Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces
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
Port-Group 1
Total bandwidth is 12.8 Gbps
Total shared bandwidth is 12.8 Gbps
Allocated dedicated bandwidth is 0.0 Gbps

Interfaces in the Port-Group B2B Credit Bandwidth Rate Mode
Buffers (Gbps)

fc9/1 16 4.0 shared
fc9/2 16 4.0 shared
fc9/3 16 4.0 shared
fc9/4 16 4.0 shared
fc9/5 16 4.0 shared
fc9/6 16 4.0 shared
Port-Group 2
Total bandwidth is 12.8 Gbps
Total shared bandwidth is 12.8 Gbps
Allocated dedicated bandwidth is 0.0 Gbps
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Interfaces in the Port-Group B2B Credit Bandwidth Rate Mode
Buffers (Gbps)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
fc9/7 16 4.0 shared
fc9/8 16 4.0 shared
fc9/9 16 4.0 shared
fc9/10 16 4.0 shared
fc9/11 16 4.0 shared
fc9/12 16 4.0 shared
Port-Group 3
Total bandwidth is 12.8 Gbps
Step 3 switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode
dedicated
Reserves dedicated bandwidth for the
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).
