Chapter 1 Product Overview
Cisco MDS 9100 Series Ports
All 32 4-Gbps ports and 2 10-Gbps ports can operate at line rate concurrently. In addition, the 10-Gbps
ports can be activated independently at 24- or 32-port configurations.
A 64-port switch can be formed out of Cisco two MDS 9134 Switches by using a copper CX4 X2
transceiver as an Inter-Switch Link (ISL).
The Cisco MDS 9134 Switch includes hot-swappable SFP interfaces. All SFP interfaces are 1, 2, and 4
Gbps, with autosensing capabilities. Individual ports can be configured with either short- or
long-wavelength SFP optics for connectivity up to 860 meters and 10 kilometers, respectively. The two
10-Gbps ports support X2 form factor optics, either copper or optical.
