Available Options

The Cisco MDS 9124 24-port Multilayer Fabric Switch (DS-C9124AP-K9) is a high-performance, reliable, and scalable Fibre Channel switch designed for data center environments. It supports advanced routing and switching capabilities, including:

  • Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) for efficient data center consolidation
  • Virtual SANs (VSANs) for isolation and segmentation of traffic
  • Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritization of mission-critical data
  • Multi-protocol support, including Fibre Channel, FICON, FCoE, and iSCSI
  • Advanced security features, including port security, zoning, and authentication
  • Comprehensive management features, including web-based GUI, SNMP, and CLI.

It provides 24 ports of 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel and supports up to 2,048 N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) ports, which enables multiple virtual hosts to share a single physical port. It also supports up to 128 Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) tunnels and up to 256 Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) virtual interfaces.

Access Control Lists (ACLs) for Security

Access Control Lists (ACLs) are a feature of the Cisco MDS 9124 24-port Multilayer Fabric Switch (DS-C9124AP-K9) that can be used to provide security by controlling access to the switch and to specific resources on the network.

The switch supports both standard and extended ACLs, which can be used to filter traffic based on various criteria such as source and destination IP address, protocol, and port number. The switch also supports time-based ACLs, which allow you to specify when an ACL should be active.

ACLs can be applied to individual ports or to entire VLANs, and can be used in conjunction with other security features such as port security and zoning to provide a comprehensive security solution.

The switch also has advanced security features such as the ability to configure the session limit, which helps in limiting the number of simultaneous sessions that can be established on the switch. Also, it supports Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) which can be used to control access to the switch and to specific resources on the network.

ACLs on this switch can be configured and managed through the command-line interface (CLI) or through the web-based graphical user interface (GUI).

Security and Quality of Service

The Cisco MDS 9124 24-port Multilayer Fabric Switch (DS-C9124AP-K9) provides both security and Quality of Service (QoS) features to help ensure the reliability and performance of your network.

In terms of security, the switch supports advanced features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), port security, zoning, and Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) to control access to the switch and to specific resources on the network. It also supports Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) which provides a set of security features to protect Fibre Channel SANs from unauthorized access and malicious attacks.

In terms of QoS, the switch supports features such as Class of Service (CoS) and Priority Flow Control (PFC) to prioritize and manage traffic on the network. CoS allows you to assign different levels of priority to different types of traffic, while PFC enables the switch to pause or resume the transmission of data on a specific priority level in order to prevent congestion.

The switch also supports Quality of Service (QoS) for both Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols. This allows administrators to prioritize traffic based on application requirements and network conditions.

These features can be configured and managed through the command-line interface (CLI) or through the web-based graphical user interface (GUI).
