Service Manual

Storm Control

The Dell Networking Operating System (OS) storm control feature allows you to limit or suppress traffic during a traffic storm.

Storm control is supported on the Dell Networking OS.

Important Points to Remember

• Interface commands can only be applied on physical interfaces (virtual local area networks [VLANs] and link aggregation group [LAG]

interfaces are not supported).

• An INTERFACE-level command only supports storm control configuration on ingress.

• An INTERFACE-level command overrides any CONFIGURATION-level ingress command for that physical interface, if both are

configured.

• Do not apply per-VLAN quality of service (QoS) on an interface that has storm control enabled (either on an interface or globally).
