Ethernet Configuration Commands

When auto is used with a set of speeds, only those speeds are used by the port 

for the negotiation capabilities. Alternatively, if no speed arguments are 

configured, then all the speed capabilities are considered. SFP transceivers 

support auto-negotiation mode only.

The following example configures the speed operation of Ethernet port 1/0/5 

to force 100-Mbps operation.

console(config)#interface gigabitethernet 1/0/5

console(config-if)#speed 100

Use the storm-control broadcast command in Interface Configuration mode 

to enable broadcast storm recovery mode for a specific interface. If the mode 

is enabled, broadcast storm recovery is active, and if the rate of L2 broadcast 

traffic ingressing on an interface increases beyond the configured threshold, 

the traffic will be dropped. Therefore, the rate of broadcast traffic will be 

limited to the configured threshold. 

storm-control broadcast [level | 

rate]

• level— The configured rate as a percentage of link-speed.
•

rate — The configured rate in kilobits per second (kbps). (Range: 0-100)

The default value is 5.
