798 Configuring Port-Based Traffic ControlConfiguring Port-Based Traffic Control (CLI)This section provides information about the commands you use to configureport-based traffic control settings. For more information about thecommands, see theDell Networking N2000, N3000, and N4000 SeriesSwitches CLI Reference Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.Configuring Flow Control and Storm ControlBeginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands toconfigure the flow control and storm control features.Command Purposeconfigure Enter global configuration mode.flowcontrol Globally enable flow control.interfaceinterface Enter interface configuration mode for the specifiedinterface. Theinterface variable includes the interface typeand number, for example tengigabitethernet 1/0/3.You can also specify a range of interfaces with the interfacerange command, for example, interface rangetengigabitethernet 1/0/8-12 configures interfaces 8, 9, 10,11, and 12.storm-control broadcast[levelrate]Enable broadcast storm recovery mode on the interfaceand (optionally) set the threshold.rate — threshold as percentage of port speed. Thepercentage is converted to a PacketsPerSecond value basedon a 512 byte average packet size.storm-control multicast[levelrate]Enable multicast storm recovery mode on the interfaceand (optionally) set the threshold.rate — threshold as percentage of port speed. Thepercentage is converted to a PacketsPerSecond value basedon a 512 byte average packet size.storm-control unicast[levelrate]Enable unknown unicast storm recovery mode on theinterface and (optionally) set the threshold.rate — threshold as percentage of port speed. Thepercentage is converted to a PacketsPerSecond value basedon a 512 byte average packet size.
