SMC Networks SMC6824M manual Shutdown, Following example enables flow control on port

INTERFACE COMMANDS

•To force flow control on or off (with the flowcontrol or no flowcontrol command), use the no negotiation command to disable auto-negotiation on the selected interface.

•When using the negotiation command to enable auto-negotiation, the optimal settings will be determined by the capabilities command. To enable flow control under auto-negotiation, “flowcontrol” must be included in the capabilities list for any port

•Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub.

Example

The following example enables flow control on port 5.

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5

Console(config-if)#flowcontrol

Console(config-if)#no negotiation

Console(config-if)#
