Configuring Flow Control
This setting allows you to configure the type of flow control used by the adapter.
Note: Ethernet flow control cannot be changed when priority flow control is enabled
on the switch ports and enabled in the firmware (through the OneCommand
Manager application).
To configure flow control:
1. From the Port Configuration screen, use the left or right arrow keys to select one of
the following settings for the Flow Control setting.

TX & RX

TX (Send Pause on RX Overflow)

RX (Throttle TX on Pause Received)

Disabled
2. Press to save.
Configuring the PXE VLAN ID and Priority
To configure a PXE VLAN ID and set the priority level:
1. On the Port Configuration screen, use the left or right arrow keys to enable the PXE
LAN setting.
2. For the PXE VLAN ID, use the left or right arrow keys to enter a number from
1-4094.
3. For the PXE VLAN Priority level, use the left or right arrow keys to enter a number
from 0-7. This unique value assigns a priority to outbound packets containing a
specified VLAN ID. Valid values range from 0-7, with 0 the highest priority level.
4. Press to save.
After you exit the PXESelect utility, the system will reboot for the configuration to take
effect.
Physically Identifying the Port
To physically determine which port you are configuring by causing the link and
activity LEDs of that port to blink:
1. On the Port Configuration screen, press .
2. The LEDs on your controller begin blinking. The selected port’s LED status
indicators blink on your controller for approximately 15 seconds.
Note: Not all controllers have LEDs that are visible externally. If you are using an
add-in card in a blade server environment, the port identification or beaconing
capability does not work.
