Usage Guidelines
On a modular switch,

<portlist>
can be one or more port numbers. For a detailed explanation of port specification, see
“Modular Switch
Numerical Ranges” or “Stand-alone Switch Numerical Ranges” in Chapter 1.
The type of ports enabled for autonegotiation are 802.3u for 10/100 Mbps ports or 802.3z for Gigabit
Ethernet ports.
Flow control is supported on Gigabit Ethernet ports only. It is enabled or disabled as part of
autonegotiation. If autonegotiation is set to off, flow control is disabled. When autonegotiation is turned
on, flow control is enabled.
