 These interfaces are bonded, so I list both.

# ethtool -a p1p1
Pause parameters for p1p1:
Autonegotiate:  on
RX:             on
TX:             on

# ethtool -a p1p2
Pause parameters for p1p2:
Autonegotiate:  on
RX:             on
TX:             on

 Exactly which part of the output are you looking for - this?

# ethtool -S p1p1 |grep flow_c
     tx_flow_control_xon: 12
     rx_flow_control_xon: 6585
     tx_flow_control_xoff: 12
     rx_flow_control_xoff: 6585
# ethtool -S p1p2 |grep flow_c
     tx_flow_control_xon: 114
     rx_flow_control_xon: 1641564
     tx_flow_control_xoff: 114
     rx_flow_control_xoff: 1667785

 The "Down" messages are two weeks old (they are also in syslog) and created
 when I made the change on the switch.

ixgbe 0000:05:00.1: PCI-Express bandwidth available for this card is not 
sufficient for optimal performance.
ixgbe 0000:05:00.1: For optimal performance a x8 PCI-Express slot is required.
ixgbe 0000:05:00.1: Intel(R) 10 Gigabit Network Connection
ixgbe 0000:05:00.0: p1p1: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX

ixgbe 0000:05:00.1: p1p2: NIC Link is Down
ixgbe 0000:05:00.0: p1p1: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX
ixgbe 0000:05:00.1: p1p2: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX

 Thanks.
