● Do not enable tx pause when buffer carving is enabled. For information and assistance, consult Dell
Networking TAC.
● Asymmetric flow control (rx on tx off, or rx off tx on) setting for the interface port less
than 100 Mb/s speed is not permitted. The following error is returned:
Can’t configure Asymmetric flowcontrol when speed <1G, config ignored
● The only configuration applicable to half duplex ports is rx off tx off. The following error is
returned:
Can’t configure flowcontrol when half duplex is configure, config ignored
● Half duplex cannot be configured when the flow control configuration is on (default is rx on tx
on). The following error is returned:
Can’t configure half duplex when flowcontrol is on, config ignored
NOTE: The flow control must be off (rx off tx off) before configuring the half duplex.
NOTE: If you use the disable rx flow control command, Dell Networking recommends
rebooting the system.
NOTE: The flow control feature is not supported on the Port Extender Gigabit Ethernet (peGigE)
interface.
