Although the storm suppression function and the storm constrain function can all be used to control
specific type of traffic, they conflict with each other. So, do not configure the both for an Ethernet port at
the same time. For example, with multicast storm suppression ratio set on an Ethernet port, do not
enable the storm constrain function for multicast traffic on the port. Refer to
Configuring the
Broadcast/Multicast/Unknown Unicast Storm Suppression Ratio for an Ethernet Port for information
about the storm suppression function.
With the storm constrain function enabled on an Ethernet port, you can specify the system to act as
follows when the traffic detected exceeds the threshold.
z
Blocking the port. In this case, the port is blocked and thus stops forwarding the traffic of this type
till the traffic detected is lower than the threshold. Note that a port blocked by the storm constrain
function can still forward other types of traffic and monitor the blocked traffic.
z
Shutting down the port. In this case, the port is shut down and stops forwarding all types of traffics.
Ports shut down by the storm constrain function can only be brought up by using the undo
shutdown command or disabling the storm constrain function.
Follow these steps to configure the storm constrain function on an Ethernet port:

By default, the storm constrain
function is disabled.

By default, the storm constrain
function is disabled.
Specify to send trap messages

the upper threshold or drops down

point higher than the upper
threshold
storm-constrain enable trap
Optional
By default, the system sends trap
messages when the traffic
detected exceeds the upper
threshold or drops down below the
lower threshold from a point higher
than the upper threshold.
Specify to send log when the traffic
detected exceeds the upper
threshold or drops down below the
lower threshold from a point higher
than the upper threshold
storm-constrain enable log
Optional
By default, the system sends log
when the traffic detected exceeds
the upper threshold or drops down
below the lower threshold from a
point higher than the upper
threshold.
