Storm Control Commands
Storm control commands can be used to configure broadcast, multicast, and
unknown unicast storm control thresholds. Traffic storms may occur when a device
on your network is malfunctioning, or if application programs are not well
designed or properly configured. If there is too much traffic on your network,
performance can be severely degraded or everything can come to complete halt.
You can protect your network from traffic storms by setting a threshold for
broadcast, multicast or unknown unicast traffic. Any packets exceeding the
specified threshold will then be dropped.
switchport
packet-rate
This command configures broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast storm
control. Use the
no form to restore the default setting.

switchport { broadcast | multicast | unknown-unicast } packet-rate rate
no switchport { broadcast | multicast | unicast }
broadcast - Specifies storm control for broadcast traffic.
multicast - Specifies storm control for multicast traffic.
unknown-unicast - Specifies storm control for unknown unicast traffic.
rate - Threshold level as a rate; i.e., packets per second.
