Chapter 8: Port Parameter Commands

ENABLE SWITCH PORT FLOW

Syntax

enable switch port=port flow=pause

Parameter
port	Specifies the port where you want to activate flow
	control. You can specify more than one port at a time.
	You can specify the ports individually (for example,
	5,7,22), as a range (for example, 18-23), or both (for
	example, 1,5,14-22).
Description

This command activates flow control on a port. Flow control only applies to ports operating in full duplex mode. When flow control is activated, a port sends out a PAUSE packet whenever it wants the end node to stop sending packets.

This command performs the same function as the FLOWCONTROL option in the SET SWITCH PORT command.

Example

This command activates flow control on port 5:

enable switch port=5 flow=pause
