manually specify the link attributes with the speed-duplex and
flowcontrol commands.

Example
The following example configures Ethernet port 5 capabilities to 100half,
100full and flow control.

Command Usage

• Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end

stations or segments connected directly to the switch when its buffers
fill. When enabled, back pressure is used for half-duplex operation and
IEEE 802.3x for full-duplex operation.
