Cisco MDS 9200 Series switches have one supervisor module that includes an integrated 16-port
switching module.
Cisco MDS 9216i Switches have one supervisor module that includes an integrated switching
module with 14 Fibre Channel ports and two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Cisco MDS 9500 Series switches have two supervisor modules—one in slot 5 (sup-1) and one in slot
6 (sup-2). See
Table
10-2. When the switch powers up and both supervisor modules come up
together, the active module is the one that comes up first. The standby module constantly monitors
the active module. If the active module fails, the standby module takes over without any impact to
user traffic.
