Information About Flow Control

Flow control is enabled by default on the switch.

Flow control provides shim layers between WCM and Cisco IOS for a reliable IPC. Every component in WCM has a dedicated channel. Few of the components in WCM have leveraged flow control in that. There is no configuration of flow control from CLI. You can monitor the flow control for any channel.

Monitoring Flow Control

This section describes the new commands for flow control.

The following commands can be used to monitor flow control on the switch.
