Configuring storm control globally on the device

About this task

Perform the following steps to configure BUM storm control globally on the device.

Procedure

Enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
Issue the storm control ingress command to set a traffic limit for broadcast traffic.
```
device(config)# storm-control ingress broadcast limit-bps 400000
```
In this example you set a control on the inbound broadcast traffic, limiting the rate to 400000 bits per second (bps).
Issue the storm control ingress command to set a traffic limit for multicast traffic.
```
device(config)# storm-control ingress multicast limit-bps 400000
```
In this example you set a control on the inbound multicast traffic, limiting the rate to 400000 bits per second (bps).
Issue the storm control ingress command to set a traffic limit for unknown-unicast traffic.
```
device(config)# storm-control ingress unknown-unicast limit-bps 50000000 
```
In this example you set a control on the inbound unknown-unicast traffic, limiting the rate to 50000000 bps.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
```
device(config)# end
```

Verify the storm control configuration.

device# show running-config storm-control
storm-control ingress broadcast limit-bps 400000
storm-control ingress multicast limit-bps 400000
storm-control ingress unknown-unicast limit-bps 50000000

Save the configuration.

device# save running-config startup-config

BUM storm control configuration example

device# configure terminal
device(config)# storm-control ingress broadcast limit-bps 400000  
device(config)# storm-control ingress multicast limit-bps 400000  
device(config)# storm-control ingress unknown-unicast limit-bps 50000000     
device(config)# end
device# show running-config storm-control
device# save running-config startup-config
