10GigEthr-02 (iexgbe) B.11.31.1306 Ethernet Driver Release Notes

WARNING: For flex10 interface, the Tx flow control will be always on and the Rx flow control will be always

off

lan3 current values:

New Transmit Flow Control = Off

NOTE: The warning message incorrectly displays the Tx flow control state as Off when it

should be On. This is a known issue (see “Known problems and limitations” (page 11)).

• Attempting to turn on Rx flow control for a Flex-10 interface on which the MTU size is greater

than 1500 (enabling Jumbo Frames) brings up the warning message shown in the following

example. The Rx flow control cannot be turned on in this instance, so the specified value (on)

is invalid; Rx flow control remains turned off.

server2#nwmgr -s -A rx_fctrl=on -c lan3

WARNING: For flex10 interface, the Rx flow control is always on

For non-flex10 interface, if Jumbo MTU is set, the rx flow control cannot be turned on

lan3 current values:

New Receive Flow Control = ERROR: Invalid value
