control.

Syntax

[no] flowcontrol

Default Setting

Disabled

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet - Ports 17-19, Port Channel)

Command Usage

• 1000BASE-T does not support forced mode. Auto-negotiation

should always be used to establish a connection over any
1000BASE-T port or trunk.

• Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end

stations or segments connected directly to the switch when its buffers
fill. When enabled, back pressure is used for half-duplex operation and
IEEE 802.3-2002 (formally IEEE 802.3x) for full-duplex operation.
