Syntax
flowcontrol rx {off | on} tx {off | on} [pause-threshold {1-12480}]
[resume-offset {1-12480}]
Parameters
rx on Enter the keywords rx on to process the received flow control frames on this
port.
rx off Enter the keywords rx off to ignore the received flow control frames on this
port.
tx on Enter the keywords tx on to send control frames from the port to the connected
device when a higher rate of traffic is received.
tx off Enter the keywords tx off so that flow control frames are not sent from this
port to the connected device when a higher rate of traffic is received.
pause-threshold Enter the keyword pause-threshold to configure the buffer threshold (in
Kilobytes) at which the interface starts transmitting pause frames for link-level
flow control. Valid values are 1 to 12480KB. The default is 60KB.
resume-offset Enter the keyword resume-offset to configure the buffer threshold (in
Kilobytes) at which the interface resumes transmitting offset frames for link-level
flow control. Valid values are 1 to 12480KB. The default is 9KB.
Defaults An interface ignores flow-control frames received from other network devices (rx off) and does not
transmit pause frames (tx off).
