Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2204XP Fabric Extender
The Cisco UCS 2208XP is a second-generation Fabric Extender, and shares the same form factor as the
current UCS 2100 series. The 2204XP is backwards compatible with the UCS 5108 Blade serve chassis.
The options shown in Figure 15 through Figure 18 demonstrate how the server uses these options:
■ VIC 1240 to 2204XP
■ VIC 1240 and VIC 1280 to 2204XP
■ VIC 1240 and PCIe 3rd party mezzanine to 2204XP
■ PCIe 3rd party mezzanine to 2208
In Figure 15, one port from the VIC 1240 is channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender A and one is channeled to
2204XP Fabric Extender B. The result is 10 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
