Switching Modules
24-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
The 24-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module offers 24 autosensing 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps Fibre
Channel ports and can be used in any of the Cisco MDS 9500 Series chassis and in the Cisco MDS 9216i
and 9216A Switches. The 24-port switching module can be configured in one of two operational modes:
shared bandwidth mode (default) and dedicated bandwidth mode.
Figure 1-22
shows a 24-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module. The front panel connectors
support standard modular SFP and the speed detection is autosensing.
