Configuring Flow Control

By default, the routing platform imposes flow control to regulate the amount of traffic sent out on a Fast Ethernet, Tri-Rate Ethernet copper, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. Flow control is not supported on the 4-port Fast Ethernet PIC. This is useful if the remote side of the connection is a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet switch.

You can disable flow control if you want the routing platform to permit unrestricted traffic. To disable flow control, include the no-flow-control statement:



no-flow-control;

To explicitly reinstate flow control, include the flow-control statement:




flow-control;

You can include these statements at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit interfaces interface-name aggregated-ether-options]
[edit interfaces interface-name fastether-options]
[edit interfaces interface-name gigether-options]
