Broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast storm control
Broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM) storm control can be configured for the following
physical interface types:
• gigabitethernet
• tengigabitethernet
• fortygigabitethernet
• hundredgigabitethernet
For conceptual information about BUM storm control and operational considerations, refer to the
Network OS Administrator’s Guide.
Configuring BUM storm control
To configure storm control on a physical interface, perform the following steps.
1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace.
2. Under the node, include the , ,
, or node element.
3. Under the , , , or
node, include the leaf element and specify the interface
name in [rbridge-id/]slot/port format for which you want to configure BUM storm control.
4. Under the , , , or
node, include the node element in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-bum-storm-control namespace.
5. Under the node, include the node element.
6. Under the node, include the following leaf elements.
a. In the element, specify “broadcast”. “multicast”, or “unknown-unicast”.
b. In the element, specify “limit-bps” or “limit-percent”, depending on whether
you want to specify the rate-limit in bps or as a percentage of the line rate.
c. In the element, specify the rate limit in bps if the element
specifies “limit-bps”. Omit this element if the element specifies
“limit-percent”.
d. In the element, specify the rate limit as a percentage of the line speed if
the element specifies “limit-percent”. Omit this element if the
element specifies “limit-bps”.
e. In the element, specify the action to be taken in case the rate-limit is
violated. Valid values are “monitor”, which monitors the port in case of violation, or
“shutdown”, which shuts the port down in case of violation.
The following example rate-limits the broadcast traffic type on interface 101/0/1 to 1,000,000
bps, and shuts the port down if the rate limit is violated.
