NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Usage Guidelines With autonegotiation enabled, the NETGEAR 8800 series switches advertise the ability to support pause frames. This includes receiving and reacting to (stopping transmission) pause frames. Use this command to disable the processing of IEEE 802.3x pause flow control messages received from the remote partner. Disabling rx-pause processing avoids dropping packets in the switch and allows for better overall network performance in some scenarios where protocols such as TCP handle the retransmission of dropped packets by the remote partner. To disable RX flow-control, TX flow-control must first be disabled. Refer to the disable flow-control tx-pause ports command. If you attempt to disable RX flow-control with TX flow-control enabled, an error message is displayed. Example The following command disables the rx flow-control feature on ports 5 through 7 on the NETGEAR 8800 switch: disable flow-control rx-pause ports 5-7 disable flow-control tx-pause ports disable flow-control tx-pause ports [ | all] Description Disables the transmission of pause frames. Syntax Description port_list Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Default Disabled Usage Guidelines Use this command to stop the transmission of flow control pause frames and revert to the default. Example The following command disables the tx flow-control feature on ports 5 through 7 on a NETGEAR 8800: disable flow-control tx-pause ports 5-7 Chapter 5.
