To force flow control on or off (with the flowcontrol or no flowcontrol
command), use the no negotiation command to disable
auto-negotiation on the selected interface.
When using the negotiation command to enable auto-negotiation, the
optimal settings will be determined by the capabilities command. To
enable flow control under auto-negotiation, “flowcontrol” must be
included in the capabilities list for any port
Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually
required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals
may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub.
Example
The following example enables flow control on port 5.
