The Cisco MDS 9396S Switch (DS-C9396S-96E8K9) includes various security and access control features that can be used to protect the switch and the connected devices. These features include:
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): ACLs can be used to control access to the switch based on various parameters, such as source IP address, destination IP address, and protocol.
- Port Security: Port security can be used to limit the number of devices that can be connected to a specific port, and to control access based on MAC address.
- Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): SSH and SSL can be used to encrypt communications between the switch and management devices, preventing unauthorized access.
- RADIUS and TACACS+: These protocols can be used to authenticate users and control access to the switch based on user credentials.
- Virtual SANs (VSANs): VSANs can be used to segment the SAN into multiple isolated networks, providing an additional layer of security.
- FC-NVMe security: FC-NVMe security can be used to encrypt the NVMe traffic between hosts and storage devices.
All these features are helping to protect the switch and the connected devices, limiting the access and encrypting the data transfer making it more secure.
Network Connectivity OptionsThe Cisco MDS 9396S Switch (DS-C9396S-96E8K9) is a Fibre Channel switch, which means it provides connectivity for Fibre Channel devices such as storage arrays and servers.
The switch has 96 ports, which can be configured as Fibre Channel ports. Each port supports data rates of 8, 16, or 32 Gbps, providing high-speed connectivity for storage devices. The switch also supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) which allows the use of a single network infrastructure for both storage and data traffic.
Additionally, the switch also provides the following network connectivity options:
- Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF): The switch can be configured as a Fibre Channel forwarder, which allows it to forward Fibre Channel traffic between different Fibre Channel fabrics.
- Virtual SANs (VSANs): The switch supports VSANs, which can be used to segment the SAN into multiple isolated networks.
- Fibre Channel Routing (FCR): The switch supports Fibre Channel Routing which enables the switch to route Fibre Channel traffic between different Fibre Channel fabrics.
- FC-NVMe: The switch also support NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC-NVMe) which allows host to access the NVMe storage devices directly over FC networks.
All these options are providing the flexibility for the network connectivity, adding more scalability, reliability, and performance to your storage area network.
