switchport broadcast packet-rate
This command configures broadcast storm control. Use the no form to disable
broadcast storm control.
Syntax
switchport broadcast packet-rate rate
no switchport broadcast
rate - Threshold level as a rate; i.e., packets per second.
(Range: 1000BASE - 500-262143, 10GBASE - 1041-262143)
Default Setting
Enabled for all ports
Packet-rate limit: 1000BASE - 500 pps, 10GBASE - 1041 pps
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet)
Command Usage
• When broadcast traffic exceeds the specified threshold, packets above that
threshold are dropped.
• Broadcast control does not effect IP multicast traffic.
• The resolution for Gigabit ports is 1 packet per second (pps); i.e., any setting
between 500-262143 is acceptable. However, the resolution for the 10 Gigabit
port is in steps of 1041 pps.
Example
The following shows how to configure broadcast storm control at 600 packets per
second:
