Examples
To specify that port 6/5 receives administrative status from a remote device:
Gxxx-001# set port flowcontrol receive 6/5 on
Port 6/5 flow control receive administration status set to on
(port will require far end to send flowcontrol)
To specify that port 6/5 cannot send administrative status to a remote device:
Gxxx-001# set port flowcontrol send 6/5 off
Port 6/5 flow control send administration status set to off
(port will send flowcontrol to far end)
