Verifying Bandwidth Utilization in a Port Group Using the CLI
To verify bandwidth utilization in a port group using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use the show port-resources module command to display the Generation 2 module shared resources
configuration.
switch# show port-resources module 2
Module 2
Available dedicated buffers are 5164
Port-Group 1
Total bandwidth is 12.8 Gbps
Total shared bandwidth is 4.8 Gbps
Allocated dedicated bandwidth is 8.0 Gbps

Interfaces in the Port-Group
--------------------------------------------------------------------
fc2/1
fc2/2
fc2/3
fc2/4
fc2/5
fc2/6
...
In this example, there is not enough available shared bandwidth in Port-Group 1 to switch any more ports
to 4 Gbps dedicated mode.
Do one of the following to free bandwidth for the port that you want to place in dedicated mode.

Use the out-of-service command in interface mode to put one or more ports in out- of-service mode
to free more resources.
Use the swtichport speed command on one or more ports to change the port speed to a lower port
speed. See the
"Dynamic Bandwidth Management" section on page 5-3
requirements for port rate modes and port speeds.
