Storm Control Flashcards

By discarding excess traffic when a certain threshold of unicast, multicast, or broadcast traffic is received on a port.
How is storm control configured?
Port-by-port.
In addition to discarding excess traffic, what actions can storm control take on a port?
Storm control can also shutdown the port, or just send a trap.
When configuring storm control two thresholds can be configured instead of just one. What do this thresholds do?
The first configured threshold value determines when storm control kicks in. The second configured value determines when storm control stops taking action.
What are the two main interface-config commands to enable storm control?
“storm-control broadcast/unicast/multicast level” and
“storm-control action”.
