◆
Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end
stations or segments connected directly to the switch when its buffers
fill. When enabled, back pressure is used for half-duplex operation and
IEEE 802.3-2002 (formally IEEE 802.3x) for full-duplex operation.
◆
To force flow control on or off (with the flowcontrol or no flowcontrol
command), use the no negotiation command to disable auto-
negotiation on the selected interface.
◆
When using the negotiation command to enable auto-negotiation, the
optimal settings will be determined by the capabilities command. To
enable flow control under auto-negotiation, “flowcontrol” must be
included in the capabilities list for any port

The following example enables flow control on port 5.

sampling interval and number of samples. Use the no form to remove a
named entry from the sampling table.
