Enabling flow control
If you use a Gigabit Ethernet MDA with the BPS 2000, you control traffic on this
port using the
flowcontrol command. This section covers the following
commands:
• “flowcontrol command,” next
• “no flowcontrol command” on page 110
• “default flowcontrol command” on page 110
flowcontrol command
The flowcontrol command is used only on Gigabit Ethernet ports and controls
the traffic rates during congestion. The syntax for the
flowcontrol command is:
flowcontrol [port <portlist>]
{asymmetric|symmetric|auto|disable}
The flowcontrol command is in the config-if mode.
Table 51 describes the parameters and variables for the
flowcontrol command.

Parameters and
variables
Description
port <portlist> Specifies the port numbers to configure for flow control.
Note: If you omit this parameter, the system uses the port
number you specified in the
interface command.
asymmetric|symmetric|
auto|disable
Sets the mode for flow control:
• asymmetric—enables the local port to perform flow control
on the remote port
• symmetric—enables the local port to perform flow control
• auto—sets the port to automatically determine the flow
control mode (default)
• disable—disables flow control on the port
