previously-offered port speeds.

Error messages

When the show interface PORT-LIST smartrate command is run on a non-Smart Rate port, the

command will fail with an error message similar to the following: Port A1: This command is only

applicable to Smart Rate ports.

When the show interface PORT-LIST smartrate command is run on a Smart Rate port, but is unable to

retrieve all results the command will fail with an error message similar to the following: Port A1: This

command did not complete successfully. Please try again.

For 5Gbps ports, when the customer has Rate-Limiting or Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidths configured, the

granularity of percentage-based rates for the 5Gbps speed is in steps of 2%. For example a 1% rate-limit for a

5Gbps port will function as a 2% limit, a 5% limit will function as a 6% limit. The Guaranteed Minimum Bandwith

profiles will show the same behavior. On an 8-queue system, the actual default servicing profile will be 2% 4%

30% 10% 10% 10% 16% 20%. The CLI and SNMP values for these ports will show what the customer

configured, but the actual hardware results will be in steps of 2%.

This limitation only applies to the 5Gbps ports. Ports running at 2.5Gbps have a 1% granularity in

port speeds.
