zyPortFlowControlState
Module: ZYXEL-PORT-MIB
OID (symbolic): ZYXEL-PORT-MIB::zyPortFlowControlState
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.890.1.15.3.61.1.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: EnabledStatus
Access: read-write
Description: Enable/Disable the flow control on this port. A concentration of traffic on a port decreases port bandwidth and overflows buffer memory causing packet discards and frame losses. Flow control is used to regulate transmission of signals to match the bandwidth of the receiving port.
What is zyPortFlowControlState?
This read-write setting enables or disables 802.3x-style flow control on the port. Flow control regulates the sending port's transmission rate to match the receiving port's available bandwidth, which prevents buffer overflows and dropped frames when traffic bursts overwhelm a link. For example, an admin might enable it on a switch port facing a busy file server to reduce packet loss during heavy transfer spikes.
