I am getting the following log message nearly every minute:
"l2ald[1164]: L2ALD_ST_CTL_IN_EFFECT: ge-0/0/4.0: storm control in effect on the port"
However, I do not see unusually high broadcast/multicast traffic on that interface that could have triggered storm control, "monitor interface ge-0/0/4" shows only a few hundred incoming or outgoing broadcast/multicast packets per second, and the network works without any noticeable problems.
Switch: ex4300-48t (2 units in a virtual chassis configuration)
Software: JUNOS 13.2X51-D20.3
Configuration:
root@sw7> show configuration interfaces ge-0/0/4
unit 0 {
family ethernet-switching {
interface-mode access;
vlan {
members default;
}
storm-control default;
}
}
root@sw7> show configuration forwarding-options
forwarding-options {
storm-control-profiles default {
all;
}
}
Port ge-0/0/4 is connected to another switch, should I use trunk mode? I don't use any VLANs except the factory-configured default VLAN (all ports in VLAN default, configured like ge-0/0/4).
