Usage guidelines

This command is not supported in VTY line view.

The device supports flow control in both the inbound and outbound directions:

• For flow control in the inbound direction, the local device listens to flow control information from the remote device.

• For flow control in the outbound direction, the local device sends flow control information to the remote device.

The flow control setting takes effect in both directions.

To communicate, two devices must be configured with the same flow control mode.

Examples
