Automatic Traffic Control Commands

16

Command Usage

Once the traffic rate falls beneath the lower threshold, a trap message may be sent if
configured by the

snmp-server enable port-traps atc broadcast-alarm-clear

command or

snmp-server enable port-traps atc multicast-alarm-clear

command.

If rate limiting has been configured as a control response, it will be discontinued after the
traffic rate has fallen beneath the lower threshold, and the release timer has expired. Note that
if a port has been shut down by a control response, it will not be re-enabled by automatic traffic
control. It can only be manually re-enabled using the

auto-traffic-control control-release

command.

Example

This example sets the clear threshold for automatic storm control for broadcast traffic on port 1.

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1

Console(config-if)#auto-traffic-control broadcast alarm-clear-threshold 155

Console(config-if)#

auto-traffic-control alarm-fire-threshold

This command sets the upper threshold for ingress traffic beyond which a storm control response
is triggered after the apply timer expires. Use the no form to restore the default setting.

Syntax

auto-traffic-control {broadcast | multicast} alarm-fire-threshold threshold

no auto-traffic-control {broadcast | multicast} alarm-fire-threshold

broadcast - Specifies automatic storm control for broadcast traffic.

multicast - Specifies automatic storm control for multicast traffic.

threshold - The upper threshold for ingress traffic beyond which a storm control response
is triggered after the apply timer expires. (Range: 1-255 kilo-packets per second)

Default Setting

128 kilo-packets per second

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet)

Command Usage

Once the upper threshold is exceeded, a trap message may be sent if configured by the

snmp-server enable port-traps atc broadcast-alarm-fire

command or

snmp-server enable

port-traps atc multicast-alarm-fire

command.

After the upper threshold is exceeded, the control timer must first expire as configured by the

auto-traffic-control apply-timer

command before a control response is triggered if configured by

the

auto-traffic-control action

command.
