10G Fiber Network Storm-Control

BilalButt62333

Level 1

I have a big network on which switches are connected with single-mode SFP-LR fiber 10G fiber and only a few are on GE, So I want to implement on uplink ports to mitigate or stop the broadcast traffic as below

 

interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1

storm-control broadcast level 60.00 50.00
storm-control multicast level 60.00 50.00
storm-control broadcast level bps 50k 40k
storm-control multicast level pps 100 90
storm control action trap

 

So kindly validate if these parameters(rising and falling thresholds) are enough or if any other suggestion

I find this question a bit odd.
if you are concerned about broadcasts on a 10Gig interface, then you should redesign your network
think about segmenting your network using vlan's and routing to limit the size of your broadcast domains

Yes there are vlans properly configured, but I'm worried about broadcast
traffic definitely it can still occur so is it ok config?

 

 - In general , I would consider storm control  incident based , meaning 'in the beginning' don't use it , invest more in link monitoring tools, use broadcast suppression methods only when needed (after monitoring) ,
