Server and Uplink Ports on the 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect

Each6100 series fabric interconnect has a set of ports in a fixed port module that you canconfigure as either
serverports or uplink Ethernet ports. These ports are not reserved. They cannot be used by a Cisco UCS
domainuntil you configure them. You can add expansion modules to increase the number of uplink ports on
thefabric interconnect or to add uplink Fibre Channelports to the fabric interconnect.
Youneed to create LAN pin groups and SAN pin groups to pin traffic from servers to an uplink port.
