ethtool properties : "Advertised pause frame use: No "

Latest response

Hi,

When we apply " ethtool ethx" command , we get some properties related to that particular NIC.

I wanted to know what is the "Advertised pause frame use: No "
what are its functions ?
Does it has any effect when there is heavy network traffic ?
what its default value ? yes or no

How we can change this parameter ?

Hello

It is for flow control, to control congestion. The ethtool manual page has some command examples. For example, to list the parameters:

ethtool -a <device>

I think you cannot change those values when you have autoneg on.

The Deployment Guide has some command options Ethtool
