Ethernet Port Commands interfaces pause
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide March 2011 page 1-17
interfaces pause
Configures whether or not the switch will honor flow control PAUSE frames on the specified interface.
PAUSE frames are used to temporarily pause the flow of traffic between two connected devices to help
prevent packet loss when traffic congestion occurs between switches.
interfaces slot[/port[-port2]] pause {rx | disable}
Syntax Definitions
slot Slot number you want to configure.
port Port number of the interface you want to configure.
port2 Last port number in a range of ports you want to configure.
rx Allows interface to honor PAUSE frames from peer switches and
temporarily stop sending traffic to the peer. Does not transmit PAUSE
frames to peer switches.
disable Disables flow control on the interface.
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 10K
Defaults
By default, flow control is disabled on all switch interfaces.
Usage Guidelines
•
Flow control is only supported on interfaces configured to run in full-duplex mode; half-duplex mode
is not supported.
•
If both autonegotiation and flow control are enabled on the same local interface, autonegotiation calcu-
lates operational flow control settings for that interface. Note that the operational settings override the
configured settings as long as autonegotiation and flow control are both enabled for the interface:
•
If autonegotiation is disabled, the configured flow control settings are applied to the local interface.
Examples
-> interfaces 4/2 pause rx
-> interfaces 3/1-6 disable
