The Cisco MDS 9000 Port Analyzer Adapter enables passive, non-disruptive monitoring of Fibre Channel traffic by connecting to a SPAN destination port on the switch.

ACisco MDS 9000 Data Analyzer Adapter

There is no Cisco product called the 'MDS 9000 Data Analyzer Adapter' - this name does not correspond to any real device in the Cisco MDS portfolio.

BCisco MDS 9000 Port Analyzer AdapterCorrect

The Cisco MDS 9000 Port Analyzer Adapter (PAA) attaches to the SPAN destination port on a Cisco MDS switch to receive mirrored copies of Fibre Channel frames without being inserted into the live data path. Because it only processes mirrored traffic, the active storage network experiences zero disruption during analysis. This passive capture model makes the PAA the correct tool for non-intrusive FC traffic troubleshooting and monitoring.

CCisco MDS 9000 Channel Analyzer Device

There is no Cisco product called the 'MDS 9000 Channel Analyzer Device' - this is a fabricated product name.

DCisco MDS 9000 Channel Analyzer Adapter

There is no Cisco product called the 'MDS 9000 Channel Analyzer Adapter' - this name does not exist in the Cisco MDS product line.
