I have a Cisco 4006 switch with a WS-X4448-GB-RJ45 where two port's are exhibiting extremely high numbers of TxPause counters. Attached to these two ports Win 2K servers.

show port flowcontrol below:

AKmdrBAKSW1> (enable) sh port flowcontrol 4/5

Port Send FlowControl Receive FlowControl RxPause TxPause Unsupported

admin oper admin oper opcodes

----- -------- -------- --------- --------- ---------- ---------- -----------

4/5 on on desired on 0 1629850 0

Question: Is this an unusual situation where it would appear that flowcontrol is being initiated on a regular basis ... average port utilisation of the gig interface is 10%?

Any possible options to improve performance ?
