Hi. First post as I had to create a new account.
I want to make sure that my links don't have Flow control enabled but I am unable to understand the UI. I have searched the docs and the forum but failed to find an answer. I am on SwOS 2.18 on a CSS 326-24G-2S+
We have two columns on the Link tab. The header says "Flow Control Tx/Rx". What I don't understand how to read is that the up links say "on" on the flow control, and "off" for those links down.
If I tick either column for an up link and apply, it does not change to "off", so I don't know how to use them.
How do I ensure Flow control is disabled for an up link please?
My understanding is that if a box is checked, the associated (TX on the left, RX on the right) control is On. The text field is a bit vague, and I think more indicates port capability - one of my SFP+ ports shows "tx only".
For what it's worth, I run the default of TX on, RX off on everything . . .
Thanks for that.
So unticked = off. Ticked = on. Got it.
I have no problem to solve but reading some other related stuff I came across the suggestion to leave flow control off on pretty much any links unless they are like switch to switch or switch to router or router to router. In between routing or switching devices pretty much, and to have a reason for it. Otherwise to default all to off. Hence the question.
Thanks again.
