Storm control on EXOS

Storm control on EXOS

How do you control broadcast storms, multicast storms, etc. in the Extreme EXOS, in the Cisco world there is "storm-control", but I don't see anything in EXOS to handle this. I recently had a go around with the even Intel I217-LM NIC driver that sends IPv6 Multicast Listener Discovery Queries from Lenovo M93p desktops when in power save mode on driver ver 12.6.47.0, upgrading to ver 12.6.x fixed the issue, but obviously the network is wide open for such issues.

On BlackDiamond 8800 and X8 series switches, SummitStack, and Summit family switches, you cancontrol ingress flooding of broadcast and multicast traffic and traffic for unknown destination MAC
addresses.
To control ingress flooding of broadcast and multicast traffic and traffic for unknown destination MAC
addresses, enter the command:

configure ports port_list rate-limit flood [broadcast | multicast | unknowndestmac][no-limit | pps]
