Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect Overview

The Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects provide both network connectivity and management capabilities to the
Cisco UCS system. The fabric interconnect provides Ethernet and Fibre Channel to the servers in the system.
The servers connect to the fabric interconnect, and then to the LAN or SAN.
Each fabric interconnect runs Cisco UCS Manager software to fully manage all Cisco UCS elements. High
availability redundancy can be achieved when a fabric interconnect is connected to another fabric interconnect
through the L1 or L2 port on each device.

Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect

The Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect (FI) is a 1 RU top-of-rack switch that mounts in a standard 19-inch
rack such as the Cisco R Series rack.
The Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect has 48 10/25 Gb SFP28 ports (16 unified ports) and 6 40/100 Gb
QSFP28 ports. Each 40/100 Gb port can break out into 4 x 10/25 Gb uplink ports. The sixteen unified ports
support 10/25 GbE or 8/16/32G Fibre Channel speeds.
