Cisco MDS 9000 Fabric Manager Switch Configuration Guide
OL-7753-01
Chapter 1 Product Overview
Hardware Overview
These modular directors have the following features:
•
Two redundant, hot-swappable power supplies have AC or DC connection, each of which can supply
power to the entire chassis.
•
Two supervisor modules ensure high availability and traffic load balancing capabilities. Each
supervisor module can control the entire switch. The standby supervisor module provides
redundancy in case the active supervisor module fails.
•
The 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel ports support Inter-Switch Links (E ports),
Extended Inter-Switch Links (TE ports), loop (FL and TL ports), and fabric (F ports) connectivity.
Besides Telnet access, a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port provides switch access and a RS-232 serial
port allows switch configuration.
•
Hot-swappable, small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports can be configured with either short or long
wavelength SFPs for connectivity up to 500m and 10km, respectively.
•
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports the IP Storage Services (IPS) module. All IPS modules are
configurable for both FCIP and iSCSI operation on a port-by-port basis. Ports configured for FCIP
operation can be further configured to support up to three virtual ISL connections.

Cisco MDS 9100 Series Fixed Configuration Fabric Switches
Cisco MDS 9100 Series includes two multilayer, fixed configuration (non-modular) switches:
•
The Cisco MDS 9140 provides 40 ports (8 full rate ports, 32 host-optimized ports)
•
The Cisco MDS 9120 is a 20 ports (4 full rate ports, 16 host-optimized ports)
These fixed configuration switches are packaged in a 1 RU enclosures and have the following features:
•
Two redundant, hot-swappable power supplies have AC connections, each of which can supply
power to the entire chassis.
•
Two hot-swappable fan modules with two fans each manage the airflow and cooling for the entire
switch.
•
The 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel ports support Inter-Switch Links (E ports),
Extended Inter-Switch Links (TE ports), loop (FL and TL ports), and fabric (F ports) connectivity.
Besides Telnet access, a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port provides switch access.
•
Hot-swappable, small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports can be configured with either short or long
wavelength SFPs for connectivity up to 500m and 10km, respectively.
Note
Switches in the Cisco MDS 9100 Series do not have a COM1 port (a RS-232 serial port).
