Use this task to configure traffic storm mitigation by tracking the source and type
of frames to determine whether they are legitimately required. The switch discards
frames that it determines to be the products of a traffic storm. You can apply storm
control to broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast traffic, and configure
packet-based or byte-based rate limit thresholds for each interface.
-
Select Broadcast to
include traffic that is forwarded to all destinations simultaneously.
-
Select Unknown Unicast
to include traffic with a destination address does not appear in the forwarding
database.
-
Select Multicast to
include traffic with a multicast address as a destination.
-
Select TCP-SYN to include TCP-SYN flood traffic.
-
For Rate Limit Type,
select KBps or Percentage if you
selected Byte
Based, and PPS if you
selected Packet
Based.
-
For Value, enter when the switch should discard traffic of the selected
types.
