Hi all,

Can someone please tell me how I turn off flow control on a gigabitethernet interface in a 2851 series router. Software is Version 12.4(3d).

The output of show int gi0/0 shows that output flow-control. See below output:

Thanks for any help!

in interface configuration mode should turn flow control off. I am wondering as it should be disabled by default, can you check the interface configuration?

HTH, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I appreciate the response, however I don't get an option of flowcontrol on the interface :(

here is the output..

2851-rtr(config)#int gi0/0

2851-rtr(config-if)#no flowcontrol

^

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help, this problem is proving difficult to overcome.

Hello Brad,

I've verified I have a similar condition on GE ports of C7200VXRs with NPE-G2 and 12.4(20)T but I don't see any issue in my network.

Also from the sh interface you provided flow control is based on IEEE pause frames but your pause frames counters are 0 input and output.

It looks like flowcontrol never took place

What problem do you think is related to flowcontrol in your scenario ?

Hope to help

Giuseppe
