Cisco MDS 9124 24-Port Multilayer Fabric Switch
The Cisco
Gbps, offers outstanding value by providing flexibility, high-availability, security, and ease-of-use at an
affordable price in a compact 1-rack-unit (1RU) form factor. With its flexibility to expand from 8 to 24 ports
in 8-port increments, the Cisco MDS 9124 offers the densities required for both departmental storage area
network (SAN) switches and edge switches in enterprise SANs. The Cisco MDS 9124 supports quick
configuration and task wizards that allow it to be deployed quickly and easily in networks of any size.
Powered by Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS/NX-OS Software, it includes advanced storage networking
features and functions and is compatible with Cisco MDS 9500 Series Multilayer Directors and Cisco MDS
9200 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches, providing transparent, end-to-end service delivery in core-edge
deployments.
Highlights
Exceptional flexibility and scalability—The Cisco MDS 9124 offers up to 24 autosensing Fibre Channel ports
●
capable of speeds of 4, 2, and 1 Gbps in a compact 1RU form-factor chassis with 4 Gbps of dedicated
bandwidth for each port and an aggregate platform bandwidth of 192 Gbps. The base configuration has 8
active ports with flexibility to upgrade onsite to 16 and 24 ports, in 8-port increments, with the Cisco MDS
9124 On-Demand Port Activation Licenses. The Cisco MDS 9124 is an ideal platform as a standalone
departmental SAN switch and as an edge switch in enterprise core-edge SANs. The 1RU compact design is
ideal for space-constrained environments where maximum port density per rack is imperative.
Intelligent storage networking services at an affordable price—The Cisco MDS 9124, powered by Cisco MDS
●
9000 SAN-OS/NX-OS Software, offers intelligent storage networking capabilities such as virtual SANs
(VSANs), PortChannels, quality of service (QoS), and security for cost-effective design, deployment, and
management of departmental and enterprise SANs.
Highly available platform for mission-critical deployments—The Cisco MDS 9124 is designed for
●
environments where downtime is not an option. It offers nondisruptive software upgrades, dual hot-swappable
AC or DC power supplies (with integrated FANs for optional redundancy), VSANs for fault isolation, and
PortChannels for Inter-Switch Link (ISL) resiliency.
Comprehensive security framework—The Cisco MDS 9124 supports RADIUS and TACACS+, port security,
●
fabric binding, Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) host-to-switch and switch-to-switch authentication,
Secure FTP (SFTP), Secure Shell Version 2 (SSHv2) and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3
(SNMPv3) implementing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), VSANs, hardware-enforced zoning,
broadcast zones, and per-VSAN role-based access control (RBAC).
Simplified storage management—The Cisco MDS 9124 includes built-in storage network management, with
●
all features available through a command-line interface (CLI) or Cisco Fabric Manager, a centralized
management tool with task-based wizards that simplify management of a standalone switch or multiple
switches and fabrics.
Sophisticated diagnostics—Industry-leading intelligent diagnostics such as Fibre Channel Ping, Fibre
●
Channel Traceroute, Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN), Cisco Fabric Analyzer, and integrated call-home
capability enhance reliability, facilitate faster problem resolution, and reduce service costs.
