I'm reviewing some configs that were done before I got here. I had a
quick question on storm-control that I've never been sure about. The
command "storm-control action trap"... does that just generate traps
when passing the threshold levels, or does it filter too? I've seen
posts in doing searches that say that it's trap only, and some that
say filter and trap. Could it be different for different models and
IOSes?

Thanks!

conf t
int X
storm-control action shutdown
storm-control action trap
storm-control broadcast level pps 100
storm-control multicast level pps 100
end

notice that i configured shutdown as well as trap, this within two sepperate
lines.
trap only warns you that it exeeded the threashold.
shutdown, well as it says, it pulls the port down.

sometimes it is used together with:

errdisable recovery cause storm-control
errdisable recovery interval 30

recovering 30 sek after the shutdown and giving it another try.

be sure where you are deploying it, otherwise things go up n down... but at
least you got the logs..
