Chapter 22 Configuring Generation 2 and Generation 3 Switching Modules
Port Groups and Port Rate Modes
Dedicated Rate Mode
When port rate mode is configured as dedicated, a port is allocated required fabric bandwidth and related
resources to sustain line rate traffic at the maximum operating speed configured for the port. In this
mode, ports do not use local buffering and all receive buffers are allocated from a global buffer pool (see
the “Buffer Pools” section on page 22-10).
Table 22-4 shows the bandwidth provided by the various port speed configurations on the 8-Gbps Fibre
Channel switching modules.

1. Shared rate mode is supported on Fx ports only and no ISLs.
2. All ports in a 48-port 4-Gbps switching module can operate in dedicated rate mode with a 1-Gbps operating speed. However,
if you configure one or more ports to operate in 2-Gbps or 4-Gbps dedicated rate mode, some of the other ports in the port
group would have to operate in shared mode.
3. All ports in a 24-port 4-Gbps switching module can operate in dedicated rate mode with a 2-Gbps operating speed. However,
if you configure one or more ports to operate in 4-Gbps dedicated rate mode, some of the other ports in the port group would
have to operate in shared mode
