NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility
Manage Flow Control
Flow control works by pausing a port if the port becomes oversubscribed and dropping all
traffic for small bursts of time during the congestion condition. You can enable or disable
IEEE 802.3x flow control. By default, flow control is disabled.
To manage flow control:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch the ProSAFE Plus Utility using the desktop icon or tile.
The Switch Selection page displays a list of Web Managed (Plus) switches that it
discovers on the local network.
3. Select the switch.
If you do not see the switch, click the REFRESH button.
4. Click the APPLY button.
You are asked to enter the password for the switch.
5. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The switch’s default password is password.
The previous figure is an example. Your switch might provide more or less ports.
Note: To navigate to this page, select System > Status > Switch Status.
6. For each port that you want to configure, in the Flow Control menu, select Enable or
Disable.
