Storm Control
Storm control is supported on the MXL switch platform.
The storm control feature allows you to control unknown-unicast and broadcast traffic on Layer 2 and
Layer 3 physical interfaces.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: The Dell Networking OS supports broadcast control (the storm-control
broadcast command) for Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic. The minimum number of packets per second (PPS)
that storm control can limit is two.
