The Cisco UCS 6248 Layer 2 Daughter Card (Part Number: UCS-FI-DL2) is an essential hardware expansion module designed to upgrade the Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects with additional switching and networking capabilities. This card is primarily intended to enhance the overall network performance and scalability of the fabric interconnect, offering improved throughput for data centre environments.
Featuring a direct Layer 2 switching capability, this daughter card provides high-performance network connectivity by expanding available bandwidth. A key feature of the UCS 6248 is its ability to offload traffic from other integrated systems within the fabric architecture, ensuring that mission-critical workloads benefit from optimised workflow processing. This boosts the efficiency of unified computing systems within enterprise data centres.
The expansion module is designed with high port density and low-latency switching in mind, which contributes to faster data communication while minimising network congestion. In supporting large-scale deployments, this daughter card can work seamlessly to help create high-performance computing clusters. It is compatible with various Cisco UCS server models, delivering enhanced functionality for Layer 2 operations without requiring a complete systemic overhaul, making it a highly cost-effective upgrade for Cisco network environments.
Additionally, the UCS 6248 Layer 2 Daughter Card is engineered with a modular design, making it easy to install, configure, and manage. This modular approach also gives network administrators the flexibility they need to scale infrastructure according to dynamic application needs, offering tailored performance enhancements as required by different workloads and business demands.
