config traffic control
Purpose Used to configure broadcast/multicast traffic control.
Syntax
config traffic control [<storm_grouplist> | all] {broadcast
[enable | disable] | multicast [enable | disable] | dlf [enable |
disable] | threshold <value 0-255>}
Description This command is used to configure broadcast storm control.
Parameters
<storm_grouplist> − Used to specify a broadcast storm control
group. This is specified by listing the lowest switch number and
the beginning port number on that switch, separated by a colon.
Then the highest switch number, and the highest port number of
the range (also separated by a colon) are specified. The beginning
and end of the port list range are separated by a dash. For
example, 1:3 specifies switch number 1, port 3. 2:4 specifies
switch number 2, port 4. 1:3-2:4 specifies all of the ports between
switch 1, port 3 and switch 2, port 4 − in numerical order.
all − Specifies all broadcast storm control groups on the Switch.
broadcast [enable | disable] − Enables or disables broadcast
storm control.
multicast [enable | disable] − Enables or disables multicast storm
control.
dlf [enable | disable] − Enables or disables dlf traffic control.
threshold <value 0-255> − The upper threshold at which the
specified traffic control is switched on. The <value> is the number
of broadcast/multicast/dlf packets, in kilopackets per second
(Kpps), received by the Switch that will trigger the storm traffic
control measures.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
