Product Overview

The Cisco® MDS 9396S 16G Multilayer Fabric Switch represents the next evolution of high-performance, high-density, and reliable fabric switches in the Cisco MDS Series. Designed for exceptional performance and flexibility, this compact 2-rack-unit (2RU) switch offers scalability from 48 to 96 line-rate 16-Gbps Fibre Channel ports, making it a versatile choice for various environments.

The Cisco MDS 9396S is ideal for:

– Standalone SAN implementations in large departmental storage settings.
– Middle-of-row or top-of-rack configurations in medium-sized redundant fabrics.
– Edge switching within enterprise data center core-edge architectures.

Powered by Cisco NX-OS Software and Cisco Prime™ Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), the MDS 9396S simplifies management while delivering advanced storage networking features. It ensures seamless compatibility across the entire Cisco MDS 9000 Family, facilitating reliable end-to-end connectivity for your data center needs.

Main Features

1. High Performance and Flexibility at Lower Cost:
– Up to 96 autosensing Fibre Channel ports supporting speeds of 2, 4, 8, 10, and 16 Gbps.
– Dedicated 16 Gbps bandwidth for each port.
– Upgradeable from 48 to 96 ports with the Cisco MDS 9396S On-Demand Port Activation license.
– Compact 2RU form factor.
– Ideal for standalone small and midsize business (SMB) Fibre Channel networks.

2. High-Availability Platform for Mission-Critical Deployments:
– In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU) allow software upgrades while carrying traffic.
– Dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays.
– PortChannels and F-port channeling for resiliency.
– Hardware-based slow-port detection and recovery.

3. Simplified Storage Management with Sophisticated Diagnostics:
– Built-in storage network management and SAN plug-and-play capabilities.
– Command-Line Interface (CLI) or Cisco Prime DCNM for SAN Essentials Edition for centralized management.
– Cisco DCNM task-based wizards for simplified management.
– Power On Auto Provisioning (POAP) for automated software image upgrades and configuration file installation.
– Intelligent diagnostics, protocol decoding, network analysis tools, and Cisco Call Home for enhanced reliability and problem resolution.

4. Intelligent Network Services and Advanced Traffic Management:
– Virtual SAN (VSAN) technology for hardware-enforced isolated environments.
– Access Control Lists (ACLs) for intelligent frame processing.
– Optional Cisco MDS 9000 Family Enterprise Package includes advanced traffic management features like fabricwide QoS and Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR).

5. Comprehensive Network Security Framework:
– Extensive security features and functions available with the optional Cisco MDS 9000 Family Enterprise Package.
– Fabricwide per-VSAN role-based authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services.
– VSAN fabric isolation, intelligent port-level packet inspection, and FC-SP host-to-switch and switch-to-switch authentication.
– Cisco Trustsec Link encryption, SFTP, SSHv2, and SNMPv3 with AES.
– Control-plane security, hardware-enforced zoning, and management access controls.

Features and Benefits

Feature

Benefit

Common software across all platforms

Reduce Total Cost Of Ownership (TCO) by using Cisco NX-OS and Cisco Prime DCNM for consistent provisioning, management, and diagnostic capabilities across the fabric

POAP

Automate deployment and upgrade of software images

Smart zoning

Reduce consumption of hardware resources and administrative time needed to create and manage zones

Intelligent diagnostics and hardware-based slow-port detection

Enhance reliability, accelerate problem resolution, and reduce service costs by using Fibre Channel ping and traceroute to identify exact path and timing of flows, as well as Cisco Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and Remote SPAN (RSPAN) and Cisco Fabric Analyzer to capture and analyze network traffic

Virtual output queuing

Help ensure line-rate performance on each port by eliminating head-of-line blocking

High-performance ISLs

Optimize bandwidth utilization by aggregating up to 16 physical ISLs into a single logical PortChannel bundle with multipath load balancing

ISSU

Reduce downtime for planned maintenance and software upgrades
