Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.1 for the QFX Series.

Description

For interfaces configured for storm control, configure the storm control level as the bandwidth in kilobits per second (Kbps). If the combination of broadcast and unknown unicast traffic exceeds this level, the switch performs the appropriate action.

Default

None.

Options

bandwith—Broadcast and unknown unicast traffic rate in Kbps.

Range: 100 through 10000000 Kbps

Default: None

Note: When you configure storm control bandwidth, the value you configure is rounded off internally to the closest multiple of 64 Kbps, and the rounded-off value represents the bandwidth that is actually enforced. For example, if you configure a bandwidth limit of 150 Kbps, storm control enforces a bandwidth limit of 128 Kbps.

Caution: Junos OS allows you to configure a storm control value that exceeds the bandwidth of the interface. If you configure an interface with such a value, storm control does not drop broadcast or unknown unicast packets even if they consume all the available bandwidth.
