Displaying Storm Control

Note Use the show interface capabilities command to determine the mode in which storm control is

supported on an interface.

The following example shows an interface that supports broadcast suppression in software (sw):

Switch# show int fa2/1 capabilities
FastEthernet2/1
Model: WS-X4148-RJ45V-RJ-45
Type: 10/100BaseTX
Speed: 10,100,auto
Duplex: half,full,auto
Auto-MDIX: no
Trunk encap. type: 802.1Q
Trunk mode: on,off,desirable,nonegotiate
Channel: yes
Broadcast suppression: percentage(0-100), hw
Multicast suppression: percentage(0-100), hw <=====unique to Sup Engine 6-E
Flowcontrol: rx-(none),tx-(none)
VLAN Membership: static, dynamic
Fast Start: yes
CoS rewrite: yes
ToS rewrite: yes
Inline power: yes (Cisco Voice Protocol)
SPAN: source/destination
UDLD: yes
Link Debounce: no
Link Debounce Time: no
Port Security: yes
Dot1x: yes
Maximum MTU: 1552 bytes (Baby Giants)
Multiple Media Types: no
Diagnostic Monitoring: N/A

Note Use the show interfaces counters storm-control command to display a count of discarded packets.

Switch# show interfaces counters storm-control
Port Broadcast Multicast Level TotalSuppressedPackets
Fa2/1 Enabled Disabled 10.00% 46516510
Gi3/1 Enabled Enabled 50.00% 0

The following example shows the output of the show storm-control command:

Switch# show storm-control //Supervisor Engine 2+ to V-10GE
Interface Filter State Upper Lower Current
--------- ------------- ------- ------- -------
Gi4/4 Forwarding 2.00% 2.00% N/A
Switch

Note In the previous example, “current” represents the percentage of traffic suppressed at a given instant, and

the value is N/A for ports that perform suppression in hardware.

Switch# show storm-control //Supervisor Engine 6-E
Interface Filter State Broadcast Multicast Level
--------- ------------- --------- --------- -----
Fa2/1 Blocking Enabled Disabled 10.00%
Gi3/1 Link Down Enabled Enabled 50.00%
