The receive BB_credit value (fcrxbbcredit) may be configured for each Fibre Channel interface. In most
cases, you do not need to modify the default configuration.
The receive BB_credit values depend on the port mode. For physical Fibre Channel interfaces, the
Note
default value is 16 for F mode and E mode interfaces. This value can be changed as required. The
maximum value is 64.
Note For virtual Fibre Channel interfaces, BB_credits are not used.
