Cisco MDS 9134 Multilayer Fabric Switch
The Cisco
®
MDS 9134 Multilayer Fabric Switch (Figure 1), designed for midrange to large enterprise customers,
provides line-rate 4-Gbps and 10-Gbps ports based on a purpose-built "switch-on-a-chip" application-specific
integrated circuit (ASIC) with high performance, high density, and enterprise-class availability. The switch offers
outstanding value by providing flexibility, high-availability, security, and ease of use at an affordable price in a
compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor. With the flexibility to expand from 24 to 32 ports in 8-port increments and
optionally activate 2 10-Gbps ports, the Cisco MDS 9134 offers the densities required for top-of-the-rack switch and
edge connectivity in enterprise SANs. The Cisco MDS 9134 offers non-blocking architecture, with all 32 4-Gbps ports
and the 2 10-Gbps ports operating at line rate concurrently.
The 10-Gbps ports support a range of optics for connection to the Cisco MDS 9000 family core using 10-Gbps Inter-
Switch Link (ISL) connectivity. The Cisco MDS 9134 can also be stacked using copper CX4 X2 transceivers to cost
effectively offer up to 64-port densities. The Cisco MDS 9134 supports quick configuration and task wizards that
allow it to be deployed quickly and easily in networks of any size. Powered by Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS/SAN-OS
Software, it includes advanced storage networking features and functions and is compatible with Cisco MDS 9500
Series Multilayer Directors and Cisco MDS 9200 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches, providing transparent, end-to-end
service delivery in core-edge deployments.

Highlights
●
Exceptional flexibility and scalability: The Cisco MDS 9134 offers up to 32 autosensing Fibre Channel ports
capable of speeds of 4, 2, and 1 Gbps and 2 10-Gbps ports in a compact 1RU form-factor chassis with 4
Gbps of dedicated bandwidth for each port and an aggregate platform bandwidth of 352 Gbps. The base
configuration has 24 active ports with the flexibility to upgrade onsite to 32 ports in 8-port increments with
Cisco MDS 9134 On-Demand Port Activation Licenses.
●
High-performance connectivity: The 10-Gbps ports can be activated independently in 24- or 32-port
configurations. The Cisco MDS 9134 is an ideal platform for a standalone departmental storage area network
(SAN) switch, top-of-the-rack switch, and edge switch in enterprise core-edge SANs. Two Cisco MDS 9134
switches can be stacked together using copper CX4 X2 transceivers to form up to a 64-port switch.
●
Intelligent storage networking services at an affordable price: The Cisco MDS 9134, powered by Cisco MDS
9000 NX-OS/SAN-OS Software, offers intelligent storage networking capabilities such as virtual SANs
(VSANs), PortChannels, quality of service (QoS), and security for cost-effective design, deployment, and
management of departmental and enterprise SANs.
●
Highly available platform for mission-critical deployments: The Cisco MDS 9134 is designed for environments
where downtime is unacceptable. It offers nondisruptive software upgrades, dual hot-swappable power
supplies (with integrated fans for redundancy), hot-swappable fans, VSANs for fault isolation, and
PortChannels for ISL resiliency.
●
Comprehensive security framework: The Cisco MDS 9134 supports RADIUS and TACACS+, port security,
fabric binding, Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) host-to-switch and switch-to-switch authentication,
