Cisco UCS 6332 1RU FI/12 QSFP+
Part Number: UCS-SP-FI6332
OVERVIEW
The Cisco UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects are a core part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, providing both network connectivity and management capabilities for the system. The Cisco UCS 6300 Series offers line-rate, low-latency, lossless 40-Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel functions, as well as unified ports capable of either Ethernet or Fibre Channel operation. The Cisco UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects provide the management and communication backbone for the Cisco UCS B-Series and C-Series servers. All servers attached to the Cisco UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects become part of a single, highly available management domain. In addition, by supporting unified fabric, the Cisco UCS 6300 Series provides both the LAN and SAN connectivity for all blades within its domain.
From a networking perspective, the Cisco UCS 6300 Series uses a cut-through architecture, supporting deterministic, low-latency, line-rate 40-Gigabit Ethernet on all ports, switching capacity of up to 2.56 Tbps, and 320-Gbps bandwidth per chassis, independent of packet size and enabled services. The product family supports Cisco® low-latency, lossless 40-Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric capabilities, which increase the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks. The fabric interconnect supports multiple traffic classes over a lossless Ethernet fabric from the blade through the interconnect.
Cisco UCS 6332 32-Port Fabric Interconnect
The Cisco UCS 6332 32-Port Fabric Interconnect is a one-rack-unit (1RU) 40-GbE switch offering up to 2.56
Tbps full-duplex throughput. The switch has 32 40-Gbps QSFP+ ports, which operate as follows:
■ Ports 1—4 can operate as 40-Gbps QSFP+ ports, or as 4 x 10 Gbps SFP+ breakout ports, or can be optionally outfitted with Quad to SFP (QSA) adapters to provide 10 Gbps operation.
■ Ports 5—12 and 15—26 can operate as 40-Gbps QSFP+ ports, or as 4 x 10 Gbps SFP+ breakout ports, or can be optionally outfitted with Quad to SFP (QSA) adapters to provide 10 Gbps operation.
■ Ports 13 and 14 can operate as 40-Gbps QSFP+ ports. They cannot operate as 4 x 10 Gbps SFP+ breakout ports.
■ Ports 27—32 are dedicated 40 Gbps QSFP+ operation.
