/config/system/interface/<intf_name>/rxFlowControl

Ethernet flow control receive operation.

Use

Generally, we recommend leaving flow control off for both receive and send, unless you have a specific reason to turn it on.

Turning on flowcontrol receive tells the port to honor the pause frame from a sending interface. Leaving flow control off tells the interface to ignore the pause frame from the sending interface.

Note: The system supports flow control only on ix interfaces. Flow control is off by default on ix interface types. For other interfaces, the default varies based on the interface type.

Caution: Turning on flowcontrol receive could stop all traffic on the interface.

For a port channel:

  • Any flow control setting configured on an interface remains in effect when you add the interface to a port channel.
  • You cannot configure flow control on a port channel.
