Set port flowcontrol Command

Use the set port flowcontrol command to set the send/receive mode for
flow-control frames (IEEE 802.3x or Avaya proprietary) for a full duplex port. Each
direction (send or receive) can be configured separately only for Gigabit ports.
Avaya proprietary flow control cannot be configured on Gigabit ports. The set
port flowcontrol command cannot be used on Gigabit ports for which
autonegotiation is enabled.
The syntax for this command is:
set port flowcontrol {direction} <mod_num>/<port_num> {value}
where the parameters of direction are receive|send|all, and the
parameters of value are: on|off|proprietary.

Description
Controls the receipt of IEEE802.3x flow-control frames on Gigabit
ports only:
• ON indicates that the local port will act upon flow control
frames received from the far end
• OFF indicates that the local port will discard flow control
frames received from the far end
Controls the sending of IEEE802.3x flow-control frames from
Gigabit ports only:
• ON indicates that the local port is allowed to send flow control
frames to the far end
• OFF indicates that the local port is not allowed to send flow
control frames to the far end
Controls the sending and receipt of flow-control frames for any
type of ports:
• ON indicates that the local port will both act upon and send
IEEE802.3x flow control frames
• OFF indicates that the local port will both discard and not send
flow control frames (of any type)
• PROPRIETARY indicates that the local port will both act upon
and send Avaya proprietary flow control frames.
A proprietary flow control which may be used when a P330 is
connecteced to M770 10/100 ports or P110 ports.
