With the Cisco® MDS 9710 Multilayer Director (Figure 1), you’ll meet the stringent requirements of large virtualized storage environments. As a director-class SAN switch, the MDS 9710 uses the same operating system and management interface as other Cisco data center switches. It brings intelligent capabilities to a high-performance, protocol-independent switch fabric. You’ll gain uncompromising availability, security, and scalability; simplified management; and the capability to flexibly integrate new technologies.
Cisco MDS 9710 Multilayer Director
The MDS 9710 offers the following features:
● Outstanding speed: The combination of the 16-Gbps, 32-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module and MDS 9710 Crossbar Switching Fabric-3 Module enables up to 3.5 Terabits per second (Tbps) of front-panel Fibre Channel throughput between modules in each direction for each of the eight MDS 9710 payload slots. Based on central arbitration and a crossbar fabric, the MDS 9710 architecture provides line-rate, nonblocking, predictable performance for all traffic conditions for every port up to the future 64-Gbps speed in the chassis.
● High availability: Get best-in-class availability. The MDS 9710 is the first director-class switch in which all major components, even the fabric card, are redundant. Obtain grid redundancy with the power supply and 1+1 redundant supervisors, and add another fabric card to enable N+1 fabric redundancy (32-Gbps).
● The MDS 9710 combines nondisruptive software upgrades, stateful process restart and failover, and full redundancy of all major components for best-in-class availability.
● Fully integrated SAN analytics: This best-in-class enterprise switch also offers state-of-the-art SAN analytics and telemetry capabilities that have been built into this next-generation hardware platform. This new state-of-the-art technology couples the next-generation port ASIC with a fully dedicated network processor (NPU) designed to complete analytics calculations in real time on the 32-Gbps line card. This new capability is extended due to the hardware capabilities of the 48-port 32-Gbps line card (DS-X9648-1536K9). The telemetry data extracted from the inspection of the frame headers are calculated on board (within the switch) and, using an industry-leading open format, can be streamed to any analytics-visualization platform.
● Industry-leading scalability: Power the largest storage environments with up to 24 Tbps of Fibre Channel bandwidth. A single chassis delivers 384 2/4/8-Gbps, 4/8/16-Gbps, 8/16/32-Gbps full line-rate, or 10-Gbps full line-rate autosensing Fibre Channel over Ethernet ports, and a single rack supports up to 1152 Fibre Channel ports.
● Future readiness: With the long-lasting chassis, customers have the flexibility of doing in-place, online upgrades to the new fabric module, MDS 9710 Crossbar Switching Fabric-3 Module. With the new fabric switching modules, the switch can be upgraded to support 64-Gbps line-rate ports. MDS 9710 Crossbar Switching Fabric-3 Module supports double the bandwidth of Fabric-1 and thus only half the number is needed to support currently shipping 32-Gbps line cards.
● Intelligent network services: Migrate your SAN islands to enterprise-wide storage networks with VSAN technology, Access Control Lists (ACLs) for hardware-based intelligent frame processing, and fabric-wide Quality of Service (QoS).
◦ Integrated hardware-based VSANs and Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR): Integration of VSANs into port-level hardware allows any port in a system or fabric to be partitioned to any VSAN. Deliver line-rate routing between any ports in a system or fabric without the need for external routing appliances.
◦ Intelligent storage services: Interoperability with intelligent service capabilities on other Cisco MDS 9000 Family platforms and the intelligent services switch provide services such as acceleration of storage applications for data replication, backup, and data migration to hosts and targets.
◦ Smart Zoning: Efficiently provision hardware access control entries specified by the zone set. Match smart zones to applications, application clusters, hypervisor clusters, or other data center entities. Avoid superfluous entries that allow servers (initiators) to talk to other servers or storage devices (targets) to talk to other storage devices. You’ll gain larger zones with multiple initiators and targets without consuming excessive hardware resources. Automate zoning tasks and avoid creating many small zones.
● Virtual machine transparency: Deterministic hardware performance and a comprehensive feature set allow virtual machines to have the same SAN attributes as a physical server. On a per-virtual machine basis, the Cisco NX-OS Software offers VSANs, QoS policies, access control, performance monitoring, and data protection to promote the scalability and mobility of virtual machines. Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) provides end-to-end visibility all the way from the virtual machine down to the storage resource, with resource allocation, performance measurements, and predictions available on a per-virtual machine basis to enable rapid troubleshooting in mission-critical virtualized environments.
● Comprehensive security: In addition to support for services such as VSANs, hardware-enforced zoning, ACLs, per-VSAN Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and Cisco TrustSec® Fibre Channel link encryption, Cisco MDS 9700 Series Multilayer Directors support a comprehensive security framework consisting of RADIUS and TACACS+, Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3). Cisco TrustSec Fibre Channel link-encryption delivers transparent, hardware-based 16-Gbps or 32-Gbps line-rate encryption of Fibre Channel data in addition to 10-Gbps line-rate encryption.
● Unified SAN management: The MDS 9700 Series includes built-in storage network management with all features available through a Command-Line Interface (CLI) or Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), a centralized management tool that simplifies management of unified fabrics. DCNM supports integration with third-party storage management applications to allow transparent interaction with existing management tools. DCNM supports federation of up to 10 DCNM servers to manage up to 150,000 devices using a single management pane.
● Sophisticated diagnostics: Intelligent diagnostics, protocol decoding, network analysis tools, and the Cisco Call Home capability give you reliability, faster problem resolution, and reduced service costs. Starting with Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS Release 6.2, the Cisco Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD) framework replaces the Cisco Online Health Management System (OHMS) diagnostic framework on the new MDS 9700 Series chassis. GOLD is a suite of diagnostic tools that you can use to verify that hardware and internal data paths are operating properly. It offers boot-time diagnostics, continuous monitoring, standby fabric loopback tests, and on-demand and scheduled tests. Enable the rapid fault isolation and system monitoring that are critical in today's continuously operating environments.
● Multiprotocol architecture: A multilayer architecture enables a consistent feature set over a protocol-independent switch fabric. The MDS 9710 transparently integrates Fibre Channel, FCoE, and FICON.
◦ 2/4/8-Gbps, 4/8/16-Gbps, 8/16/32-Gbps, 10-Gbps Fibre Channel, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet: The MDS 9710 supports 2/4/8/16-Gbps and 10-Gbps ports on the Cisco MDS 9700 48-Port 16-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module for both open-systems and FICON environments. The MDS 9710 also supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet clocked optics carrying Fibre Channel traffic. The MDS 9710 supports 4/8/16/32-Gbps on the Cisco MDS 9700 48-Port 32-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module.
◦ FICON: The MDS 9710 is mainframe ready and supports for IBM System z FICON and Linux environments.
◦ Multihop FCoE: Extend connectivity from FCoE and Fibre Channel fabrics to FCoE and Fibre Channel storage devices.
◦ SAN Extension FCIP support: The Cisco MDS 9000 24/10-Port SAN Extension Module is supported on MDS 9700 Series Multilayer Directors. With 24 line-rate 2/4/8/10/16-Gbps Fibre Channel ports and eight 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet FCIP ports, this module enables deployment of large and scalable SAN extension solutions.
Reduce total cost of ownership with SAN consolidation
With the amount of data growing exponentially, organizations need efficient, cost-effective, large-scale SANs. Scale while managing your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with industry-leading port densities of up to 384 32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports per chassis. Deploy 1.5-Tbps front-panel Fibre Channel performance per slot and up to 24-Tbps front-panel Fibre Channel line-rate nonblocking system-level switching. Deploy intelligent fabric services, VSANs for consolidating physical SAN islands while maintaining logical boundaries, and IVR for sharing resources across VSANs. Consolidate your data into fewer, larger, and more manageable SANs, thus reducing the hardware footprint and associated Capital Expenditures (CapEx) and Operating Expenses (OpEx). On unified fabrics with converged LAN and SAN environments using lossless Ethernet, multihop FCoE protects your investments in existing storage infrastructure with any-to-any connectivity across multiple protocols.
Enterprise-class availability
The MDS 9710 is designed from the beginning for high availability. In addition to meeting the basic requirements of nondisruptive software upgrades and redundancy of all critical hardware components, the MDS 9710 software architecture offers outstanding availability. The Cisco MDS 9700 Series Supervisor-1 Module automatically restarts failed processes, making the MDS 9710 exceptionally robust. In the rare event that a supervisor module is reset, complete synchronization between the active and standby supervisor modules helps ensure stateful failover with no disruption of traffic.
The MDS 9710 is the first in the industry to provide redundancy on all major hardware components, as detailed in Table 1.
Table 1. Cisco MDS 9710 redundancy

| Fabrics |
N+1 redundancy |
High availability is implemented at the fabric level using robust and high-performance Inter-Switch Links (ISLs). The port-channel capability allows you aggregate up to 16 physical links into one logical bundle. The bundle can consist of any speed-matched ports in the chassis, helping ensure that the bundle can remain active in the event of a port, Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), or module failure. ISLs in a port channel can have significantly different lengths. This capability is valuable in campus and Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) environments, because logical links can now be spread over multiple physical paths, helping ensure uninterrupted connectivity even if one of the physical paths is disrupted. The MDS 9710 provides outstanding high availability, helping ensure that solutions exceed the 99.999 percent uptime requirements of today’s most demanding environments.
Business transformation with enterprise cloud deployment
With industry-leading scalability and pay-as-you-grow flexibility, the MDS 9710 enables you to quickly scale enterprise clouds up or down as needed. You also receive these benefits:
● Multihop FCoE provisions storage in a multiprotocol unified fabric.
● Robust security protects multitenancy cloud applications.
● Predictable high performance meets stringent Service-Level Agreements (SLAs).
● Resilient connectivity helps ensure always-on cloud infrastructure.
● Advanced traffic management capabilities, such as QoS, quickly and cost-efficiently allocate elastic network capabilities to cloud applications.
Furthermore, Cisco DCNM provides resource monitoring and capacity planning on a per-virtual machine basis. You can efficiently:
● Consolidate enterprise cloud deployments.
● Federate up to 10 DCNM servers to easily manage large-scale clouds.
● Use information through Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S)–based developer APIs to deliver IT as a service.
Advanced traffic management
Deploy and optimize large-scale fabrics more easily:
● Virtual Output Queue (VOQ): Help ensure line-rate performance on each port, independent of traffic pattern, by eliminating head-of-line blocking.
● Up to 4095 buffer-to-buffer credits: Using extended credits, allocate up to 4095 buffer credits from a pool of more than 6000 buffer credits for a module to ports as needed to greatly extend the distance for Fibre Channel SANs. Alternatively, assign up to 4095 buffer credits to an individual port for optimal bandwidth utilization across distances.
● Port channels: Aggregate up to 16 physical ISLs into a single logical bundle, providing optimized bandwidth utilization across all links. The bundle can consist of any speed-matched ports from any module in the chassis, helping ensure that the bundle can remain active even in the event of a module failure. The MDS 9000 Family switch architecture helps ensure that frames can never be reordered within a switch.
● Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF)–based multipathing: Provide the intelligence to load-balance traffic across up to 16 Fibre Channel or FCoE equal-cost paths and, in the event of a switch failure, dynamically reroute traffic.
● Quality of Service (QoS): Use QoS to manage bandwidth and control latency to prioritize critical traffic.
Ease of management
The MDS 9710 provides three modes of management: the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI, Cisco DCNM, and integration with third-party storage management tools.
Adhering to the syntax of the widely known Cisco IOS® Software CLI, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI is consistent and easy to learn and delivers broad management capabilities. The MDS 9000 Family CLI provides optimal capabilities: for instance, you can enable debugging modes for each switch feature and view a real-time updated activity log of control protocol exchanges. Log entries are time-stamped and listed in chronological order.
Cisco DCNM is the network’s industry’s first converged SAN and LAN management solution. It lets you manage all NX-OS devices, including the MDS 9000 Family and Cisco Fabric-3 Family products. Its intuitive GUI simplifies day-to-day operations of Cisco unified fabrics in virtualized data center environments.
DCNM offers such functions as:
● Monitoring of events and performance historically and at scale.
● Wizard- and template-based provisioning of NX-OS technologies and services.
● Cisco VMpath analytics, with dynamic topology views for extended visibility into virtual infrastructure.
● Resource management through trend analysis of inventory and performance.
● Rule-based event notification and filtering.
● RBAC to provide separation between network and storage teams.
You can scale to large deployments through scale-out server architecture with automated failover capability. Provide a resilient management system that centralizes infrastructure and path monitoring across geographically dispersed data centers. The DCNM base management function is available at no charge, and advanced features are unlocked with a license. The application can be installed on Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems and supports both PostgreSQL and Oracle databases.
Comprehensive solution for robust security
The extensive security framework of the MDS 9710 protects sensitive data crossing enterprise networks. It provides intelligent, port-level packet inspection, including the use of ACLs for hardware enforcement of zones, VSANs, and advanced port security features. VSANs are used to achieve greater security and stability by providing complete isolation of devices that are connected to the same physical SAN. IVR enables controlled sharing of resources between VSANs. In addition, FC-SP provides switch-to-switch and host-to-switch Diffie-Hellman Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (DH-CHAP) support for RADIUS and TACACS+. This feature helps ensure that only authorized devices access protected storage networks. To further protect traffic within and between data centers, Cisco TrustSec Fibre Channel link encryption, available in the MDS 9700 Series 16-Gbps and 32-Gbps modules, lets you transparently encrypt ISLs at up to line-rate speeds.
Advanced diagnostics and troubleshooting tools
To manage large-scale storage networks, you need proactive diagnostics tools, tools to verify connectivity and route latency, and traffic analysis tools. We deliver a comprehensive tool set for analyzing, troubleshooting, and debugging storage networks. Power-On Self-Test (POST) and online diagnostics proactively monitor system health. Identify the exact path and timing of flows with capabilities such as Fibre Channel traceroute. Capture network traffic using Cisco Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and Remote SPAN (RSPAN). Then analyze traffic with the Cisco Fabric Manager – Cisco Traffic Analyzer, an embedded Fibre Channel analyzer. You’ll gain sophisticated performance analysis and SLA-accounting capabilities by collecting port-based and flow-based statistics.
Convergence with multihop FCoE
FCoE allows an evolutionary approach to network and I/O convergence and lets you preserve all Fibre Channel constructs; maintain the latency, security, and traffic management attributes of Fibre Channel; and preserve your investments in Fibre Channel tools, training, and SANs. Sharing the same operating system and management plane as the Cisco Nexus switches, the MDS 9710 coexists invisibly in a unified fabric with any-to-any connectivity for Fibre Channel and FCoE.
Integrated mainframe support
The MDS 9710 fully supports IBM System z FICON and Linux environments. It supports FICON protocol transport in both cascaded and noncascaded fabrics, as well as an intermix of FICON and open-systems Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) traffic on the same switch. IBM Control Unit Port (CUP) enables in-band management of MDS 9000 Family switches from mainframe management applications. A fabric-binding feature helps ensure that ISLs are enabled only between specified switches in the fabric-binding configuration.
