•"flowcontrol command" (page 240)

•"no flowcontrol command" (page 241)

•"default flowcontrol command" (page 242)

The flowcontrol command is used only on Gigabit Ethernet ports and controls the traffic rates during congestion. The syntax for the flowcontrol command is:

flowcontrol [port <portlist>] {asymmetricsymmetricautodisable}

The flowcontrol command is executed in the Interface Configuration command mode.
