Chapter 3 Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces

Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces

 

Command

Purpose

Step 3

 

 

switch(config-if)#switchport rate-mode

Reserves dedicated bandwidth for the

 

dedicated

interface.

 

 

Note If you cannot reserve dedicated

 

 

bandwidth on an interface, you might

 

 

have exceeded the port group

 

 

maximum bandwidth. Use the show

 

 

port-resources command to

 

 

determine what resources are already

 

 

allocated.

 

 

 

 

switch(config-if)#switchport rate-mode shared

Reserves shared (default) bandwidth for the

 

 

interface.

 

 

 

 

switch(config-if)#no switchport rate-mode

Reverts to the default state (shared).

 

 

 

Displaying the Rate Mode Configuration for Interfaces

Use show port-resources module command to verify the rate mode configuration for interfaces on a 48-port or 24-port 4-Gbps, or any 8-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module.

This example shows the port rate mode configuration for interfaces on a 4-Gbps module:

switch# show port-resources module 9 Module 9

Available dedicated buffers are 5400
