xStack® DGS-3620 Series Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide affect the overall performance of the switch network. To help rectify this packet storm, the Switch will monitor and control the situation. Packet storms are monitored to determine if too many packets are flooding the network based on threshold levels provided by the user. Once a packet storm has been detected, the Switch will drop packets coming into the Switch until the storm has subsided. This method can be utilized by selecting the Drop option of the Action parameter in the window below. The Switch will also scan and monitor packets coming into the Switch by monitoring the Switch's chip counter. This method is only viable for Broadcast and Multicast storms because the chip only has counters for these two types of packets. Once a storm has been detected (that is, once the packet threshold set below has been exceeded), the Switch will shut down the port to all incoming traffic, with the exception of STP BPDU packets, for a time period specified using the Count Down parameter. If a Time Interval parameter times-out for a port configured for traffic control and a packet storm continues, that port will be placed in Shutdown Forever mode, which will cause a warning message to be sent to the Trap Receiver. Once in Shutdown Forever mode, the method of recovering the port is to manually recoup it using the System Configuration > Port configuration > Port Settings window or automatic recovering after the time period that is configured in the Traffic Auto Recover Time field. Select the disabled port and return its State to Enabled status. To utilize this method of Storm Control, choose the Shutdown option of the Action parameter in the window below. Use this window to enable or disable storm control and adjust the threshold for multicast and broadcast storms. To view the following window, click QoS > Traffic Control Settings, as show below: Figure 6-6 Traffic Control Settings window The fields that can be configured are described below: Parameter Description Unit From Port / To Port Select the unit you want to configure. Use the drop-down menu to select the port range to use for this configuration. 266
