The DS-C9148T-24IK9 is a 1U rack-mountable 32-Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) switch from the Cisco MDS 9148T Series, purpose-built for high-density, enterprise-class Storage Area Networks (SANs). It ships with 48 x 32G FC SFP+ ports (24 ports pre-activated/licensed) and supports seamless, pay-as-you-grow scalability to full 48-port capacity via incremental port licenses. Optimized for all-flash arrays and FC-NVMe workloads, it delivers non-blocking, line-rate performance with advanced telemetry, security, and reliability features in a compact, energy-efficient form factor.
48 x 32G FC SFP+ ports (24 pre-activated; upgradeable to 32/40/48 ports)
Auto-sensing 32/16/8/4 Gbps speeds for full backward compatibility
Non-blocking architecture with 1.5 Tbps aggregate full-duplex bandwidth
Ultra-low latency and enhanced buffer credits (up to 8,270 per port group) for NVMe/FC
Port-side intake (front-to-back) airflow (I-model) for standardized data center cooling
Native FC-NVMe support for next-generation flash storage architectures
Comprehensive feature set: VSANs, hardware zoning, QoS, FICON, FC-Tape
Advanced SAN analytics & telemetry built into the next-gen ASIC for performance monitoring
Smart Zoning and Automated Provisioning to simplify deployment
FIPS 140-2, Secure Boot, Anti-counterfeit technology
FC-SP authentication, RBAC, SSHv2, SNMPv3, AES encryption
Hot-swappable, redundant 650W AC power supplies and 4 x hot-swappable fans
Call Home and proactive diagnostics for high availability
Compact 1U design maximizes rack space
Energy-efficient: ~30% lower power use vs. 16G legacy switches
Managed via CLI, Cisco DCNM, SNMP, REST API
Cisco Smart Licensing for flexible port activation
