Manage Flow Control - NETGEAR GS750E User Manual

48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch with 2 SFP Ports Model GS750E

Manage flow control

Flow control works by pausing a port if the port becomes oversubscribed. It drops all
traffic for small intervals of time during the congestion condition. You can enable or
disable IEEE 802.3x flow control. By default, flow control is disabled.
To manage flow control:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch using a web
browser on page 7.
The login page displays.
4. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > Port Status.
