Modifying Storm Control port parameters, All Fast Ethernet Ports - gigabit

Page 223 highlights

- All Fast Ethernet Ports-Indicates that storm control is enabled for all FE ports. Storm control can be applied individually to GE ports. - Gigabit Ethernet Port-Indicates that storm control is enabled for the selected Gigabit Ethernet port. Storm control is either enabled or disabled for ALL FE ports. • Unknown Unicast Control-Enables moderating unknown Unicast packets on the device. The possible field values are: - Enable-Enables moderating unknown Unicast packets on the device. - Disable-Disables moderating unknown Unicast packets on the device. • Unknown Multicast Control-Enables moderating unknown Multicast packet on the device. The possible field values are: - Enable-Enables moderating unknown Multicast packets on the device. - Disable-Disables moderating unknown Multicast packets on the device. • Broadcast Control-Enables moderating unknown broadcast packets. The possible field values are: - Enable-Enables moderating Broadcast packets. - Disable-Disables moderating Broadcast packets. • Rate Threshold (250-148000)-Sets the broadcast packet rate limit for storm control. For FE ports, the range is 250-148,000. For GE ports the range is 250-262,143 packets. The default for FE ports is 148000, and for GE ports the default is 262,143. Enabling Storm Control on the device: 1 Open the Storm Control page 2 Select an interface on which to implement storm control. 3 Define the Unknown Unicast Control, Unknown Multicast Control, Broadcast Control, and the Rate Threshold (250-148000) fields. 4 Click Apply Changes. Storm control is enabled on the device. Modifying Storm Control port parameters: 1 Open the Storm Control page. 2 Modify the Unknown Unicast Control, Unknown Multicast Control, Broadcast Control, and the Rate Threshold (250-148000) fields. 3 Click Apply Changes. The storm control port parameters are saved to the device. Configuring Switch Infor mation 223
