Configuring Port-Based Traffic Control
This chapter describes how to configure the port-based traffic control features on the Catalyst 3750-E
or 3560-E switch. Unless otherwise noted, the term
switch
refers to a Catalyst 3750-E or 3560-E
standalone switch and to a Catalyst 3750-E switch stack.

Understanding Storm Control
Storm control prevents traffic on a LAN from being disrupted by a broadcast, multicast, or unicast storm
on one of the physical interfaces. A LAN storm occurs when packets flood the LAN, creating excessive
traffic and degrading network performance. Errors in the protocol-stack implementation, mistakes in
network configurations, or users issuing a denial-of-service attack can cause a storm.
Storm control (or traffic suppression) monitors packets passing from an interface to the switching bus
and determines if the packet is unicast, multicast, or broadcast. The switch counts the number of packets
of a specified type received within the 1-second time interval and compares the measurement with a
predefined suppression-level threshold.
