Manage Flow Control - NETGEAR GSS116E User Manual

Manage Flow Control

Flow control works by pausing a port if the port becomes oversubscribed and dropping all
traffic for small bursts of time during the congestion condition. You can enable or disable
IEEE 802.3x flow control. By default, flow control is disabled.
To manage flow control:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch Using a Web
Browser on page 7.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch's password in the password field.
The switch's default password is password.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > Port Status.
Note: Models GSS108E and GSS108EPP provide 8 ports. Model GSS116E
provides 16 ports.
6. Select the check boxes for one or more ports.
7. In the Flow Control menu, select Enable or Disable.

Your settings are saved.
