Fabric OS Command Reference 807

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
