Benefit

●Provides a reliable, robust foundation for unifying LAN and SAN traffic on a single transport

●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

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

●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

●Helps keep cable lengths short and efficient

●Helps enable high availability in multiple configurations

●Increases serviceability

●Provides uninterrupted service during maintenance

●Supports efficient data center hot- and cold-aisle designs

●Increases flexibility with a range of interconnect solutions, including copper Twinax cable for short runs and fiber for long runs

●Consumes less power per port than traditional solutions

●Helps enable cost-effective connections on fabric extenders with Cisco Fabric Extender Transceiver (FET) optics

●Allows all fixed and modular expansion ports to be configured to operate in 1 Gigabit Ethernet mode with the transceiver options specified for use with SFP-compatible ports in Table 3

●Helps enable a pay-as-you-go model, allowing customers to add capacity as the networking needs of an individual system increase

Product Specifications

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, 2/4/8-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ and 1/2/4-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP interfaces are supported on all ports.

Table 3 lists the supported transceiver options.
