Using Ethernet Pause Frames for Flow Control
Ethernet pause frames and threshold settings are supported on the Dell Networking OS.
Ethernet Pause Frames allow for a temporary stop in data transmission. A situation may arise where a sending device may transmit data
faster than a destination device can accept it. The destination sends a PAUSE frame back to the source, stopping the sender’s
transmission for a period of time.
An Ethernet interface starts to send pause frames to a sending device when the transmission rate of ingress trac exceeds the egress
port speed. The interface stops sending pause frames when the ingress rate falls to less than or equal to egress port speed.
The globally assigned 48-bit Multicast address 01-80-C2-00-00-01 is used to send and receive pause frames. To allow full-duplex ow
control, stations implementing the pause operation instruct the MAC to enable reception of frames with destination address equal to this
multicast address.
The PAUSE frame is dened by IEEE 802.3x and uses MAC Control frames to carry the PAUSE commands. Ethernet pause frames are
supported on full duplex only.
If a port is over-subscribed, Ethernet Pause Frame ow control does not ensure no-loss behavior.
Restriction: Ethernet Pause Frame ow control is not supported if PFC is enabled on an interface.

mode. flowcontrol rx [off | on] tx [off | on]| [monitor session-ID]
Where:
rx on: Processes the received ow control frames on this port.
rx off: Ignores the received ow control frames on this port.
tx on: Sends control frames from this port to the connected device when a higher rate of trac is received.
tx off: Flow control frames are not sent from this port to the connected device when a higher rate of trac is received.
monitor session-ID: Enables mirror ow control frames on this port.
Changes in the ow-control values may not be reected automatically in the show interface output. To display the change, apply the
new ow-control setting, shutdown the interface using the
shutdown command, enable the interface using the no shutdown
command, and use the show interface command to verify the changes.
