Version Description
9.10(0.1) Introduced on the S4820T and S5000.
9.10(0.0) Introduced on the S3100 series.
Usage
Information
EEE is an IEEE 802.3 az standard that reduces power consumptions on Ethernet ports. When EEE is
enabled, transmission is stopped when there is no data to be transmitted and is resumed on arrival of new
packets. You can enable EEE only on ten Gigabit native or optional module copper ports.
Example To enable EEE:
DellEMC(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1)# eee
To disable EEE:
DellEMC(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1)# no eee
flowcontrol
Control how the system responds to and generates 802.3x pause flow control frames.
Syntax
flowcontrol {rx {off | on} tx {off | on} [negotiate | pause-threshold value
| resume-offset value] | [monitor session-ID]}
To return to the default, use the no form of this command.
Parameters
rx on Enter the keywords rx on to process the received flow control frames on this
port.
NOTE: Flow-control packets are mirrored only when flow-control rx is
enabled on an interface.
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 this 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 buffer threshold limit for generating PAUSE frames.
resume-offset Enter the offset value for generating PAUSE frames to resume traffic.
negotiate (Optional) Enter the keyword negotiate to enable the pause-negotiation with
the egress port of the peer device. If the negotiate command is not used,
pause-negotiation is disabled. 40-gigabit Ethernet interfaces do not support pause-
negotiation
monitor Enter the keyword monitor then the session-ID to enable mirror flow control
frames on the interface. The range is from 0 to 65535.
Defaults rx on tx off
