Chapter 1 Product Overview
Port Index Availability
Table 1-10
shows a valid sample configuration for maximum capacity within the port index limits. The
table lists a mixture of Generation 1 and Generation 2 modules on a Cisco MDS 9509 Director.
Table 1-11
shows a sample configuration that exceeds the port index limit. The table lists a mixture of
Generation 1 storage IPS modules and Generation 2 modules on a Cisco MDS 9509 Director. In this
example, one of the modules installed will not boot up because the number of port indexes needed has
been exceeded.
