Go to the C-Series section and select the link for the Cisco MDS9216i Multilayer Fabric Switch. C-Series management software The following management software is supported: • Cisco Fabric Manager • Cisco Device Manager • CLI HP network teaming HP NIC teaming is supported with the Windows operating system only. Network interface controllers (NIC) All NICs supported by HP are supported for this product. For optimal performance, HP recommends that Gigabit Ethernet NICs be used. Multi-pathing Multi-pathing is supported on EVA4000/6000/8000 only in a Windows environment using the Microsoft Multipath I/O driver (MPIO), supported with iSCSI.
