Cisco Fibre Element If Port Rate Mode

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.289.1.1.2.1.31

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.
