Cisco Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS Software Release 6.2

The Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 6.2(11b) is a maintenance release that includes bug fixes. It does not include new features.

This section briefly describes the new hardware features introduced in Cisco NX-OS Release 6.2(9). 

The Cisco MDS 9706 (DS-C9706) supports up to 192 ports in a 6-slot modular chassis, with up to 768 ports in a single 
rack. You can configure ports as Fibre Channel (2/4/8-Gbps, 4/8/16-Gbps, or 10-Gbps), FCoE (10-Gbps), or a mix of both 
Fibre Channel and FCoE. The Cisco MDS 9706 supports the same Fibre Channel and FCoE switching modules as the Cisco 
MDS 9710 director for a high degree of system commonality.

The Cisco MDS 9148S Multilayer Fabric Switch (DS-C9148S48PK9) is the next generation of the highly reliable and 
flexible Cisco MDS 9100 Series switches. It combines high performance with exceptional flexibility and 
cost-effectiveness. A powerful compact one rack-unit (1RU) form factor can scale from 12 to 48 line-rate 16 Gbps Fibre 
Channel ports.
