Supervisor-2 Modules

The Cisco MDS 9500 Series offers redundant, hot-swappable, Supervisor-2 modules. (See Figure 1-12.) Supervisor-2 modules can be used in the Cisco MDS 9509 and 9506 Directors in slots 5 and 6. Supervisor-2 modules must be used in slots 7 and 8 of the Cisco MDS 9513 Director.

Supervisor-2 modules provide an integrated crossbar switching fabric to connect all the switching modules when used in a Cisco MDS 9509 or 9506 Director. Single fabric configurations provide

720-Gbps full duplex speed with 80-Gbps full duplex bandwidth per switching module. Dual fabric configurations provide 1.4-Tbps speed with 160-Gbps full duplex bandwidth per switching module. This integrated crossbar switching fabric is disabled when a Supervisor-2 module is installed in a Cisco MDS 9513 Director. The Cisco MDS 9513 Director supports two external crossbar modules located at the rear of the chassis that handle this function. (For more information, see the “Crossbar Modules” section on page 1-25.)
