shellFlowControlEnable

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

Synopsis shellflowcontrolenable

Description Use this command to enable XON/XOFF flow control to the shell task. 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 saves in the configuration database; therefore, persistent across reboots and power cycles.

On dual control processor (CP) systems, a reboot on the standby CP is required for this command to take

effect. No action is required on the active CP.

aution

If flow control is enabled and if the console output is suspended for an extended period of time, the switch

might reboot. It is recommended to disable the flow control, using shellFlowControlDisable.

ote

Operands none
