DS-C9124V-K9 identifies a managed Fibre Channel SAN switch with 24 fixed storage ports operating at 8, 16, 32, or 64Gbps. The Cisco MDS 9124V connects server HBAs and all-flash arrays through a fixed-port architecture rather than a removable uplink card, and the entry configuration starts with eight active ports. A 1U chassis accommodates storage connectivity in data center racks without requiring a modular chassis. DS-C9124V-24PEVK9 supplies a fully activated configuration for buyers who need every connector enabled at delivery. The switch can serve a standalone fabric or connect into a larger SAN through E-port links, so the required host, storage, and inter-switch connections determine the active-port configuration.

1500 Gbps aggregate bandwidth provides end-to-end full-duplex forwarding across the fabric. 166W maximum power draw gives electrical planners a switch-level requirement rather than a power-supply capacity rating. Buffer allocation supports 24000 credits across the port group, with 1000 credits per port by default and a 16000-credit maximum for one port, allowing long-distance link requirements to be checked before configuration. DS-C9124V-K9 runs Cisco NX-OS and participates in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family management environment through a serial console, SSHv2, SNMPv3, and NX-API HTTP/HTTPS. Smart Zoning controls permitted initiator-to-target communication, while diagnostics include link testing and remote transceiver error collection. Ethernet access switching is not provided: copper management connectivity does not turn the storage interfaces into LAN ports. Secure Boot protects critical startup components, and FEC supports error correction on links to compatible HBAs.
ORM Systems supplies DS-C9124V-K9 new sealed or certified refurbished; specify the required condition, active-port entitlement, and accessory quantities on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. New units carry up to 3-year extended warranty coverage, certified refurbished units up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Enterprise and volume POs are accepted, with Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock/RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When a storage refresh introduces NVMe/FC while retaining SCSI workloads, both can coexist on the same Fibre Channel link. The purchase decision therefore includes host and array protocol support, not just switch speed. Specify the required HBA, storage, and software interoperability checks before releasing the purchase order.
When ordering spares for racks with different airflow directions, match the power and cooling components before releasing the order. Port-side exhaust uses DS-CAC-500W-E= supplies with DS-C32S-FAN-E= fans; port-side intake uses DS-CAC-500W-I= supplies with DS-C32S-FAN-I= fans. Specify each spare's airflow direction on the purchase order.
When SAN Analytics forms part of acceptance testing, the software baseline must be NX-OS 9.4(1) or later. Hardware analytics capability alone does not settle the release selection. Specify the required image and verify the intended analytics integration during staging before approving the production purchase order.
More than 24 physical storage ports
The chassis is limited to 24 physical Fibre Channel ports. Port licenses activate existing connectors; they cannot add sockets beyond that fixed hardware capacity.
Ethernet access or powered endpoints
The data ports carry Fibre Channel storage traffic rather than Ethernet access traffic. RJ-45 interfaces serve management and console functions, not endpoint switching or PoE delivery.
Inter-VSAN routing without additional licensing
IVR requires an additional software entitlement; the base hardware purchase alone does not enable inter-VSAN routing. Include the required license before specifying cross-VSAN connectivity.

DS-C9124V-K9 identifies the MDS 9124V 64-Gbps fabric-switch base hardware rather than a complete airflow-specific ordering bundle. The MDS 9124V model has 24 physical Fibre Channel ports. DS-C9124V-8EK9 specifies eight active ports with port-side exhaust; DS-C9124V-8IK9 specifies eight active ports with port-side intake.
DS-C9124V-K9 is managed through the NX-OS CLI over serial console or SSHv2, SNMPv3, NX-API HTTP/HTTPS, and DCNM/NDFC integration. Management supports out-of-band Ethernet and in-band IP over Fibre Channel access. SMI-S enables third-party storage-management integration, while onboard Python and Embedded Event Manager provide additional automation paths.
DS-C9124V-K9 supports optional MDS Advantage and MDS Premier subscriptions with a one-year minimum and 1-, 3-, 5-, or 7-year terms. Advantage includes Enterprise and NDFC; Premier adds SAN Analytics. Smart Licensing Using Policy uses a Smart Account, while M9124V-PL8 separately licenses additional ports.
M9124V-PL8 activates eight additional ports on the MDS 9124V without adding a hardware module. The chassis has a fixed physical port population, so expansion is a license purchase rather than an interface-card purchase. State the required active-port total and license quantity when preparing the order.
DS-C9124V-K9 supports DS-SFP-FC64G-SW= and DS-SFP-FC64G-LW= for 64-Gbps links, with DS-SFP-FC32G-SW= and DS-SFP-FC16G-SW= among the lower-speed options. Match each transceiver to the remote device, fiber type, and supported distance. Select optics by the intended link rather than by the chassis identifier alone.
DS-C9124V-8IK9 specifies port-side intake airflow, while DS-C9124V-K9 identifies the base hardware before an airflow configuration is selected. The intake configuration suits racks drawing cold air through the port side. Base-hardware orders must state the required direction; intake-specific orders use the explicitly configured intake version.
DS-C9124V-8PETK9 includes eight DS-SFP-FC32G-SW= 32-Gbps shortwave transceivers, while DS-C9124V-K9 identifies the base hardware rather than that optics bundle. The bundle suits links requiring those transceivers and speeds. A base-hardware order must specify its transceiver population separately from the switch identifier to establish the required optical configuration.
DS-C9124V-24PEVK9 activates all 24 ports, while entry configurations built on DS-C9124V-K9 start with eight active ports. Both use the same MDS 9124V chassis. The fully activated bundle suits orders needing the complete port population immediately; the entry configuration suits purchases that stage additional port activation.
Yes, MDS 9124V supports NVMe/FC and existing SCSI workloads on the same Fibre Channel link. A storage migration does not require dedicating separate switch hardware to each protocol. Host adapters, storage systems, and the selected software must still support the intended workloads and interoperability requirements.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for MDS 9124V. The 64-Gbps MDS 9124V is distinct from older similarly numbered switches. Use the complete hardware identifier and selected ordering configuration when arranging support, since model identity and purchased entitlements must remain aligned.
ORM supplies DS-C9124V-K9 new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's hardware warranty is separate from ORM coverage. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, firmware verified, and wiped to factory default.
Yes, DS-C9124V-K9 needs a release check because NX-OS 9.4(4) can reload after an ungraceful mgmt0 link failure or flapping event. Avoid accepting that affected release without remediation. NX-OS 9.4(3b) provides a downgrade workaround when an immediate upgrade is unavailable; include the approved release in acceptance requirements.
