Disabling Bandwidth Fairness; Taking Interfaces Out Of Service - Cisco MDS 9000 Series Configuration Manual

Disabling Bandwidth Fairness

Step 2
switch(config)# rate-mode bandwidth-fairness module 1
Enables bandwidth fairness for a module.
Note You must enter this command separately for each module for which you want to enable bandwidth fairness.
You must reload the module for the command to take effect.
Step 3
switch(config)# exit
Exits configuration mode.
Disabling Bandwidth Fairness
Note If you disable bandwidth fairness, up to a 20 percent increase in internal bandwidth allocation is possible for
each port group; however, bandwidth fairness is not guaranteed when there is a mix of shared and full-rate
ports in the same port group.
To disable bandwidth fairness on a switching module, perform these steps:
Step 1 switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# no rate-mode bandwidth-fairness module 1
Disables bandwidth fairness for a module.
Note You must enter this command separately for each module for which you want to disable bandwidth fairness.
You must reload the module for the command to take effect.
Step 3 switch(config)# exit
Exits configuration mode.

Taking Interfaces out of Service

You can take interfaces out of service on Generation 2 and Generation 3 switching modules. When an interface
is out of service, all the shared resources for the interface are released as well as the configuration associated
with those resources.
