Cisco MDS 9100 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches Chapter 1 Product Overview Send documentation comments to [email protected] Cisco MDS 9124 Switch The Cisco MDS 9124 Multilayer Fabric Switch has a total of 24 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel ports. The Cisco MDS 9124 Switch features On-Demand Port Licensing. You can activate licensing in 8-port increments with each on-demand port activation license for up to a total of 24 ports. By default, the first 8 ports are licensed. Two additional licenses are required to license all 24 ports. See Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2 Cisco MDS 9124 Switch 181277 Cisco MDS 9124 Multilayer Fabric Switch supports N port identifier virtualization (NPIV). NPIV can assign multiple FC IDs to a single N port. This feature allows multiple applications on the N port to use different identifiers and allows access control, zoning, and port security at the application level For a list of features supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide and the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide. Cisco MDS 9140 Switch The Cisco MDS 9140 Switch has a total of 40 1/2-Gbps autosensing, optionally configurable ports. The first eight ports on the left-hand side are the bandwidth-optimized ports. They are delineated by a white border. The remaining eight groups of four ports each are the host-optimized port groups. See Figure 1-3.
