Port Status and Configuration

Viewing Port Status and Configuring Port Parameters

To disable flow control on some ports, while leaving it enabled on other ports, just disable it on the individual ports you want to exclude.

Syntax: [ no ]interface < port-list> flow-control

Enables or disables flow control packets on the port. The “no” form of the command disables flow control on the individual ports. (Default: Disabled.)

For example, suppose that:

1.You want to enable flow control on ports A1-A6.

2.Later, you decide to disable flow control on ports A5 and A6.

3.As a final step, you want to disable flow control on all ports.

Assuming that flow control is currently disabled on the switch, you would use these commands:

Enables per-port flow control for ports A1 - A6.
