Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 1013

53-1004112-02

shellFlowControlDisable

Disables XON/XOFF flow control on the console serial port.

Synopsis shellflowcontroldisable

Description Use this command to disable XON/XOFF flow control on the console serial port. Flow control is disabled by

default.

Because this command changes the flow control on the console serial port, it must be executed from a session

that is logged in from the console serial port. This command cannot run from a Telnet session.

This setting is saved in the configuration database; therefore, it is persistent across reboots and power cycles.

Notes On dual-CP systems, a reboot on the standby CP is required for this command to take effect. No action is required

on the active CP.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric

OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details.

Operands None

Examples To disable flow control:

switch:admin> shellflowcontroldisable
