| Description | This object represents the upper threshold of total
amount of a particular traffic type that can be seen
on a given interface, after which a storm event is
declared and storm control action is taken.
The value represents the traffic as a percentage of
total bandwidth of the interface, in units of 0.01 %.
For example, if a management station sets the value of
cpscUpperThreshold.3.1 as 4000, it means the
following:
a) storm control is enabled on the interface with
ifIndex = 3 for broadcast (1) packets
b) if the broadcast traffic received per second
on the interface is more than (4000*0.01 = 40%) of
the total interface bandwidth, then the system will
take storm control actions, as indicated by
cpscAction.3 .
It should be noted that setting the upper threshold value
to anything other than 100% results in storm control being
automatically enabled on the given interface, for the
given traffic type.
An implementation may not be able to support different
threshold values for different traffic types, in which
case changing the value for one traffic type will
automatically result in the threshold value for other
types also modified.
The default value of this object is implementation-
dependent. |
