Flow Control
IEEE 802.3x flow control works by pausing a port when the port becomes oversubscribed
and dropping all traffic for small bursts of time during the congestion condition. This can lead
to high-priority and/or network control traffic loss. When IEEE 802.3x flow control is enabled,
lower speed switches can communicate with higher speed switches by requesting that the
higher speed switch refrains from sending packets. Transmissions are temporarily halted to
prevent buffer overflows.
To display the Flow Control page, click Switchin
g Ports, and then click the Flow Control
link.
