Displaying flow-control status

The show interface command with the appropriate parameters displays configuration, operation, and negotiation status where applicable.

For example, on a FastIron Stackable device, issuing the command for 10/100/1000M port 1/1/21 displays the following output.

device# show interfaces ethernet 1/1/21

GigabitEthernet1/1/21 is up, line protocol is up
Port up for 30 minutes 20 seconds

Note: The port up/down time is required only for physical ports and not for loopback/ve/ tunnel ports.
  • If flow control negotiation is enabled (and a neighbor advertises "Pause-Not Capable"), the display shows:
Flow Control is config enabled, oper disabled, negotiation enabled
  • If flow control negotiation is enabled (and a neighbor advertises "Pause-Capable"), the display shows:
Flow Control is config enabled, oper enabled, negotiation enabled
  • If flow control is enabled, and flow control negotiation is disabled, the display shows:
Flow Control is config enabled, oper enabled, negotiation disabled
  • If flow control is disabled, the display shows:
Flow control is config disabled, oper disabled
