Overview

The Cisco DS-C9222I-K9 is a fixed configuration switch designed for high-performance Fibre Channel (FC) networking, compatible with Cisco MDS 9000 NX-OS Software Release 4.1(1) or later. It offers 18 ports capable of 4 Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity, providing a solid foundation for storage area networks. This switch is engineered to support a wide range of fabric services including Name Server, Internet Storage Name Server, Login Services, Public Loop, and Broadcast Fabric Configuration Server, ensuring comprehensive network management and connectivity options. Advanced functions are a key feature of the DS-C9222I-K9, with support for Virtual Storage Area Networks (VSAN), Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR), and both flow-based and zone-based Quality of Service (QoS). PortChannel capabilities allow up to 16 physical links, facilitating multipath load balancing and enhancing the efficiency and reliability of network connections. For wide-area network (WAN) extension, the switch supports up to three FCIP tunnels per port, enabling Fibre Channel over IP for remote data replication and backup. Diagnostics and troubleshooting are streamlined through a suite of tools including Power-On Self Test (POST) Diagnostics, Cisco Generic Online Diagnostics, internal port loopbacks, and the Cisco Fabric Analyzer. These features help in quickly identifying and resolving network issues, minimizing downtime.
  • Scriptable Command Line Interface (CLI), Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) Web Services API, and Cisco Device Manager GUI offer flexible programming interfaces, making the switch adaptable to various management and automation needs.
  • Supports a dense deployment of up to 980 ports per rack, optimizing space utilization in data centers.
  • Designed for durability and reliability, operating within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C and capable of withstanding non-operating temperatures from -40°C to 75°C.
The DS-C9222I-K9 measures 5.25 inches in height, 17.32 inches in width, and 22.66 inches in depth, fitting into 3 rack units and weighing 62 lbs. This compact size combined with a side-to-side airflow mechanism ensures efficient cooling and fits well in various rack configurations. The switch operates on 845 WAC power with an AC input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, accommodating a wide range of power supplies and reducing power redundancy concerns. Humidity levels are maintained between 10% to 95% (non-condensing) both in operating and non-operating conditions, ensuring the switch's performance and longevity are not compromised by environmental factors. This resilience makes the DS-C9222I-K9 suitable for deployment in a broad array of climatic conditions, maintaining consistent operation even in challenging environments. In summary, the Cisco DS-C9222I-K9 offers a blend of performance, advanced networking features, and environmental resilience, making it a suitable choice for organizations looking to build or expand their storage area networks. Its diagnostic and management tools, coupled with high port density and environmental tolerance, ensure that it can meet the demands of modern data centers.
