mode and shared rate mode are not supported.
The following considerations apply to BB_credit buffers on 4-port 10-Gbps switching modules:
Note
Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide

lists the BB_credit buffer allocation for 4-port 10-Gbps switching modules.
4-Port 10-Gbps Switching Module BB_Credit Buffer Allocation
BB_credit buffers for ISL connections can be configured from a minimum of 2 buffers to a
maximum of 750 buffers.
BB_credit buffers for Fx port mode connections can be configured from a minimum of 2 buffers to
a maximum of 750 buffers.
By default, 512 performance buffers are preallocated and are shared by all the ports. These buffers
are configurable and the buffers are assigned to the port based on the availability of the buffers in
the shared pool.
There are 2488 extra buffers available as extended BB_credits after allocating all the default
BB_credit buffers for all the ports in ISL mode (5488 - (750 * 4)).
Extended BB_credits are allocated across all ports on the switch. That is, they are not allocated
by port group.
