Security Commands 1059
Unicast storm control can issue a trap and drop packets in excess of the
configured rate (level) or shut down the port when the rate is exceeded.
Setting the level, rate or action enables storm control. The shutdown action
disables the interface when a packet storm is detected. The trap action issues
an SNMP trap to configured SNMP agents.
Unicast storm control can only be enabled on Ethernet interfaces. It cannot
be configured on port channels.
Either the level or the rate threshold may be configured, but not both.
Use the show storm-control action and show storm-control all commands to
display the storm control settings.
Example
The following example configures any port to rate limit DLF traffic rate to 5%
of link bandwidth:
console(config)#interface range gi1/0/1-24
console(config-if)#storm-control unicast level 5
console(config-if)#exit
