Interconnect Features

A Cisco UCS 6200 series fabric interconnect is a top-of-rack fabric interconnect that provides Ethernet and
Fibre Channel to all servers in the UCS system. Servers connect to the fabric interconnect, and it connects to
the LAN or SAN.
This family of fabric interconnects connect UCS servers to 10 Gigabit Ethernet 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps Fibre
Channel networks, and provides consolidated I/O connectivity to both production Ethernet LANs and Fibre
Channel SANs in a cost-effective, high-performance, low-latency environment.
The Cisco UCS 6200 series has the following characteristics:
• The UCS 6248 UP fabric interconnect is a one-rack-unit (1 RU), 10-Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE device
• The UCS 6296 UP fabric interconnect is a two-rack-unit (2 RU), 10-Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE device
• Universal port functionality allows Ethernet or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) physical port types
• Slots on the back of the switch for an expansion module. You can use the UCS EIGUP module.
• Slots on the front of the chassis for hot swap-capable power supplies.
