The Cisco UCS 6200 Series 16-port 10Gb Unified Port Expansion Module, part number UCS-FI-E16UP=, is designed to expand the port capacity of Cisco's UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects. This module adds an additional 16 ports of 10Gb Unified Ports, allowing for increased scalability and flexibility in network operations. Each of the 16 ports is capable of operating as either an Ethernet port or a Fibre Channel port, providing versatility for various enterprise workloads.
With support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), the expansion module contributes to the efficient handling of both LAN and SAN traffic across a common interface, thereby consolidating network and storage connectivity. The module is equipped with hot-swappable capabilities, which means it can be added or removed without having to power down the entire system, ensuring minimal disruption to critical operations.
This expansion module integrates seamlessly into the Cisco UCS fabric architecture and enhances the ability of the fabric interconnect to support dense virtualised environments, high-performance workloads, and cloud infrastructures. By enabling more ports, it improves network flexibility and allows businesses to better manage traffic while facilitating future growth. The high availability features include redundancy support with optional failover to ensure stable and continuous operation, even in the event of a system failure.
