Learning multi-port Cisco switch modules - Computers - Hardware

Cisco is the leader in the exchange industry, the performance of its various facilities are very good, the Cisco switch modules compared to other switching modules, scalability, availability, security, and so have the advantage. Adaptive 1/2Gbps Cisco switch module interface: to provide high-performance connectivity and compatibility with existing equipment. The industry's highest performance Inter-Switch Link (ISL): Up to 16 a PortChannel 2Gbps links - links can be subjected to any Cisco switch modules within the chassis to any port, which can improve the scalability and resiliency. Intelligent network services: the use of virtual SAN (VSAN) technology in the establishment of a physical network hardware isolation environment for hardware-based intelligent frame processing provides access control list (ACL), using Fibre Channel Congestion Control (FCC) and the matrix and other high-level QoS traffic management features transplanted from SAN islands to enterprise-class stor age network. Comprehensive security framework: WS-G5487 Supports RADIUS authentication, SNMPv3, role-based access control, SSH, SFTP, FC-SP, virtual SAN, hardware partitioning and access control lists. Advanced diagnostics: Provides intelligent diagnostics, protocol decoding and network analysis tools, and integrated call home function, improve reliability, quickly resolve problems and reduce service costs. High port density and configuration flexibility: Provides 16-port and 32 port configurations to improve performance, flexibility and density; Each chassis supports up to 256 Fibre Channel ports, 768 ports per rack. Cisco MDS 9000 Series Fibre Channel Switch Module Cisco MDS 9000 Series Fibre Channel switch module provides the intelligence and advanced features to make multi-layer storage area network a reality. Cisco switch module includes all the hardware innovations, can significantly improve the storage network scalability, availability, security and manageability, to improve efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). All Cisco MDS 9000 Series switch modules are hot-swappable, including hot-swappable pluggable framework minicomputer (SFP) LC interfaces. Each port can be configured for short wavelength or long wavelength SFP, 500m and 10km respectively the connection. All interfaces are adaptive 1/2Gbps interface. Each port supports 255 buffer credits, no additional licenses can be improved scalability. In addition, the port can operate in the following modes: E port, F port, FL port, SD port, TE port, TL port. Cisco MDS 9000 Series Fibre Channel Switch Module Cisco offers two configurations: DS-X9016 16-port switch module can be the most important to provide the highest performance storage networking applications. DS-X9032 32-port switching module performance and port density to achieve the best balance between. 16-port Fibre Channel switching module For the most important storage networking applications, DS-X9016 16-port Fibre Channel Switch Module Cisco can provide unparalleled performance. Adaptive 1/2Gbps port can provide the total bandwidth of 64Gbps continuous, so that DS-X9016 for connecting high-performance storage subsystems and the establishment of ISL connections between switches an ideal solution. 32-port Fibre Channel switching module Using DS-X9032 32-port Fibre Channel WS-G5483 Switch Module Cisco can be greatly improved by optimizing storage network transmission performance. Using Cisco MDS 9000 family switching modules, network builders can follow the specific application needs to allocate bandwidth, while reducing switch area, reduce total storage network deployment cost. DS-X9032 Switching Module provides the industry's highest port density line cards, as well as 32Gbps of total bandwidth. Bandwidth allocation by eight groups, each group of four ports, each port group 4Gbps available bandwidth. If the DS-X9032 and DS-X9016 module integrated in a modular chassis, customers will be able to design applications in a variety of price / performance ratio of the maximum storage network. Cisco MDS 9000 Series intelligent scalable switching module Cisco MDS 9000 Series provides the industry's highest port density, the number of ports per chassis from 16-256. Since the establishment of large-scale storage network requires not only high-port density, therefore, Cisco also introduced many new features, so that multiple storage networks become a reality. Virtual SAN, advanced traffic management, hardware security, maintainability and comprehensive Cisco MDS 9000 Series to become the preferred platform for enterprises to provide the highest scalability and the lowest TCO. Virtual SAN VSAN for the Cisco MDS 9000 Series is the industry's leading product development, to create a SAN network environment, hardware-based isolation, which can improve the utilization of SAN. Each VSAN can be used as a typical SAN, the matrix to maintain their services to enhance the scal ability and resiliency. After the establishment of VSAN, only to let multiple users share the cost of SAN infrastructure, but also ensure the flow of the absolute isolation and security, and independent control unit configured VSAN. Sustainable network of WS-G5486 high-performance advanced traffic management Integrated into every Cisco MDS 9000 Series Cisco switch module in the advanced traffic management features to simplify deployment and optimization of large networks. Features: Using PortChannels, users can be aggregated into 16 physical ISL beam of a logical connection to improve bandwidth utilization of all links. Connect the chassis beam can include any port on any module, when the module fails, the beam can be used to guarantee connectivity. Using Shortest Path First (FSPF) provides intelligent multi-path, when the switch fails, the ability to load balance to 16 equal cost path, the realization of the dynamic re-routing traffic. Fibre Channel Congestion Control (FCC) is an end feedback congestion control mechanisms, to enhance the fiber channel switches between adjacent buffer to buffer (BB) credit. The industry's most advanced diagnostic and troubleshooting tools The management of large-scale storage networks requires proactive diagnostic tool not only to test connectivity and path delay, but also a variety of mechanisms to capture and analyze traffic. Cisco MDS 9000 Series integrates the industry's most advanced analysis and debugging tools. Electrical connection self-test (POST) and online diagnostics provide proactive health monitoring. Cisco MDS 9000 Series switch modules provide the necessary diagnostic capabilities to implement integrated hardware features, such as the exact details of traffic routing and timing of the FC Traceroute, and capture network traffic intelligently Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN). Traffic is captured, you can use an embedded Fibre Channel analyzer Cisco Fabric Analyzer for analysis. Using a comprehensive data port and traffic statistics, you can perform advanced performance analysis and service level agreements (SLA) records. With MDS 9000 Series, Cisco storage networks for institutional troubleshooting and analysis to provide the most comprehensive set of tools. To ensure comprehensive WS-G5484 security solution Cisco MDS 9000 Series Cisco switch module fully into account the security requirements of the storage network, and thus the port level packet inspection using intelligent methods. ACL can be applied in each port to the hardware partition, VSAN, and QoS. This function access and control and management of security combined with the Cisco MDS 9000 Series as similar products in the most secure platform.
