Configuring storm control globally on the device

Perform the following steps to configure BUM storm control globally on the device.
  1. Enter global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
    
  2. 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).

  3. 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).

  4. 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.
  5. Return to privileged EXEC mode.
    device(config)# end
    
  6. 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
  7. 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
