- Six crossbar switching fabric slots, central to its high throughput capabilities.
The DS-C9710 supports a front-panel fiber channel switching bandwidth of up to 24 Tbps and an FCoE bandwidth of 21 Tbps, catering to the demands of extensive data throughput and storage networking. It houses three fan trays behind the chassis for optimal cooling, along with eight power supply bays to support its high power requirements.
Fabric services integrated into the system include Name Server, Registered State Change Notification (RSCN), Login Services, Fabric Configuration Server (FCS), and Broadcast, among others. The switch also features advanced functions such as VSAN, IVR, Port Channel with Multipath Load Balancing, and N-Port ID Virtualization, enhancing its network management and efficiency.
For diagnostics and troubleshooting, the DS-C9710 comes equipped with POST Diagnostics, Online Diagnostics, Internal Port Loopbacks, SPAN and RSPAN, and Fibre Channel Traceroute. Network security is bolstered through the implementation of VSANs, ACLs, Per-VSAN RBAC, and Fibre Channel Zoning, ensuring secure data transmission across the network.
Programming interfaces include a scriptable CLI, Cisco Data Center Network Manager Web Services API, and Cisco DCNM GUI, offering flexible management options for network administrators.
The switch's electrical specifications are designed for global compatibility, with an input AC voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, an input AC current rating of 16 A, and a frequency range of 50 to 60 Hz. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 70 °C. The DS-C9710 maintains operational reliability from an altitude of -197 to 6500 feet and has a non-operating and storage humidity of 10% to 95% (noncondensing).
Physically, the switch measures 24.35 x 17.3 x 34.0 inches, fitting into a 14 RU space in a standard rack, and weighs 185.5 lbs, reflecting its substantial build and capacity.
- Front-Panel Fiber Channel Switching Bandwidth up to 24 Tbps
- FCoE Bandwidth 21 Tbps
- Operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C
