To configure the rate mode (dedicated or shared) on an interface on a 48-port or 24-port 4-Gbps Fibre
Channel switching module, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc 1/1
switch(config-if)#
Step 3
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode
dedicated
switch(config-if)# switchport rate-mode shared
switch(config-if)# no switchport rate-mode
Changing port speed and rate mode disrupts traffic on the port.
Caution
Use show port-resources module command to verify the rate mode configuration for interfaces on a
48-port or 24-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module.

Configuring Generation 2 Module Interface Shared Resources
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Selects the interface and enters interface
configuration submode.
Reserves dedicated bandwidth for the
interface.
If you cannot reserve dedicated
Note
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.
Reserves shared (default) bandwidth for the
interface.
Reverts to the default state (shared).
