Flow Control (External Port)

In this user interface, you can enable and disable the auto-negotiation or non-auto-negotiation flow control mode for an external port.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, select the board and choose Configuration > Ethernet Interface Management > Ethernet Interface from the Function Tree. Click the External Port tab and click the Flow Control tab.

Note

The working mode of a port directly affect the flow control mode of the port. For example, if the working mode is auto-negotiation, you can only choose the auto-negotiation flow control mode. If the working mode is non-auto-negotiation mode, you can only choose the non-auto-negotiation flow control mode.
