priority-flow-control enable

Enables priority flow control (PFC) globally.

Syntax

priority-flow-control enable

no priority-flow-control enable

Command Default

PFC is globally disabled.

Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The no form of this restores the default flow-control settings.

To enable global PFC, symmetrical-flow-control must be disabled.

You must enable PFC globally before you configure it for priority groups.

Priority flow control and 802.3x flow control are mutually exclusive; therefore, configuring the priority-
flow-control enable
command disables 802.3x in both transmit and receive directions.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable PFC.

Device(config)# priority-flow-control enable
