Hi I assume you mean port-channel ?

For the MDS 9706 DS-X9448-768K9 each port is wirerate; no port sharing !

This per-slot bandwidth is twice the bandwidth needed to support a 48-port 16-Gbps Fibre Channel module at full line rate.

 

The MDS 9222i  DS-X9248-48K9 module has 4 ports of 8 Gbps ; I believe there is no port sharing between this 4 8 Gbps ports.

Dear Walter Dey,

Thanks for support! 

 

You can set bandwidth for each port on DS-X9448-768K9 from 16G to 8G? 

And using 4 port witch bandwidth is 8G for port-channel?
