[n

ntrol can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations or

operation and IEEE 802.3x for full-duplex

operation.
• To force flow control on or off (with the flowcontrol or no flowcontrol
command), use the no negotiation command to disable auto-negotiation on
the selected interface.
• When using the negotiation command to enable auto-negotiation, the optimal
settings will be determined by the capabilities command. To enable flow
control under auto-negotiation, “flowcontrol” must be included in the capabilities
list for any port
• Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually
required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may
degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub.

Example
The following example enables flow control on port 5.
