Storm control inability

Dear Xperts,

 

Enabled 10 % Multicast & broadcast storm control in the L3 switch interface connected towards L2 switch. Unfortunately user NIC card malfunctioning which generated high frequent broadcast made L3 switch CPU to hit 99%.

With the help of netdr we determined the MAC address and post shutting the port resolved the issue. 

Kindly assist as in providing root-cause behind this abnormality.

L3 switch configurations: 

interface GigabitEthernet1/10
  switchport
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk native vlan 903
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 95,142,281,418,501,578,737,751,755,802,828,903
 switchport trunk allowed vlan add 993
 switchport mode trunk
 storm-control broadcast level 10.00
 storm-control multicast level 10.00
 channel-protocol lacp
 channel-group 256 mode active
end


L2 CatOS switch configurations: 

#module 1 : 2-port 1000BaseX Supervisor
set vlan 903  1/1-2
clear trunk 1/1  2-94,97-280,282-417,419-577,579-736,738-750,752-754,756-801,803,805-827,829-902,904-992,994-1001
set trunk 1/1  on dot1q 1,95-96,281,418,578,737,751,755,802,804,828,903,993,1002-1005,1025-4094
clear trunk 1/2  2-94,96-141,143-280,282-417,419-500,502-577,579-736,738-750,752-754,756-801,803,805-827,829-902,904-992,994-1005,1025-4094
set trunk 1/2  on dot1q 1,95,142,281,418,501,578,737,751,755,802,804,828,903,993
set port lacp-channel 1/1-2 mode active

Hi,

Can you please provide more information as for your L3 switch. If it is Cat6500 family then please note that configuring traffic storm control is not advised on ports which are members of etherchannel as these ports go to a suspended state afterwards. Also some ethernet switching modules do not support traffic storm control (differs with different IOS versions).

Thanks & Regards,

Antonin
