With 48 fixed autosensing 10-Gbps FCoE ports, the DS-X9848-480K9 is the Cisco MDS 9700 48-Port 10-Gbps Fibre Channel over Ethernet Module. It can go in any or all of the 8 payload slots of the MDS 9710 Multilayer Director, or any or all of the 4 payload slots of the MDS 9706. A single 9710 chassis then reaches up to 384 full line-rate 10-Gbps ports, and a 9706 up to 192.
The module supports T11 standards-compliant FCoE, the FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP), FCoE Forwarder (FCF) and multihop FCoE with virtual E (VE) port support. FCoE inter-switch links can be grouped into PortChannels of up to 16 physical links. The module and its SFP+ optics are hot-swappable.
It needs Cisco MDS NX-OS Software Release 6.2(7) or later. The card measures 1.75 x 15.9 x 21.8 in. (4.4 x 40.39 x 55.37 cm), weighs 17.0 lb (7.7 kg) and draws a typical 400 watts. The spare number is DS-X9848-480K9=. Optics ordered with it include DS-SFP-10GE-SR and DS-SFP-10GE-LR, and 10GBASE-CU SFP+ cables come in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 m lengths.
Other Fibre Channel and FCoE line cards are in Cisco interface cards, and the directors that hold them are in Cisco switches.
