Fabric OS Command Reference 1051

53-1003131-01

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 or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in

place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for

details.

OPERANDS None

EXAMPLES To disable flow control:

switch:admin> shellflowcontroldisable
