System configuration using ACLI
To enable flow control using ACLI, see the following sections:
• flowcontrol command
• no flowcontrol command
• default flowcontrol command
flowcontrol command
Use the flowcontrol command only on Gigabit Ethernet ports to control the traffic rates
during congestion.
The syntax for the flowcontrol command is
flowcontrol [port <portlist>] {asymmetric | symmetric | auto |
disable}
Run the flowcontrol command in Interface Configuration mode.
The following table describes the parameters for this command.
Table 61: Flowcontrol parameters
Parameters and
variables
port <portlist>
asymmetric | symmetric |
auto | disable
no flowcontrol command
Use the no flowcontrol command only on Gigabit Ethernet ports to disable flow control.
The syntax for the no flowcontrol command is
no flowcontrol [port <portlist>]

Specify the port numbers to configure for flow control.
Important:
If you omit this parameter, the system uses the ports you
specified in the interface
that have speed set to 1000/full.
Set the mode for flow control:
• asymmetric: PAUSE frames can flow only in one direction.
• symmetric: PAUSE frames can flow in either direction.
• auto: Set the port to automatically determine the flow control
mode (default).
• disable: Disable flow control on the port.
