About Storm Control
This section contains the following subsections:
•
Hardware-Based Storm Control Implementation, page 65-1
•
Software-Based Storm Control Implementation, page 65-2
Storm control prevents LAN interfaces from being disrupted by a broadcast storm. A broadcast storm
occurs when broadcast packets flood the subnet, creating excessive traffic and degrading network
performance. Errors in the protocol-stack implementation or in the network configuration can cause a
broadcast storm.
Hardware-Based Storm Control Implementation
Broadcast suppression uses filtering that measures broadcast activity in a subnet over a one-second
interval and compares the measurement with a predefined threshold. If the threshold is reached, further
broadcast activity is suppressed for the duration of the interval. Broadcast suppression is disabled by
default.
