Storm Control on N5K NXOS 6.x

[asadhasan]

Hi Guys,

I am bit confuse with storm control support on Nexus 5K NXOS 6.x. I have notices the storm control is only available only on port channel interface. 

However, in earlier version 5.x it can be enable on physical interface level as well.

I was just wondering why its not available on physical interface level, and what if i have single access port connected to N5K.

Thanks and appreciate your time.

HI Asad,

Its supported on physical interface. Which release you are  facing this problem ?

Are u getting any error message when u configure in physical interface ?

Eg configs:

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4

switch(config-if)# storm-control broadcast level 40

switch(config-if)# storm-control multicast level 40

switch(config-if)# storm-control unicast level 40

Thanks,

Muthu.

Hi Muthu,

Thanks for your reply. I am bit confused with this explanation in documentation.

I am referring to NXOS 6.x layer 2 switch configuration guide. 

Guidelines and Limitations for Traffic Storm Control

 

When configuring the traffic storm control level, follow these guidelines and limitations:

 

• You can configure traffic storm control on a port-channel interface.

I haven't tried on actual interface but will defenetly tried on physical interface as well.

Hi Asad,

They have mentioned " you can also configure under the port-channel". It doesn't  mean you can't configured under physical interface. Its is supported. Please let me know if your facing any problem.

Thanks,

Muthu.
