Table 2 -17 describes guideline s f or different configu ratio ns o f the send a nd re ceive keywords.
Examples This example shows how to configure port 1 of module 5 to receive and process pause frames:
Console> (enable) 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)
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to configure port 1 of module 5 to receive and process pause frames if the
remote port is configured to send pause frames:
Console> (enable) set port flowcontrol receive 5/1 desired
Port 5/1 flow control receive administration status set to desired
(port will allow far end to send flowcontrol if far end supports it)
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to configure port 1 of module 5 to receive but NOT process pause frames on
port 1 of module 5:
Console> (enable) set port flowcontrol receive 5/1 off
Port 5/1 flow control receive administration status set to off
(port will not allow far end to send flowcontrol)
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to configure port 1 of module 5 to send pause frames:
Console> (enable) set port flowcontrol send 5/1 on
Port 5/1 flow control send administration status set to on
(port will send flowcontrol to far end)
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to configure port 1 of module 5 to send pause frames and yield predictable
results even if the remote port is set to receive off:

Port 5/1 flow control send administration status set to desired
