flow control command
The
flowcontrol
command is used only on Gigabit Ethernet ports and controls the traffic
rates during congestion.
The syntax for the
flowcontrol
command is:
flowcontrol [port <portlist>]
{asymmetric | symmetric | auto | disable}
The
flowcontrol
command is executed in the Interface Configuration mode.
The following table describes the parameters for this command.
Table 10: flowcontrol command parameters
Parameters
Description
port <portlist>
Specifies the port numbers to configure for flow
control.
Note: If you omit this parameter, the system uses the
ports you specified in the interface command but only
those ports which have speed set to 1000/full.
asymmetric | symmetric | auto |
disable
Sets the mode for flow control:
• asymmetric- PAUSE frames can only flow in one
direction.
• symmetric- PAUSE frames con flow in either
direction.
• auto- sets the port to automatically determine the flow
control mode (default)
• disable- disables flow control
no flowcontrol command
The
no flowcontrol
command is used only on Gigabit Ethernet ports and disables flow
control.
The syntax for the
no flowcontrol
command is:
no flowcontrol [port
<portlist>]
The
no flowcontrol
command is executed in the Interface Configuration mode.
The following table describes the parameters for this command.
Table 11: no flowcontrol command parameters
Parameters
Description
port <portlist>
Specifies the port numbers for which to
disable flow control.
Note: If you omit this parameter, the system
uses the ports you specified in the
