Actual exam question from Cisco's 350-601

Question #: 359
Topic #: 1

A network engineer must configure a Fibre Channel interface on the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch. The configuration must meet these requirements:
• The interface must be disabled when the bit errors threshold is exceeded.
• Buffer-to-buffer credits must be set to the maximum value.
• The interface must have full bandwidth allocated for its port group.

Which command set configures a Fibre Channel interface that meets these requirements?

A. interface fc1/1
switchport bit-errors
switchport fcrxbbcredit 220 mode Fx
switchport rate-mode dedicated
B. interface fc1/1
switchport ignore bit-errors
switchport fcrxbbcredit 255 mode Fx
no switchport rate-mode
C. interface fc1/1
no switchport ignore bit-errors
switchport fcrxbbcredit 255 mode Fx
switchport rate-mode dedicated
D. interface fc1/1
no switchport bit-errors
switchport fcrxbbcredit 220 mode Fx
no switchport rate-mode

There's no documentation suggesting maximum value is 220. Maximum value for buffer-to-buffer credits is 255: "For 16-port switching modules and full rate ports, the default value is 16 for Fx mode and 255 for E or TE modes. The maximum value is 255 in all modes. This value can be changed as required." https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/7_3/configuration/interfaces/cisco_mds9000_interfaces_config_guide_7x/configuring_interface_buffers.html#wp6932207410

Configure the switch to not disable an interface when the threshold is crossed - switchport ignore bit-errors To revert to default, the threshold disables the interface => no switchport ignore bit-errors

It is A no switchport ignore bit-errors - Prevents the detection of bit error threshold events from enabling the interface. Not what we are looking for in this question. https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5500/sw/san_switching/7x/b_5500_SAN_Switching_Config_7x_chapter_010.html And https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/storage-networking/mds-9513-multilayer-director/210451-fc-port-down-due-to-error-disabled-bi.html

CANT'T BE A GO WITH C Buffer-to-Buffer Credits Buffer-to-buffer credits (BB_credits) are a flow-control mechanism to ensure that Fibre Channel switches do not run out of buffers, so that switches do not drop frames. Buffer-to-buffer credits are negotiated on a per-hop basis. The receive buffer-to-buffer credit (fcrxbbcredit) value may be configured for each Fibre Channel interface. In most cases, you do not need to modify the default configuration. The receive buffer-to-buffer credit values depend on the module type and the port mode, as follows: For 16-port switching modules and full rate ports, the default value is 16 for Fx mode and 255 for E or TE modes. The maximum value is 255 in all modes. This value can be changed as required. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/7_3/configuration/interfaces/cisco_mds9000_interfaces_config_guide_7x/configuring_interface_buffers.html

Daimon336: the Q states: The interface must be disabled when the bit errors threshold is exceeded. So, no switchport ignore bit-errors is exactly what we are looking for. Like you said, it "Prevents the detection of bit error threshold events from enabling the interface"

Correct. Besides there is no command switchport bit-errors. only no switchport ignore bit-errors

Correct Answer is A - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/storage-networking/mds-9513-multilayer-director/210451-fc-port-down-due-to-error-disabled-bi.html You can configure the switch to not disable an interface using below command when the threshold is crossed. By default, the threshold disables the interface. no switchport ignore bit-errors

It is A: The command "switchport bit-errors" in the first line enables bit-error monitoring on the interface. If the bit error threshold is exceeded, the interface will be automatically disabled. The command "switchport fcrxbbcredit 220 mode Fx" sets the buffer-to-buffer credits to the maximum value of 220. The command "switchport rate-mode dedicated" configures the interface to have dedicated bandwidth, which means that the interface will have full bandwidth allocated for its port group.
