Flow control anabled only for Rx

  • Follow


Hi all,

I suspect "flow control" source of some problems btw somes windows client
and solaris Server.
I disabled "flow control" in windows client, in the network card.

In solaris server, i have this :

# ndd -get /dev/bge1 link_tx_pause
0
#
# ndd -get /dev/bge1 link_rx_pause
1

So, Flow Control is enabled only for receive data. Do you think that this
configuration can be a part of the problems that i have btw windows client
and solaris server ?

Thanks a lot

Best Regards
Rahan

I don't know if that will help.  AFAIK, you enable ethernet flow
control b/t the interface and the switch, not the 2 end hosts.

ok.

i am using Switch Cisco 2950 and the interfaces FastEthernet used to connect
the clients and the servers seem not support Flow-Control.

Thanks a lot
