50 Ports - 8 Gbit/s - 10 Gigabit Ethernet - 8 x Total Expansion Slots - SFP+ - Manageable - Rack-mountable - 2U
• SAN consolidation with integrated multiprotocol support: The Cisco MDS 9250i is available in a base configuration of 20 ports of 16-Gbps Fibre Channel for high-performance SAN connectivity, 2 ports of 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet for FCIP and Small Computer System Interface over IP (iSCSI) storage services, and 8 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet for FCoE connectivity. • High-density Fibre Channel switch with 16-Gbps connectivity: The Cisco MDS 9250i scales up to 40 ports of 16-Gbps Fibre Channel in a fixed configuration switch. The base configuration comes with 20 ports of 16-Gbps Fibre Channel enabled for high-performance SAN connectivity, and it can be upgraded onsite to enable additional 20 ports of 16-Gbps Fibre Channel by adding the Cisco MDS 9250i On-Demand Port Activation license. Additionally, the Cisco MDS 9250i cost-effectively scales up for IBM Fibre Connection (FICON) mainframe environments. • Intelligent application services engine: • The Cisco MDS 9250i includes as standard a single application services engine that enables the included Cisco SAN Extension over IP software solution package to run on the two fixed 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet storage services ports. The Cisco SAN Extension over IP package provides an integrated, cost-effective, and reliable business-continuance solution that uses IP infrastructure by offering FCIP for remote SAN extension, along with a variety of advanced features to optimize the performance and manageability of FCIP links. • Hardware-based virtual fabric isolation with Virtual SANs (VSANs) and Fibre Channel routing with Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR):
Key specifications: Manageable: Yes · Compatible Rack Unit: 2U · Height: 3.8" mm · Width: 17.2" mm · Depth: 21.4" mm · Form Factor: Rack-mountable · Weight (Approximate): 22.40 lb g · Hot Swappable Power Supply: Yes.

- Hardware-based virtual fabric isolation with Virtual SANs (VSANs) and Fibre Channel routing with Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR):
- VSANs and IVR enable deployment of large-scale multisite and heterogeneous SAN topologies. Integration into port-level hardware allows any port in a system or in a fabric to be partitioned into any VSAN. Included in the optional Cisco MDS 9000 Enterprise advanced software package, IVR provides line-rate routing between any of the ports in a system or in a fabric without the need for external routing appliances.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Cisco MDS 9250i 50 port switch base config bundle with 20 8G FC SFPs - 50 Ports - 8 Gbit/s - 10 Gigabit Ethernet - 8 x Total Expansion Slots - SFP+ - Manageable - Rack-mountable - 2U (DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9) cost?
Uniqcli sells the DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9 for $62,470.05 against a Cisco list price of $90,355.64. Add it to your cart and submit to confirm current pricing, stock, and lead time. Lower pricing is available for volume orders, Government Purchase Card (GPC) buys, and emergency or urgent acquisitions. Free US shipping on orders over $2,500.00.
Is the DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9 TAA compliant and available for government and DoD buyers?
Often yes, but it depends on the unit. Cisco manufactures the DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9 in several countries, so Trade Agreements Act (TAA) status varies by production lot. Uniqcli is an authorized Cisco partner: we confirm the country of origin before shipment, and if a given DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9 is not TAA-designated, we will source a TAA-certified equivalent of the same model. Either way the result is DoDIN APL-ready procurement for US federal, DoD, state, local, education, healthcare, and enterprise buyers, with Government Purchase Card (GPC) acceptance and FAR-based urgent and emergency acquisition support. Request a TAA-compliant quote for the DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9 and a specialist will confirm compliance, price, and lead time, usually within one business day.
Can I buy the DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9 as a single unit or in volume?
Both. Order a single DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9 through the cart, or ask about lower pricing for volume orders, Government Purchase Card (GPC) purchases, and emergency or urgent (FAR-based) acquisitions. There is no payment up front: we confirm availability and the final total before invoicing.
Where can I find the DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9 datasheet and specifications?
The DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9 datasheet is on this page: open the gated document for the full PDF. The specifications section also lists ports, power, and dimensions where Cisco publishes them.
Need the DS-C9250ID8GSFPK9 TAA-compliant for federal or DoD?
Cisco builds this model in multiple countries, so TAA status depends on the production lot. We confirm country of origin before shipment, and if a unit isn't TAA-designated, we'll quote a TAA-certified equivalent of the same model, DoDIN APL-ready and GPC-payable.
