Setting Ethernet Parameters for Non-Combo Ports Configuring Ethernet Ports

• rx—Allow the interface to honor PAUSE frames from peer switches and temporarily stop sending traf-
fic to the peer. Do not transmit PAUSE frames to peer switches.
• tx-and-rx—Transmit and honor PAUSE frames when traffic congestion occurs between peer switches.
For example, the following command configures ports 1/1 through 1/10 to transmit and honor PAUSE
frames:
-> interfaces 1/1-10 pause tx-and-rx
To disable flow control for one or more ports, specify the disable parameter with the interfaces pause
command. For example:
-> interfaces 1/10 pause disable
If the interfaces pause command is used to configure E2E flow control on a 48-port standalone
OmniSwitch 6400 or OmniSwitch 6850, then configuring a flow control VLAN is also required. For
example, the following command configures VLAN 700 as a flow control VLAN:
-> interfaces e2e-flow-vlan 700
Note that the VLAN specified with the above command must already exist in the switch configuration. In
addition, flow control VLANs are not configurable using standard VLAN management commands.
There is only one flow control VLAN configured per switch. To remove this type of VLAN, use the no
form of the interfaces e2e-flow-vlan command. Note that specifying a VLAN ID is not necessary. For
example, the following command removes the flow control VLAN from the switch configuration:
-> interfaced no e2e-flow-vlan
For more information about the interfaces pause and interfaces e2e-flow-vlan command syntax, see the
“Ethernet Port Commands” chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
