Parameter Default
Flow Control Disabled
Status
Note: 100BASE-FX is fixed at 100 Mbps, full-duplex.
1000BASE-SX is fixed at 1000 Mbps, but auto-negotiates
duplex mode and flow control.
Description
Used to enable or disable flow control. Flow
control can eliminate frame loss by
"blocking" traffic from end stations or
segments connected directly to the switch
when its buffers fill. Back pressure is used
for half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full
duplex. Note that flow control should not
be used if a port is connected to a hub.
