24-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module

The 24-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module offers 24 autosensing 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps Fibre
Channel ports and can be used in any of the Cisco MDS 9500 Series chassis and in the Cisco MDS 9216i
and 9216A Switches. The 24-port switching module can be configured in one of two operational modes:
shared bandwidth mode (default) and dedicated bandwidth mode.

12-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module

The 12-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module can be used in any of the Cisco MDS 9500 Series
chassis and in the Cisco MDS 9216i and 9216A Switches. The 12-port 4-Gbps switching module is a
full rate mode module providing 12 SPF-based Fibre Channel interfaces. Each interface is capable of
supporting full line rate operation at 4-Gbps interface speed. The module delivers a sustained data rate
of up to 4 Gbps in each direction, on all ports simultaneously, and up to 96 Gbps of continuous, aggregate
bandwidth when attached to high-performance servers and storage subsystems.
