Manage Flow Control for a Port
IEEE 802.3x flow control works by pausing a port if the port becomes oversubscribed (that is, the port
receives more traffic than it can process) and dropping all traffic for small bursts of time during the congestion
condition.
You can enable or disable flow control for an individual port. By default, flow control is disabled for all ports.
To manage flow control for a port:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2.
Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page opens.
3.
Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
