Supermicro L2/L3 Switches Configuration Guide
If a port experiences congestion and cannot receive any more traffic, it notifies other ports by sending a
pause frame to stop sending until the condition clears. Upon receipt of a pause frame, the sending
device stops sending any data packets to prevent any loss of data packets during the congestion period.
Follow the steps below to configure flow control.

interface-id is in slot/port format for all
physical interfaces.
To configure multiple interfaces, use
the “interface range …” command. To
provide a range use a hyphen (-)
between the start and end interface
numbers. E.g.: int range gi 0/1-10
To provide multiple interfaces or
ranges, separate with a comma (,).
E.g.: int range gi 0/1-10, gi 0/20
If multiple interfaces are provided, the
next step will perform the particular
