Chapter 1 Product Overview
The MPS-14/2 modules support FCIP compression to maximize the effective WAN bandwidth of SAN
extension solutions. It achieves up to a 30-to-1 compression ratio, with typical ratios of 2-to-1 over a
wide variety of data sources. With the addition of hardware-based compression, the MPS-14/2 module
is able to provide optimal levels of compressed throughput for implementations across low to
high-bandwidth links.
The Gigabit Ethernet ports on the MPS-14/2 module support iSCSI protocol, FCIP protocol, or both
protocols simultaneously. For information about configuring the ports, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family
CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.
The Fibre Channel port interfaces support hot-swappable Fibre Channel SFP transceivers, which can be
short wavelength (SWL) for connectivity up to 1640 feet (500 meters), or long wavelength (LWL) for
connectivity up to 6.2 miles (10 km). All interfaces are autosensing 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps compatible. The
port interfaces also support coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) SFP transceivers, which
can be used for extended long wavelength (ELWL) transmission or for CWDM. See the
Transceivers" section on page
Cisco MDS 9200 Series switches running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0(1b) or later support the
