i saw this recently for one of our media server's network connection:

GigabitEthernet3/44 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Hardware is C6k 1000Mb 802.3
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec, 
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
  Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set
  Keepalive set (10 sec)
  Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s
  input flow-control is off, output flow-control is on 
  Clock mode is auto
  ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00
  Last input never, output 00:00:49, output hang never
  Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
  Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
  Queueing strategy: fifo
  Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)
  5 minute input rate 117000 bits/sec, 18 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 29000 bits/sec, 18 packets/sec
     9520366 packets input, 1496344319 bytes, 0 no buffer
     Received 58221 broadcasts (51188 multicasts)
     0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
     0 watchdog, 0 multicast, 0 pause input
     0 input packets with dribble condition detected
     18792780 packets output, 17420651707 bytes, 0 underruns

     0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred
     0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier, 0 PAUSE output
     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out


should input flow-control be turned on?  i know about the rx/tx config on the 
nics, is this the same as that?  is there anything else in here that i should 
be concerned about?  As you can see, i'm not a network person.

thanks
