Virtual Connect FlexFabric Module
It is important to note how the external uplink ports on the Flexfabric module are
configured. The graphic below outlines the type and speed each port can be configured
as:
 Ports X1 – X8; Can be configured as 1Gb or 10Gb Ethernet or FCoE
 Ports X7 and or X8; are used for cross connections for horizontal stacking.
Only one port is needed – two if you want redundancy.
 Uplink Ports X1-X8 support 0.5–15m length DAC as stacking or uplink. If
greater lengths are required, fibre optic cables would be required
