To enable flow control under auto-negotiation, “flowcontrol” must
be included in the capabilities list for any port
• Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is
actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure
jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment
attached to the hub.
Example
The following example enables flow control on port 5.
