I will work on the nispor for query part and NetworkManager will do the applying support, once done, we will have it in nmstate. -- Gris Ge

Hi Greg, Thomas, I have opened a new feature request for addition support for pause settings via nmstate.

Reg. flow-control settings using NetworkManager
by Vishal Deep Ajmera 03 Nov '20

Hi, We are using NetworkManager in our deployments and want to enable flow-control using nmcli or NetworkConnection configuration files. Equivalent command using ethtool is: # ethtool -A <if-name> rx on tx on Can someone point me to configuration setting in NetworkManager? Unfortunately we cannot enable auto-negotiation for the port as it is of FIBRE type. Warm Regards, Vishal Ajmera
