By default Cisco sets flow control to enable on the send side only. To enable flowcontrol in both directions as desired:
set port flowcontrol 2/1-12 send desired set port flowcontrol 2/1-12 receive desired
If you are going to make these kinds of changes to other switches in your network, do the far ends first so you don't get dropped.

Sorry, are you refering to the desired and off, or are you
saying that it
should be enabled?
I am referring to the combination:
send desired receive off

Hi All
We are standardized with Sun and Cisco equipment. All
equipment on our
Database Vlans are using Gig Ethernet. Flow control on our
sun servers
are
set to on. However, on our Cisco Switches, the settings are
as follows.
set port flowcontrol 2/1-12 send desired
set port flowcontrol 2/1-12 receive off
I am not a cisco engineer, but would like to know if this is
correct. I
believe it should be both on.
This is the configuration that was necessary on our site (and the same with IOS-based switches). It was also recommended by our local NetApp people.
I guess this makes it as 'correct' as possible.
