I'm sure flow control was explained somewhere but search did not answer my question. Yes Chris, I did use the search function, and the search function did not help me....(before you ask)

What does Both/None/Obey/Generate mean? And how should you use it?

Flow Control is defined by the IEEE 802.3x standard

Since it is an IEEE standard it functions the same on all devices the same way so any switches manual or white paper would describe how it works.

I did a Google search for: "ethernet flow control obey"
Ironically Google found a post from our Forum and a lot of other documentation on Flow Control settings.

I was able to find a lots of posts on our Forum with our Search and Advanced Search but funny thing was Google found the best post I think on our forums which I listed above.

Guess it's all in what you search for. But that post is clear as mud....I need an English version.
