Step 4
The keywords have these meanings:
Example:
Switch(config-if)#
storm-control
unicast level 87 65
•
For
level
, specifies the rising threshold level for broadcast, multicast, or
unicast traffic as a percentage (up to two decimal places) of the bandwidth.
The port blocks traffic when the rising threshold is reached. The range is
0.00 to 100.00.
•
(Optional) For
level-low
, specifies the falling threshold level as a percentage
(up to two decimal places) of the bandwidth. This value must be less than
or equal to the rising suppression value. The port forwards traffic when
traffic drops below this level. If you do not configure a falling suppression
level, it is set to the rising suppression level. The range is 0.00 to 100.00.
