Worked like a charm...this morning on the: Cisco switch, enable flowcontrol flowcontrol send on flowcontrol receive on
Filer, enable flowcontrol ifconfig int_name flowcontrol full update ./etc/rc files ifstat now reports full flowcontrol on the GigE interface.
There were recommendations that the Cisco port should be set first and then the filer NIC.
Thanks, George

Hi guys, I would like to change/set one of the NICs on a FAS3040 to enable flow control after my Network Operations guys turn-on flow control on their switch port.
Can I just "filer> ifconfig e0a flowcontrol full" while the filer is serving data or do I need to 'down/up' the interface ?
The protocols on the filer is all nfs and some iSCSI.
Thanks, George
