auto-traffic-control
This command enables automatic traffic control for broadcast or multicast storms.
Use the no form to disable this feature.
Syntax
[no] auto-traffic-control {broadcast | multicast}
• broadcast - Specifies automatic storm control for broadcast traffic.
• multicast - Specifies automatic storm control for multicast traffic.
Default Setting
Disabled
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet)
Command Usage
• Automatic storm control can be enabled for either broadcast or multicast
traffic. It cannot be enabled for both of these traffic types at the same time.
• Automatic storm control is a software level control function. Traffic storms can
also be controlled at the hardware level using the switchport packet-rate
command (page 4-227). However, only one of these control types can be
applied to a port. Enabling automatic storm control on a port will disable
hardware-level storm control on that port.
Example
This example enables automatic storm control for broadcast traffic on port 1.
auto-traffic-control alarm-fire-threshold
