Description

High-performance SAN extension module for MDS directors, combining 24 line-rate 4/8/16 Gbps Fibre Channel ports with 10 x 1/10GbE IP-services ports for FCIP-based WAN extension, replication, and business continuity. Delivers hardware-accelerated encryption (IPsec) and compression, granular QoS, and resiliency with PortChannels for long-distance links. Supports VSANs, IVR, and buffering tuned for high-latency paths—ideal for metro and long-haul SAN bridging.

Features

- 24 x line-rate 16G FC ports for core/edge SAN connectivity
- 10 x 1/10GbE IP-services ports enabling FCIP-based SAN extension
- Hardware-accelerated IPsec encryption and compression for secure WAN links
- Resilient long-distance operation with QoS and PortChannels
- Supports VSANs, zoning, and IVR for segmented, scalable fabrics

FAQs

Q: Which chassis is this module compatible with?
A: It is designed for Cisco MDS 9700 series director chassis (such as MDS 9706, 9710, and 9718).

Q: Do FCIP encryption and compression require licenses?
A: Yes. Advanced SAN extension features, including IPsec encryption and compression, typically require the appropriate SAN extension/enterprise licenses on NX-OS.

Q: What optics are supported on the ports?
A: FC ports use 16G FC SFP+ transceivers (backward-compatible with 8G/4G FC optics). Ethernet ports accept 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ optics for IP services.

Q: Can it interoperate with existing 8G FC infrastructure?
A: Yes. FC ports auto-negotiate to 4/8/16 Gbps for broad interoperability.

Q: Is Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR) supported?
A: Yes, IVR is supported when enabled with the appropriate software licenses.
