Description
Use the
flow-control
command to enable flow control on the current Ethernet port.
Use the
undo flow-control
command to disable flow control on the port.
Suppose flow control is enabled on both the local and peer switches. When congestion
occurs on the local switch,
the local switch sends a message to notify the peer switch of stopping sending packets
to itself or reducing the sending rate temporarily,
the peer switch will stop sending packets to the local switch or reduce the sending rate
temporarily when it receives the message; and vice versa. By this way, packet loss is
avoided and the network service operates normally.
By default, flow control is disabled on a port.
Example
# Enable flow control on the Ethernet1/0/1 port.
