Network Diagram - Cisco UCS 5100 Configuration Manual

•
Server PortsServer Ports handle data traffic between the Fabric Interconnect and the adapter cards
on the servers.
You can only configure Server Ports on the fixed port module. Expansion modules do not support
Server Ports.
•
Uplink Ethernet PortsUplink Ethernet Ports connect to external LAN Switches. Network bound
Ethernet traffic is pinned to one of these ports.
You can configure Uplink Ethernet Ports on either the fixed module or an expansion module.
•
Uplink Fibre Channel PortsUplink Fibre Channel Ports connect to external SAN Switches.
Network bound Fibre Channel traffic is pinned to one of these ports.
You can only configure Uplink Fibre Channel Ports on an expansion module. The fixed module does
not include Uplink Fibre Channel Ports.
This task describes only one method that is available to configure ports. You can also configure ports through
a right−click menu or from the General tab for the port..
