  • Page 22 All 32 4-Gbps ports and 2 10-Gbps ports can operate at line rate concurrently. In addition, the 10-Gbps ports can be activated independently at 24- or 32-port configurations. A 64-port switch can be formed by stacking two Cisco MDS 9134 Switches together using a copper CX4 X2 transceiver.

  • Page 23: Ports On The Cisco Mds 9124 Switch

    The on-demand ports are licensed in groups of eight. By default, an on-demand license for the first eight ports (ports 1 through 8) is included with the switch. You can transfer that license to other ports on the switch or obtain extra licenses to make more ports on the switch available. You can activate additional ports in 8-port increments with each on-demand port license.
