Module Specs The Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect Fabric Interconnect provides the management, LAN, and storage connectivity for the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis and direc t-connect rack-mount servers. It provides the same full-featured Cisco UCS management capabilities and XML API as the full-scale Cisco UCS solution in addition to integrating with Cisco UCS Central Software and Cisco UCS Director. The Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect extends the Cisco UCS architecture into environments with requirements for smaller domains. Providing the same unified server and networking capabilities as in the full-scale Cisco UCS solution, the Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect embeds the connectivity within the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis to provide a smaller domain of up to 20 servers The Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE, and Fibre Channel switch offering up to 500-Gbps throughput and up to four unified ports and one scalability port. Performance Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect: Layer 2 hardware forwarding at 500 Gbps or 375 million packets per second (mpps) MAC address table entries: 20,000 Low-latency cut-through design: Provides predictable, consistent traffic latency regardless of packet size, traffic pattern, or enabled features Layer 2 Layer 2 interconnect ports and VLAN trunks IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation Support for up to 512 VLANs and 32 Virtual SANs (VSANs) per interconnect Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Versions 1, 2, and 3 snooping Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): IEEE 802.3ad Advanced Ether Channel hashing based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information Jumbo frames on all ports (up to 9216 bytes) Pause frames (IEEE 802.3x) QoS Layer 2 IEEE 802.1p (Class of Service [CoS]) CoS trust CoS-based egress queuing Egress port-based scheduling: Deficit Weighted Round-Robin (DWRR) 16 hardware queues (8 each for unicast and multicast) High availability Two Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect Fabric Interconnects can be clustered together within the chassis to provide a highly available interconnect system Firmware upgrades can be performed on each fabric interconnect independently, allowing server connectivity to be maintained while firmware upgrades are completed Management Interconnect management using redundant 10/100/1000-Mbps management or console ports All management provided through Cisco UCS Manager; please refer to the Cisco UCS Manager data sheet for more information about management interfaces Data Center Bridging 10 Gigabit Ethernet Unified Network Fabric IEEE 802.1QPFC (per-priority pause frame support) Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBX) Protocol IEEE 802.1Qaz: Bandwidth management Unified ports All 4 SFP+ ports configurable as 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet or 2/4/8-Gbps Fibre Channel Industry standards IEEE 802.1p: CoS prioritizationIEEE 802.1Q: VLAN tagging IEEE 802.3: Ethernet IEEE 802.3ad: LACP IEEE 802.3ae: 10 Gigabit Ethernet IEEE 802.1AB LLDP SFP+ support RMON Show more
