Product Review

The Cisco DS-C9396S-48EK9 switch offers 48 active ports with port speeds ranging from 2 to 16 Gbps, supporting autosensing and up to 16 physical links in port channels, making it suitable for high-speed network environments. Its security features, including VSAN fabric isolation and hardware zoning by Access Control Lists, along with FC-SP switch-to-switch and host-to-switch authentication, ensure secure data transactions. However, the maximum buffer credit of 500 per port without an Enterprise License, which can be extended up to 4095 with the license, may require additional investment for optimal performance in large-scale deployments.

Overview

The Cisco DS-C9396S-48EK9 is a high-performance, 2 RU size fiber channel switch designed for data centers, offering scalability and security. With 48 active ports, this switch supports a variety of port speeds including 2, 4, 8, 10, and 16 Gbps autosensing, making it versatile for different network needs. The port side exhaust ensures efficient airflow from back to front, aligning with the thermal management practices of modern data centers. This model is equipped with comprehensive security features such as VSAN fabric isolation, hardware zoning by Access Control Lists, and the Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) for both switch-to-switch and host-to-switch authentication. These features ensure a secure networking environment, safeguarding data against unauthorized access. The port channel capability of this switch can combine up to 16 physical links into a single logical link, providing higher bandwidth and link redundancy. Buffer credits can be extended up to 500 per port without an Enterprise License, and up to 4095 per port with an optional Enterprise License, enhancing the performance and efficiency of long-distance Fibre Channel connections. For ease of management and automation, the DS-C9396S-48EK9 offers a scriptable CLI and support for Cisco Prime DCNM Web Services API, allowing network administrators to manage the switch through advanced programming interfaces and integrate with existing network management tools. - Size and Weight: The switch dimensions are 3.4 x 17.42 x 22.28 inches, fitting well into a standard 19-inch rack, and weighs 39.24 lbs. - Power Efficiency: It operates on an input AC power range of 100 to 240 VAC, accommodating varying power supplies and contributing to its efficiency in different operational environments. - Environmental Tolerance: Designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C and a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C. It can function at altitudes up to 2,000 meters, with an operating relative humidity range of 10% to 90% non-condensing and a storage relative humidity range of 10% to 95% non-condensing. The Cisco DS-C9396S-48EK9 is built to accommodate the demanding needs of large-scale data centers, offering not only a high density of ports but also ensuring that data remains secure while providing the flexibility to adapt to varying bandwidth demands.
