set port flowcontrol
User level: read-write, admin.
Use the set port flowcontrol command to set the send/receive mode for
flow-control frames (IEEE 802.3x or proprietary) for a full duplex port. Each
direction (send or receive) can be configured separately.
The syntax for this command is:
set port flowcontrol [direction] <module/port> [value]
Example:
direction receive – determines whether the port can receive
administrative status from a remote device.
Available only for Gigabit Ethernet modules with negotiation set to
off.
send – determines whether the local port can send
administrative status to a remote device.
Available only for Gigabit Ethernet modules with negotiation set to
off.
all – send and receive (symmetric flow control).
module Number of the module.
port Number of the port on the module.
value off – used with receive to turn off an attached device's ability
to send flow-control packets to a local port. Used with send
to turn off the local port's ability to send administrative
status to a remote device.
on – used with receive to require that a local port receive
administrative status from a remote device. Used with send,
the local port sends administrative status to a remote device.
