Flow Control Enables or disables flow control on the ports. Flow control is used for 9145ELBs
that have a speed mismatch between the user port and the network port and are attached to
equipment that can buffer overflow traffic. If Flow Control is enabled, the 9145ELB will begin to
transmit PAUSE frames when its buffers are half full. Press the Space bar to select User Ports
Enabled, Net Ports Enabled, All Ports Enabled, or Disabled.
Maximum Frame Size Sets the maximum allowable Ethernet Frame size that the 9145ELB will
forward for all ports. Frames exceeding the Maximum Frame Size will be counted as Oversize
Packets and will be discarded. Frames destined for the 9145ELB Manager are exempt from the
limit. Enter a Maximum Frame Size between 1518 and 10000. Note that an S-tag is added to
frames ingress to the user port, so the maximum size of frames ingress to the user port is 9996
since anything over 10000 is not transmitted.
