18/4-Port Multiservice Federal Information Processing Standards Module
The Cisco MDS 9000 Family 18/4-port Multiservice FIPS (MSFM-18/4) module is a FIPS 140-2 Level
3-compliant version of the MSM-18/4 module. The MSFM-18/4 module is identical to the MSM-18/4
module in form and function, with the exception of an opaque potting material encapsulating the
cryptographic boundary of the MSFM-18/4 module to prevent unauthorized access and tampering.
Note Cisco MDS 9500 Series switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.2(1) or later, or NX-OS
Release 4.1(1b) support the MSM-18/4 and the MSFM-18/4 module.
Figure 1-27 shows the MSM-18/4 module.
