| Description | The rate of data traffic supported by this port.
'dedicated' - this interface is operating in
dedicated rate mode. In dedicated rate
mode each interface has an allocated
fabric bandwidth to sustain line rate
traffic at the maximum configured
operating speed.
'shared' - this interface is operating in over
subscription mode. In over subscription
mode the available fabric bandwidth of
a link is shared by more than one
interface, so that multiple front panel
ports share the same link internally to
the switch fabric.
For modules that are capable of switching between
'dedicated' and 'shared' modes, certain restrictions
apply based on the available bandwidth and speed.
The keywords 'osm' and 'shared', 'frm' and 'dedicated'
are interchangeable. |
