–All Fast Ethernet Ports—Indicates that storm control is enabled for all FE ports.
Storm control can be applied individually to GE ports.
–Gigabit Ethernet Port—Indicates that storm control is enabled for the selected
Gigabit Ethernet port. Storm control is either enabled or disabled for ALL FE
ports.
•Unknown Unicast Control—Enables moderating unknown Unicast packets on the
device. The possible field values are:
–Enable—Enables moderating unknown Unicast packets on the device.
–Disable—Disables moderating unknown Unicast packets on the device.
•Unknown Multicast Control—Enables moderating unknown Multicast packet on the
device. The possible field values are:
–Enable—Enables moderating unknown Multicast packets on the device.
–Disable—Disables moderating unknown Multicast packets on the device.

field values are:
–Enable—Enables moderating Broadcast packets.
–Disable—Disables moderating Broadcast packets.
•Rate Threshold (250-148000)—Sets the broadcast packet rate limit for storm control.
For FE ports, the range is 250-148,000. For GE ports the range is 250-262,143 packets.
The default for FE ports is 148000, and for GE ports the default is 262,143.
