Using any combination of modules that include a Generation 1 module and a Supervisor-2 module limits the port index availability to 252 on all Cisco MDS 9500 Series Directors. But the Generation 1 modules can use any contiguous block of port indexes in the range 0–252 (See Table 1-9).

Using any combination of only Generation 2 with a Supervisor-2 module allows a maximum of 528 (with an architectural limit of 1020) port indexes on all Cisco MDS 9500 Series Directors. Generation 2 modules do not need contiguous port indexes. Generation 2 modules will use the available ports in the slot that it is installed and then borrow available ports from the supervisors, and then restart at slot 1 of the chassis until it has the number of port indexes necessary.

Table 1-12shows a valid sample configuration for maximum capacity within the port index limits. The table only lists Generation 2 modules in a Cisco MDS 9513 Director.
