Buffer Credit Allocation
48-Port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Module BB_Credit Buffers
Table 22-11 lists the BB_credit buffer allocation for 48-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching modules.
The following considerations apply to BB_credit buffers on 48-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching
modules:
• BB_credit buffers for ISL connections can be configured from a minimum of 2 buffers to a
maximum of 250 buffers for dedicated rate mode or 16 buffers for shared rate mode.
• BB_credit buffers for Fx port mode connections can be configured. The minimum is 2 buffers and
the maximum of 250 buffers for dedicated rate mode or 16 buffers for shared rate mode.
• Performance buffers are not supported on this module.
Each port group on the 48-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module consists of 12 ports. The ports
in shared rate mode have bandwidth oversubscription of 2:1 by default. However, some configurations
of the shared ports in a port group can have maximum bandwidth oversubscription of 4:1 (considering
that each port group has 12.8-Gbps bandwidth).
The following example configurations are supported by the 48-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching
modules:
• Twelve ports with shared rate mode and 4-Gbps speed (4:1 oversubscription) (default)
• One port with dedicated rate mode and 4-Gbps speed plus
11 ports with shared rate mode and 4-Gbps speed (5:1 oversubscription)
• One port with dedicated rate mode and 4-Gbps speed plus
11 ports with shared rate mode and 2-Gbps speed (2.5:1 oversubscription)
• Two ports with dedicated rate mode and 2-Gbps speed plus
10 ports with shared rate mode and 4-Gbps speed (5:1 oversubscription)
• Two ports with dedicated rate mode and 2-Gbps speed plus
10 ports with shared rate mode and 2-Gbps speed (2.5:1 oversubscription)
• Twelve ports with dedicated rate mode and 1-Gbps speed
• Three ports with dedicated rate mode and 4-Gbps speed plus
four ports with shared rate mode and 1-Gbps speed plus
five ports put out-of-service (see Figure 22-8)
