Configuring the Basic Interface Parameters
Changing the Bandwidth-Rate Mode
You can specify whether each 10 Gb of bandwidth on a 32-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet module is dedicated
to one port or shared by four ports in the same port group.
This section includes the following topics:
• Creating a Port Profile, page 2-43
• Sharing the Bandwidth Among a Port Group, page 2-20
Dedicating Bandwidth to One Port
When you dedicate the bandwidth to one port, you must first administratively shut down the four ports
in the group, change the rate mode to dedicated, and then bring the dedicated port administratively up.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. interface ethernet slot/port, ethernet slot/port, ethernet slot/port, ethernet slot/port
3. shutdown
4. interface ethernet slot/port
5. rate-mode dedicated
6. no shutdown
7. show interface ethernet slot/port capabilities
8. exit
9. copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
interface ethernet slot/port, ethernet slot/port,
ethernet slot/port, ethernet slot/port
Example:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 3/1, ethernet
3/3, ethernet 3/5, ethernet 3/7
switch(config-if)#
Specifies an Ethernet interface to
configure, and enters interface
configuration mode.
The example shows how to specify one
port for the dedicated mode.
Step 3
shutdown
Example:
switch(config)# shutdown
Administratively shuts down the ports.
