This feature is available for the XL versions only. For backpressure to

be implemented, the ports must be in half-duplex mode.

Backpressure is useful when a port’s input buffer is running low on of

memory resources. For example, outbound packets are traversing a

single uplink port. When backpressure is enabled, the switch

simulates a collision when its input buffers are nearly filled so that

sending devices will defer transmissions. These sending devices will

retry transmissions according to the Ethernet back-off algorithm.

Once switch resources are available again, the switch stops sending

the collision signals and devices can freely transmit again. Figure 4-2

shows backpressure enabled.
