disable-flow-control
Ethernet flow control is a mechanism for temporarily stopping the
transmission of data on Ethernet family computer networks. The goal of
this mechanism is to ensure zero packet loss in the presence of network
congestion.
The first flow control mechanism, the pause frame, was defined by the IEEE
802.3x standard.
A sending station (computer or network switch) may be transmitting data
faster than the other end of the link can accept it. Using flow control,
the receiving station can signal the sender requesting suspension of
transmissions until the receiver catches up.
Use this command to disable the generation of Ethernet flow control (pause
frames).
Example:
.. code-block:: none
set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} disable-flow-control
