14/2-Port Multiprotocol Services Module
The 14/2-port Multiprotocol Services (MPS-14/2) module provides 14 1-Gbps/2-Gbps Fibre Channel
autosensing ports and two 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports for iSCSI and FCIP over Gigabit Ethernet. The
MPS-14/2 module supports the intelligent features available on other modules, including VSANs,
security, and traffic management.
The 14 1-Gbps/2-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel ports (labeled 1 through 14) are best used for
applications requiring high bandwidth; for example, Inter-Switch Link (ISL) connections between
switches and high-performance host or storage controllers. Each Fibre Channel port supports a sustained
data rate of up to 2 Gbps in each direction.
The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch supports one MPS-14/2 module. The two Gigabit Ethernet ports (labeled 1
and 2) provide 1-Gbps throughput for IP services, including iSCSI and FCIP over Gigabit Ethernet. The
MPS-14/2 also supports hardware-based encryption and compression for these Gigabit Ethernet ports.
This hardware-based encryption handles the computationally intensive IPsec feature for IP services.

Status
Description
All diagnostics pass. The module is operational (normal
initialization sequence).
Orange
One of the following occurs or occurred:
The module is booting or running diagnostics (normal
•
initialization sequence).
•
The inlet air temperature of the system exceeded the
maximum system operating temperature limit (a minor
environmental warning). To ensure maximum product
life, you should immediately correct the environmental
temperature and restore the system to normal operation.
Red
One of the following occurred:
The diagnostic test failed. The module is not operational
•
because a fault occurred during the initialization
sequence.
•
he inlet air temperature of the system exceeded the safe
T
operating temperature limits of the card (a major
environmental warning). The card shut down to prevent
permanent damage.
