Chapter 1 Product Overview
Supervisor Modules
Supervisor-2 Modules
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series offers redundant, hot-swappable, Supervisor-2 modules. (See
Figure 1-12
.)
Supervisor-2 modules can be used in the Cisco MDS 9509 and 9506 Directors in slots 5 and 6.
Supervisor-2 modules must be used in slots 7 and 8 of the Cisco MDS 9513 Director.
Supervisor-2 modules provide an integrated crossbar switching fabric to connect all the switching
modules when used in a Cisco MDS 9509 or 9506 Director. Single fabric configurations provide
720-Gbps full duplex speed with 80-Gbps full duplex bandwidth per switching module. Dual fabric
configurations provide 1.4-Tbps speed with 160-Gbps full duplex bandwidth per switching module. This
integrated crossbar switching fabric is disabled when a Supervisor-2 module is installed in a Cisco MDS
9513 Director. The Cisco MDS 9513 Director supports two external crossbar modules located at the rear
of the chassis that handle this function. (For more information, see the
“Crossbar Modules” section on
page 1-25
.)
