Chapter 1 Product Overview

Cisco MDS 9100 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches

Cisco MDS 9134 Switch

The Cisco MDS 9134 Multilayer Fabric Switch has a total of 32 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel ports, and 2 10-Gbps ports. The Cisco MDS 9134 Switch (see Figure 1-1) features On-Demand Port activation licensing. By default, the first 24 ports are licensed. An additional license is required for the remaining 8 ports. The 2 10-Gbps ports are not licensed by default. They require a separate license.

Two Cisco MDS 9134 Switches can be stacked by using copper CX4 X2 transceivers. By means of the stacked switch configuration, two Cisco MDS 9134 Switches enable 48 ports and/or 64 ports. For information on stacked switch installation, see Installing Cisco MDS 9134 48-Port and 64-Port Stackable Bundles, page 2-21.

Cisco MDS 9134 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.
