Port density sets the DS-X9148 apart: this Cisco MDS 9000 Family 48-port 1/2/4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module allows 528 ports per chassis and 1584 ports per rack. The module carries 96 Gbps of total bandwidth across four sets of 12 ports, each set with 24 Gbps of full-duplex bandwidth.
Switching bandwidth can be dedicated to a port with Port Bandwidth Reservation. All 48 ports are 1/2/4-Gbps autosensing with hot-swappable SFP LC interfaces. Per-port buffer credits start at 16 in shared mode and reach 250 in dedicated mode, and the Enterprise Package license raises one dedicated-mode port to 4095. Up to 16 ports can be grouped in a PortChannel.
Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(1) or later is required. The DS-X9148 is compatible with all MDS 9500 Series Multilayer Directors and with the MDS 9216A and MDS 9216i, and it takes one slot in an MDS 9200 or MDS 9500 Series chassis. The module is 1.75 x 14.4 x 16 in. The spare number is DS-X9148=.
For comparison, the DS-X9112 12-port 4-Gbps module has 12 ports, and the DS-X9248-48K9 4/44-port module is an 8-Gbps card. Related cards are in Cisco interface cards.
