After the apply timer expires, the settings in the Traffic > Automatic

Traffic Control (Configure Interface) page are used to determine if a

control action will be triggered (as configured under the Action field) or

a trap message sent (as configured under the Trap Storm Fire field).

The release timer only applies to a Rate Control response set in the

Action field of the ATC (Interface Configuration) page. When a port has

been shut down by a control response, it must be manually re-enabled

using the Manual Control Release (see

page 271

).
