Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect

CISCO UCS 6200 FABRIC INTERCONNECT SERIES STANDARD CAPABILITIES and FEATURES

Transceivers The Cisco UCS 6200 Series supports a wide variety of 10-Gigabit Ethernet

connectivity options using Cisco 10GBASE SFP+ modules. In addition, all fixed

and modular expansion ports on the Cisco UCS 6200 Series support 1 Gigabit

Ethernet connectivity options using 1GBASE SFP modules. Alternatively,

1/2/4/8 Gbps Fibre Channel interfaces are supported.

Port-based Licensing Helps enable a pay-as-you-go model, allowing customers to add capacity as

the networking needs of an individual system increase

Front-to-Back Cooling Supports efficient data center hot- and cold-aisle designs

Redundant

hot-swappable fans and

power supplies

■ Helps enable high availability in multiple configurations

■ Increases serviceability

■ Provides uninterrupted service during maintenance

Rear Ports Helps keep cable lengths short and efficient

Performance ■ Provides high-speed, low-latency connectivity to the chassis

■ Provides approximately 50% reduction in end-to-end system latency

(latency is 3.2 microseconds)

Lossless Fabric Provides a reliable, robust foundation for unifying LAN and SAN traffic on a

single transport

Priority Flow Control

(PFC)

■ Simplifies management of multiple traffic flows over a single network

link

■ Supports different classes of service, helping enable both lossless and

classic Ethernet on the same fabric

Systemwide Bandwidth

Management

Helps enable consistent and coherent quality of service (QoS) throughout the

system

Cisco Data Center

VM-FEX Technology

■ Helps enable a consistent operational model between virtual and

physical environments

■ Provides the same level of network visibility for virtualized and

nonvirtualized environments

■ Improves diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities in a virtual

environment

■ Simplifies network and security policy enforcement when migrating

virtual machines from one host to another
