No. storm-control would cause loss of traffic, It would be better suited if the question stated "stop multicast traffic if the rate exceeds 2MB."

Thanks, Josh On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 7:40 PM, Tyson Scott <[email protected]> wrote: Good idea. But what is the difference between using storm control and multicast rate-limit on the L3 interface? I am assuming that is the actual answer. Does storm control rate-limit or drop traffic? I think you would find that storm-control will drop all traffic anytime the level of traffic being received exceeded 2MB so probably not what you want to do.

Do not use CAR or MQC. Could I use storm control multicast on BB2's switchport to accomplish this or did I have to much meth in my Wheaties this morning?
