1.6.2 Configuring basic attributes for interfaces
The interconnected devices cannot communicate normally if their interface attributes (such as
MTU, duplex mode, and speed) are inconsistent, and then you have to adjust the interface
attribute to make the devices at both ends match each other.
Configure the basic attributes for interface of the A10E/A28E.
Step
Configuration
Description
1
Alpha-A28E#config
Enter global configuration mode.
2
Alpha-
A28E(config)#inte
rface port port-
id
Enter physical layer interface configuration mode.
3
Alpha-
A28E(config-
port)#flowcontrol
{ off | on }
Enable/Disable flow control of 802.3x packets on the
interface.
1.6.3 Configuring flow control on interfaces
IEEE802.3x is flow control of full-duplex Ethernet data layer. Then the client sends request to
the server; the client sends PAUSE frame to server if there is system or network jam, so it
delays data transmission from server to client.
Configure flow control for the A10E/A28E as below.
