Changing the Flow Control Setting

Flow control applies to ports operating in full-duplex mode. A switch port

uses flow control to control the flow of ingress packets from its end node. A

port using flow control issues a special frame, referred to as a PAUSE

frame, as specified in the IEEE 802.3x standard, to stop the transmission

of data from an end node. When a port needs to stop an end node from

transmitting data, it issues this frame. The frame instructs the end node to

cease transmission. The port continues to issue PAUSE frames until it is

ready again to receive data from the end node.

To change the flow control setting on a port, perform the following

procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type B to select Basic Configuration.

The Basic Switch Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 30

2. From the Basic Switch Configuration Menu, type P to select Port

Configuration.

The Port Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 13 on page 50.

3. Type F to select Set Flow Control.

The following prompt is displayed:

Set Flow Control -> Enter port number >

4. Enter the port number whose flow control setting you want to change.

You can configure only one port at a time.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enable or Disable flow control for port <n> (E/D)>

5. Type E to enable flow control or D to disable it. The default is enabled.

The display is refreshed to show the port’s new flow control setting.

6. Type Q to select Quit to previous menu and save your changes.
