storm-control ingress

storm-control ingress
Limits ingress traffic on a specified interface.
Synopsis storm-control ingress {broadcast | unknown-unicast | multicast} {limit-bps | limit-percent} rate
[{monitor | shutdown]}
no storm-control ingress {broadcast | unknown-unicast | multicast} {limit-bps | limit-percent} rate
[{monitor | shutdown]}
Operands broadcast Specifies that the command will operate on broadcast traffic only.
unknown-unicast Specifies that the command will operate on unknown-unicast traffic only.
multicast Specifies that the command will operate on multicast traffic only.
limit-bps Specifies that the value given to the rate parameter is in bits per second.
If the traffic on the interface reaches this rate, no more traffic (for the
traffic type specified) is allowed on the interface.
limit-percent Specifies that the value given to the rate parameter is in percentage of
capacity of the interface. If the traffic on the interface reaches this
percentage of capacity, no more traffic (for the traffic type specified) is
allowed on the interface.
rate Specifies the amount of traffic allowed, either in bits per second or a
percentage of the capacity of the interface, depending on which parameter
was chosen with the rate.
• Range if you are specifying rate in bps: 0 to 10000000000. Because
each application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) may support different
bit granularity, bit rates are rounded up to the next achievable rate.
• Range if you are specifying rate in percent of interface capacity:
0 to 100.
monitor Specifies that, if a rate limit is reached within a five-second sampling
period, a log message gets sent. A log message is generated upon the first
occurrence of such an event. Subsequent log messages are generated only
at the end of one complete sample interval in which no rate limits are
reached.
shutdown Specifies that, if a rate limit is exceeded within a five-second sampling
period, the interface will be shut down. You must manually re-enable the
interface after a shutdown.
Defaults None
Command Modes Interface subtype configuration mode
Description Use this command to limit the amount of broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast (BUM)
ingress traffic on a specified interface. The shutdown parameter monitors the status of the
configured rate limit every five seconds, and if the maximum defined rate is exceeded the
corresponding interface is shut down until you re-enable it using the no shut command.
Usage Guidelines This command is supported on the 8770-4 and 8770-8 platforms only.
If you want to modify an active BUM storm control configuration, you must first disable it, then
issue the storm-control ingress command again with the new parameters.
