Hi all,
Hopefully a simple question.
I am unable to set flow control to ON on our Nexus 7K - by default it is set to OFF:
Internal(config-if)# sh int e3/9
Ethernet3/9 is up
admin state is up, Dedicated Interface
Belongs to Po10
Hardware: 1000/10000 Ethernet, address: 8478.ac1a.e08c (bia 8478.ac1a.e08c)
Description: nidcaixvio01 Eth0 (IBM AIX UCS2)
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation ARPA, medium is broadcast
Port mode is trunk
full-duplex, 10 Gb/s, media type is 10G
Beacon is turned off
Auto-Negotiation is turned on
Input flow-control is off, output flow-control is off
Internal(config-if)# flowcontrol ?
^
% Invalid command at '^' marker.
However, the config guide and cmd ref clearly show these commands:
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Make sure that the remote port has the corresponding setting for the flow control that you need. If you
want the local port to send flow-control pause frames, make sure that the remote port has a receive
parameter set to on or desired. If you want the local port to receive flow-control frames, make sure that
the remote port has a send parameter set to on or desired. If you do not want to use flow control, you can
set the remote port’s send and receive parameters to off.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. interface ethernet slot/port
3. flowcontrol {send | receive} {desired | on | off}
4. (Optional) show interface ethernet slot/port
5. (Optional) show interface flowcontrol
6. exit
7. (Optional) copy running-config startup-config
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
