Configure storm control settings
A broadcast storm is the result of an excessive number of broadcast messages
simultaneously transmitted across a network by a single port. Forwarded message
responses can overload network resources, cause the network to time out, or do both.
The switch measures the incoming packet rate per port for broadcast, multicast, unknown,
and unicast packets and discards packets if the rate exceeds the defined value. Y
ou enable
storm control per interface, by defining the packet type and the rate at which the packets are
transmitted.

The global storm control settings apply to all ports. After you configure the global settings,
you can specify storm control settings for one or more ports.
To configure storm control settings:
