Chapter 2 Avaya C460 CLI Commands

set port flowcontrol

User level: read-write, admin.

Use the set port flowcontrol command to set the send/receive mode for flow-control frames (IEEE 802.3x or proprietary) for a full duplex port. Each direction (send or receive) can be configured separately.

The syntax for this command is:

set port flowcontrol [direction] <module/port> [value]

direction	• receive – determines whether the port can receive
	administrative status from a remote device.
	Available only for Gigabit Ethernet modules with negotiation set to
	off.
	• send – determines whether the local port can send
	administrative status to a remote device.
	Available only for Gigabit Ethernet modules with negotiation set to
	off.
	• all – send and receive (symmetric flow control).
module	Number of the module.
port	Number of the port on the module.
value	• off – used with receive to turn off an attached device's ability
	to send flow-control packets to a local port. Used with send
	to turn off the local port's ability to send administrative
	status to a remote device.
	• on – used with receive to require that a local port receive
	administrative status from a remote device. Used with send,
	the local port sends administrative status to a remote device.
Example:

C460-1#set port flowcontrol receive 5/1 on

Port 5/1 flow control receive administration status set to on (port will require far end to send flowcontrol)

C460-1#set port flowcontrol send 5/1 off

Port 5/1 flow control send administration status set to off (port will send flowcontrol to far end)
