Manage Flow Control
Flow control works by pausing a port if the port becomes oversubscribed and dropping all
traffic for small bursts of time during the congestion condition. You can enable or disable
IEEE 802.3x flow control. By default, flow control is disabled.
Use Browser-Based Access to Manage Flow Control
To manage flow control:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch Using a Web
Browser on page 7.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The switch’s default password is password.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > Port Status.
The previous figure is an example. Your switch might provide more or less ports.
6. Select one or more ports.
7. In the Flow Control menu, select Enable or Disable.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
