Configuring Fibre Channel Interfaces
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc2/1-2, fc2/4-5, fc2/8-38, fc2/43-48
Specifies the port interfaces for which you want to enable restrictions on oversubscription ratios.
Step 3
switch(config-if)# shutdown
Shuts down shared ports.
Step 4
switch(config-if)# out-of-service
Takes shared ports out of service.
Step 5
switch# rate-mode oversubscription-limit module 1
Enables restrictions on oversubscription ratios for the module.
Note
You must enter this command separately for each module for which you want to add the restriction.
Step 6
switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 7
switch(config)# interface fc2/1-2, fc2/4-5, fc2/8-38, fc2/43-48
Specifies the port interfaces for which you want to enable restrictions on oversubscription ratios.
Step 8
switch(config)# no out-of-service
Returns all shared ports to service.
Step 9
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Bring up shared ports.
Step 10
switch(config)# exit
Exits configuration mode.
Step 11
switch# copy running-config startup-config
Saves the new oversubscription ratio configuration to the startup configuration, and then the new configuration is
enforced upon subsequent reboots of the module.
