level pps pps Specify the rising and falling suppression levels as a rate in packets per second at
[pps-low] which traffic is received on the port.
pps—Rising suppression level, up to 1 decimal place. The range is 0.0 to
•
10000000000.0. Block the flooding of storm packets when the value specified
for pps is reached.
pps-low—(Optional) Falling suppression level, up to 1 decimal place. The range
•
is 0.0 to 10000000000.0. This value must be equal to or less than the rising
suppression value.
You can use metric suffixes such as k, m, and g for large number thresholds.

trap}
The keywords have these meanings:
• shutdown—Disables the port during a storm.
trap—Sends an SNMP trap when a storm occurs.
•
Broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control are disabled.
The default action is to filter traffic and to not send an SNMP trap.

The storm-control suppression level can be entered as a percentage of total bandwidth of the port, as a
rate in packets per second at which traffic is received, or as a rate in bits per second at which traffic is
received.
When specified as a percentage of total bandwidth, a suppression value of 100 percent means that no
limit is placed on the specified traffic type. A value of level 0 0 means that all broadcast, multicast, or
unicast traffic on that port is blocked. Storm control is enabled only when the rising suppression level is
less than 100 percent. If no other storm-control configuration is specified, the default action is to filter
the traffic causing the storm and to send no SNMP traps.
When the storm control threshold for multicast traffic is reached, all multicast traffic except control
traffic, such as bridge protocol data unit (BDPU) and Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) frames, are
blocked. However, the switch does not differentiate between routing updates, such as Open Shortest Path
First (OSPF) and regular multicast data traffic, so both types of traffic are blocked.
The trap and shutdown options are independent of each other.
