Hi,
Make the port a routed port (= ingress packets go nowhere), set up
a SPAN session, find out what sort of packets are coming in (broacast,
multicast, unknown-unicast) and how many of them. Adjust limits,
as ytti said.
Interesting approach, even if not sure it will get anywhere on this one.
While I agree to "have storm-control anywhere" - if this is intended
to be a routed link, limits can be fairly high (the only reason why
you want storm-control is to protect the 4900M's CPU, not anything
else in the network).
10k is typical value I use for network protection purposes, anything
serious is gonna exceed that in a heartbeat.
OTOH, a 4900M? really?

6) 2U, Dual PS, external CF, 4 post mounting
7) Rock stable.
uptime is 3 years, 27 weeks, 23 hours, 5 minutes
There are plenty of places left for gear like this, especially as CPE
and especially considering the alternatives I see people putting in.
If you got suggestions for gear less than 4figures with similar or
better qualities, I am all ears.
