I have several Catalyst 6500 (Supervisor 32) aggregation switches with WS-X6148A-GE-TX and WS-X6148-GE-TX line cards. These line cards do not support storm-control/broadcast suppression. This impacted us badly during a recent spanning tree event.
Not surprised. The 61xx cards are not service provider suitable line cards and they have proved this very clearly. Sorry to hear about these storms - they really are devastating, aren't they? But if you're running L2 customer facing services, particularly shared L2 domain access, there are two things you care about: storm control and port security (mac address counting). The 61xx cards don't do storm control.
For example, is it possible to rate-limit broadcast/multicast, STP and ARP on a per VLAN basis? If so, how?
Yes, you replace your 61xx cards with 67xx cards. You can't do this sort of thing with qos or copp.
