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.
• To force operation to the mode specified in a flowcontrol command,
use the no negotiation command to disable auto-negotiation on the
selected interface.
• 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.
• Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is
actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming
signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to
the hub.
• Due to a hardware limitation, flow control only works on those ports
located in the same chip (ports 1-12 and ports 13-24). Cross-chip flow
control does not work.
Example
The following example enables flow control on port 5.
