Chapter Cisco MWR 2941 Router Command Reference, Release 15.1(3)MR
storm-control
Usage Guidelines Use the storm-control command to enable or disable bandwidth-based or PPS-based broadcast,
multicast, or unicast storm control on a port. If a port is disabled during a storm, use the no form of the
shutdown interface configuration command to enable the port.
The suppression levels are entered as a percentage of total bandwidth or PPS.
At the start of a hard-coded defined time period (10 milliseconds [mSec]) the Cisco MWR 2941 starts
counting the number of bytes or PPS on that interface. With bandwidth-based storm control, when the
number of bytes received causes the traffic to exceed the percentage bandwidth configured on that
interface, traffic is dropped for the remainder of the time period. With PPS-based storm control, when
the number of packets received exceeds the PPS configured on that interface, traffic is dropped for the
remainder of the time period.
For example, if an operator configures the storm control threshold as 10% for a 1000 Mbps port, the
traffic allowed to pass during in 10 mSec is 1000 M*0.1*0.01 bits.
By default, when storm control occurs, traffic is dropped. Optionally, you can configure the router to
shutdown the port on which a storm is occurring or send an SNMP trap by using the action keyword
option.
When configuring traffic storm control support on the Cisco MWR 2941, note the following:
• The Cisco MWR 2941 does not support storm control on a port-channel interface.
• Storm control on the Cisco MWR 2941 does not control protocol data units (PDUs).
• In the show interface counters command output, multicast packets are counted as unicast packets.
• The following SNMP trap message applies to all traffic (broadcast, multicast, and unicast) storm
detection:
%MWR2900_STORM_CONTROL-2-TRAP: Storm control Sending SNMP trap
GigabitEthernet{slot/port}.
• The Cisco MWR 2941 does not support the debugging of traffic storm control.
Examples The following example shows how to enable broadcast storm control on a port with a 75.67 percent rising
suppression level:
Router(config-if)# storm-control broadcast level 75.67
The following example shows how to enable broadcast storm control on a port with a 400000 pps output
rate suppression level:
Router(config-if)# storm-control broadcast level pps 4000000.67
The following example shows how to enable the shutdown action on a port:
12.2(15)ZJ This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)ZJ and the
level keyword, the lower-level argument, and the action and shutdown
keywords were added to support the Ethernet switch network module on
Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, and Cisco 3700 series routers.
15.1(3)MR This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)MR to support
traffic storm control on the Cisco MWR 2941 and the level pps keyword
option was added to support the configuration of PPS-based traffic storm
control on the Cisco MWR 2941.
