Table 1-9	Port Index Requirements
Supervisor		Module	Port Index Requirements
Supervisor-1		Generation 1	Indexes must be:
			• Contiguous
			• In the range assigned to the given slot
			• Start with the lowest value assigned to
			that slot
			Maximum 252 assignable port indexes
			available,
		Generation 2	Indexes can be any available number in the
			range 0–252.
Supervisor-2		Generation 1	Indexes must be contiguous, but can be any
			available contiguous block in the range
			0–252.
		Generation 2	Indexes can be any available number in the
			range 0–1020 if all modules are Generation
			2 modules. Otherwise, indexes can be any
			available number in the range 0–252.

Table 1-10shows a valid sample configuration for maximum capacity within the port index limits. The table lists a mixture of Generation 1 and Generation 2 modules on a Cisco MDS 9509 Director.

	Totals		252	252

Table 1-11shows a sample configuration that exceeds the port index limit. The table lists a mixture of Generation 1 storage IPS modules and Generation 2 modules on a Cisco MDS 9509 Director. In this example, one of the modules installed will not boot up because the number of port indexes needed has been exceeded.
