• Half duplex cannot be configured when the flow control configuration is on (default is rx on tx on). The
following error is returned:

NOTE: The flow control must be off (rx off tx off) before configuring the half duplex.
•
Speeds less than one Gig cannot be configured when the asymmetric flow control configuration is on. The
following error is returned:

NOTE: If you use the disable rx flow control command, Dell Networking recommends
rebooting the system.
