OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide

Configures whether or not the switch will transmit, honor, or transmit and accept flow control PAUSE 
frames on the specified combo port. PAUSE frames are used to temporarily pause the flow of traffic 
between two connected devices to help prevent packet loss when traffic congestion occurs between 
switches.

interfaces slot[/port[-port2]] hybrid {fiber | copper} pause {tx | rx | tx-and-rx | disable} 

Slot number you want to configure.

Port number of the interface you want to configure.

Last port number in a range of ports you want to configure.

Specifies that configuration changes will be made to the SFP port(s).

Specifies that changes will be made to the copper 10/100/1000 RJ-45 
port(s).

Transmits PAUSE frames to peer switches when traffic congestion 
occurs on the local interface. Does not honor PAUSE frames from peer 
switches.

Allows interface to honor PAUSE frames from peer switches and 
temporarily stop sending traffic to the peer. Does not transmit PAUSE 
frames to peer switches.

Transmits and honors PAUSE frames when traffic congestion occurs 
between peer switches.

Disables flow control on the interface.

OmniSwitch 6400, 6855

By default, flow control is disabled on all combo ports.

• Note that if the standalone switch is a 24-port unit, then only the interfaces pause command is 

required to enable end-to-end (E2E) flow control. However, if the switch is a 48-port unit, then a flow 
control VLAN, which is configured using the 

 command, is required in addi-

tion to enabling RX/TX pause flow control.

• Flow control is only supported on interfaces configured to run in full-duplex mode; half-duplex mode 

is not supported.
