Hello Vaibhav,

storm-control can help but it drops traffic exceeding a threshold it doesn't put the port in shutdown.

you can also think of using another related feature called block flooding that allows to drop multicast and unknown unicast

both features work inbound on received traffic.

I've seen they are supported also on 12.1 releases

see

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3550/software/release/12.2_25_see/configuration/guide/swtrafc.html#wp1241590

we use broadcast storm-control at 1% in campus networks and it is helpful.

Hope to help

Hello Vaibhav,

the command should be:

int fas0/x

storm-control broadcast level 1

(as explained in the link I've provided in my first post)

in case of FE ports it may be wise to use 10%

I have it on C4506

Hope to help
