IP Storage Services Modules
The 4-port and 8-port IP Storage services (IPS-4 and IPS-8) modules provide four or eight 1-Gigabit
Ethernet ports for iSCSI as well as FCIP over Gigabit Ethernet, and they support the intelligent features
available on other modules, including VSANs, security, and traffic management.
The IPS module ports can be configured to support the iSCSI protocol, the FCIP protocol, or both
protocols simultaneously. For information about configuring the ports, see the Cisco MDS 9000
Family NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide.
The Fibre Channel port interfaces support hot-swappable Gigabit Ethernet 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). 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
