Parameter Definition
Flow Control This field determines if the port uses IEEE 802.3z pause
Mode control. The pause mechanism allows the port to stop a
sending station from sending more packets if the buffers of
the receiving port are full. Flow control helps prevent lost
or dropped packets.
This feature is recommended for use primarily on end
station connections. Using this feature on trunk ports can
cause unnecessary congestion on the network.
Select one of the following options:
Enable – Sets the port to both send and receive pause
signals. This setting prevents buffer overflows on both local
and remote port.
Disable – Sets the port to neither send or receive pause
signals. Use this setting when flow control is causing
congestion in other areas of the network.
Enable (Send Only) – Sets the port to only send pause
signals. This setting prevents buffer overflows on the local
port, but not on the remote port.
Enable (Receive Only) – Sets the port to only receive and
respond to pause signals from the remote port. This setting
prevents buffer overflows on the remote port, but not on the
local port.
Auto Auto-Negotiation is not supported on the 10-Gigabit
Negotiation module. The IEEE 802.3ae standard refers to but does not
Mode specify an autonegotiation function. 10-Gigabit devices
should all operate at 10Gigabits/sec in Full Duplex mode.
Remote Fault Remote fault detection is not supported on the 10-Gigabit
Detect module. The 802.3ae standard provides for automatic
detection of link failure. This setting is set to Disable and
cannot be changed.
To configure ports on a 10-Gigabit module, use the following CLI
command:
set port
When you use the CLI to configure the 10-Gigabit module, enter the the
module number in the format of <Slot N>-<Slot N+1>. For example, to
enable the 10-Gigabit port if the module were in slots 5 and 6, you would
enter set port enable 5-6/1.
You must be in Global Configuration mode to enter the set port command.
