Overview

Cisco MDS 9216A Multilayer Fabric Switch

The Cisco MDS 9216A Multilayer Fabric Switch shares a consistent architecture with the MDS 9500 series Directors and offers the same multilayer intelligence in a modular fabric switch. Intelligent features include multi-protocol support (Fibre Channel, iSCSI, FCIP), Virtual SANs (VSANs), embedded diagnostics and role-based security. With these innovations, companies can build highly scalable, available storage networks with comprehensive security and unified management.

The MDS 9216A is fully populated out of the box with sixteen 1 and 2 Gb auto-sensing Fibre Channel ports. An expansion slot allows for the addition of an MDS 9000 Storage Networking Module available in 1, 2, 4 and 10Gb versions and in port increments of 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, or 48 ports, for up to 64 Fibre Channel ports or for FC/IP connectivity. The MPS 18/4 module along with the optional Cisco MDS 9200 Storage Media Encryption package can provide encryption for data at rest on storage tape media for added security to the SAN environment. MDS 9000 Storage Networking Modules are interchangeable between the MDS 9216A Fabric Switch, MDS 9216i Fabric Switch and MDS 9500 series directors, providing smooth migration, common sparing and investment protection.

Cisco Fabric Manager

Cisco Fabric Manager is a responsive, easy-to-use Java application that simplifies management across multiple switches and fabrics. Cisco Fabric Manager enables administrators to perform vital tasks such as topology discovery, fabric configuration and verification, LUN security, monitoring, and fault resolution. All functions are available through a secure interface, which enables remote management from any location. Cisco Fabric Manager may be used independently or in conjunction with third-party management applications. Cisco provides an extensive API for integration with third-party and user developed management tools.

Software Components, Optional
Cisco Fabric Manager Server Package	The "Standard" Cisco Fabric Manager software that is included at no charge with the MDS family switches provides basic switch configuration and troubleshooting capabilities. The Cisco Fabric Manager Server (FMS) Package extends Cisco Fabric Manager by providing historical performance data collection for network traffic hot-spot analysis, centralized management services and advanced application integration.

Cisco MDS 9200 FCIP Services License	Cisco MDS 9000 Family IP Storage Services Modules and the MDS 9000 Multiprotocol module support interconnection of remote SAN islands and extend SAN connectivity to IP-enabled servers using the FCIP services. This feature is licensed separately on a per module basis (except the MDS 9216i which includes a 2-port FCIP license for the 2 embedded 1GB Ethernet IP ports).

Cisco Enterprise Package	Cisco MDS switches have a set of advanced traffic engineering and advanced security features that are recommended for all Enterprise SANs. These features are bundled together in a management application called the Cisco MDS 9000 Enterprise Package.
Cisco MDS 9000 Family SME Package	Cisco MDS 9000 Family SME Package allows encryption of storage media (data at rest). Strong, standard IEEE AES-256 encryption for heterogeneous tape devices and VTLs as well as tape data compression are provided as a distributed fabric service.
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Mainframe Package	The Cisco MDS 9000 Family Mainframe Package is a comprehensive collection of features required for using the Cisco MDS 9200 Series switches in mainframe storage networks, including FICON protocol and CUP management, switch cascading, fabric binding, and intermixing.
