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
