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.

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>]

Parameters
Description
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.
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
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
ACLI reference for wired networks
