OverviewOverviewThe Cisco UCS 6454 and 64108 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 6454 and64108 offer line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10/25/40/50/100 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet(FCoE), and Fibre Channel functions.These Cisco Fabric Interconnects provide the management and communication backbone for the Cisco UCSB-Series Blade Servers, UCS 5108 B-series server chassis, UCS Managed C-Series rack servers, and UCSS-Series storage servers. All servers attached to the Cisco UCS 6454 and 64108 Fabric Interconnects becomepart of a single, highly available management domain. In addition, by supporting unified fabric, the CiscoFabric Interconnects provide both the LAN and SAN connectivity for all servers within its domain.From a networking perspective, the Cisco UCS 6454 and 64108 use a cut-through architecture, supportingdeterministic, low-latency, line-rate 10/25/40/50/100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, switching capacity of 3.82Tbps for the 6454, 7.42 Tbps for the 64108, and 200 Gbps bandwidth between the FI 6454 or 64108 and theIOM or 2408 Fabric Extender per 5108 blade chassis, independent of packet size and enabled services. Theproduct family supports Cisco low-latency, lossless 10/25/40/50/100 Gigabit Ethernet unified networkfabric capabilities, which increase the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks. TheFabric Interconnect supports multiple traffic classes over a lossless Ethernet fabric from the server throughthe Fabric Interconnect. Significant TCO savings come from an FCoE optimized server design in whichnetwork interface cards (NICs), host bus adapters (HBAs), cables, and switches can be consolidated.Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects1
Cisco UCS 6454 54-Port Fabric InterconnectCisco UCS 6454 54-Port Fabric InterconnectThe Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect (FI) is a 1-RU top-of-rack switch that mounts in a standard 19-inchrack such as the Cisco R Series rack. The 6454 is a 10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE and Fiber Channelswitch offering up to 3.82 Tbps throughput and up to 54 ports. The switch has 16 unified ports (portnumbers 1-16) that can support 10/25-Gbps SFP28 Ethernet ports or 8/16/32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports, 2810/25-Gbps Ethernet SFP28 ports (port numbers 17-44), 4 1/10/25-Gbps Ethernet SFP28 ports (portnumbers 45-48), and 6 40/100-Gbps Ethernet QSFP28 uplink ports (port numbers 49-54). All Ethernet portsare capable of supporting FCoE.The Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect also has one network management port, one console port forsetting the initial configuration, and one USB port for saving or loading configurations. The FI also includesL1/L2 ports for connecting two fabric interconnects for high availability.The 54-port chassis is shown in Figure 1.Figure 1Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect 6454 (1RU)Front ViewRear View2Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects
