hello Herman,

SP connected device is sending IEEE pause frames to your switch port in a hope to slow down your device sending rate.

the root cause is that they have flow control outbound enabled on their device.

if you have input flowcontrol disabled those frames are simply ignored if it is enabled each frame asks a 512 byte equivalent time of silence to your device

Hope to help

Hi Giuseppe

How do you disable the Flow control in a 1921 Gigabit interface?
