The receive BB_credit values depend on the module type and the port mode.
Note
For 16-port switching modules and full rate ports, the default value is 16 for Fx mode and 255 for E or
TE modes. The maximum value is 255 in all modes. This value can be changed as required.
For 32-port switching modules and host-optimized ports, the default value is 12 for Fx, E, and TE modes.
These values cannot be changed.
Note In the Cisco MDS 9100 Series, the left most groups of ports outlined in white (4 ports in the 9120 switch
and 8 ports in the 9140 switch) are full line rate like the 16-port switching module. The other ports (16
ports in the 9120 switch and 32 ports in the 9140 switch) are host-optimized like the 32-port switching
module. Each group of 4 host-optimized ports have the same rules as for the 32-port switching module.
To configure BB_credits for a Fibre Channel interface, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc1/1
switch(config-if)#
Step 3
switch(config-if)# switchport fcrxbbcredit
default
switch(config-if)# switchport fcrxbbcredit 5
switch(config-if)# switchport fcrxbbcredit 5
mode E
switch(config-if)# switchport fcrxbbcredit 5
mode Fx
Step 4
switch# do show int fc1/1
fc1/1 is up

16 receive B2B credit remaining
3 transmit B2B credit remaining
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures the specified interface.
Applies the default operational value to the
selected interface. The operational value depends
on the port mode. The default values are assigned
based on the port capabilities.
Assigns a BB_credit of 5 to the selected interface.
The range to assign BB_credits is between 1 and
255.
Assigns this value if the port is operating in E or
TE mode. The range to assign BB_credits is
between 1 and 255.
Assigns this value if the port is operating in F or
FL mode. The range to assign BB_credits is
between 1 and 255.
Displays the receive and transmit BB_credit
along with other pertinent interface information
for this interface.
The BB_credit values are correct at the
Note
time the registers are read. They are
useful to verify situations when the data
traffic is slow.
