This option shows the Port Type menu. From this menu you can select one of the

do not contain a VLAN tag.
Pause Type
3: HBA Parameters n: FCoE Engine 2: Configure FCoE Parameters n. Pause Type
This option shows the Pause Type menu. Pause types include Standard Pause
and Priority Flow Control (per-priority pause). Pause is a frame that controls the
flow between transmitter and receiver if the transmitter sends data at a higher rate
than the receiver. In that situation, the receiver sends a PAUSE frame to the
transmitter and the transmitter suspends transmission for the specified time.
From the Pause Type menu you can select one of the following pause types; the
current type is indicated:
Standard Pause (default)
Priority Flow Control
Type the number for the pause type you want, and then press
ENTER
.
Standard Pause applies to all the frames. By default, Standard Pause is enabled
on the server-facing Ethernet ports, as well as on the network-facing Ethernet
ports.This setting affects the connection only when connected to a peer that is not
configured with data center bridging capability exchange protocol (DCBX).
