About this task
The flowcontrol command is used only on Gigabit Ethernet ports and controls the traffic
rates during congestion.
Procedure
1. Logon to the Interface Configuration mode in ACLI.
2. To configure flow control on Gigabit Ethernet ports, enter the following command:
Variable definitions
The following table describes the parameters for the flowcontrol command.
port<portlist>
asymmetric|symmetric|auto|disable
no
default
Getting Started
[no] [default] flowcontrol [port <portlist>] {asymmetric|
symmetric|auto|disable}
Variable Value
Specifies the port numbers to use for flow
control
Important:
If you omit this parameter, the system
uses the port number you specified in the
interface command.
Sets the mode for flow control:
• asymmetric — enables the local port to
perform flow control on the remote port
• symmetric — enables the local port to
perform flow control
• auto — sets the port to automatically
determine the flow control mode
• disable — disables flow control on the port
DEFAULT:auto
Disables flow control on the specified
port(s).
Sets the flow control to auto, which
automatically detects the flow control on the
specified port(s).
