Hi,

We have Cisco 6120UP FI device it has one expansion bay slot. I can see 8 ports on that.

1. Out of Eight slots can i able use only 4 ports as FC ports?

2. Out of Eight slots can i able use only 4 ports as Ethernet and FCoE ports?

3.Can i use 8 ports as FC ports ?

4. Can use 8 ports as Ethernet and FCoE Ports?

5. Is Possible to use 4 FC ports and 4 Ethernet and FCoE Ports?

Thanks in advance

There are 4 different models of expansion modules, which one do you have

see http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-5100-series-blade-server-chassis/data_sheet_c78-524724.html

Figure 4. From Left to Right: 8-Port 1/2/4-Gbps Native Fibre Channel Expansion Module; 4-Port Fibre Channel plus 4-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module; 6-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module; and 6-Port 1/2/4/8-Gbps Native Fibre Channel Expansion Module

Thanks wdey

that great link i can find all answers from that link. I hope there is no different expansion models for 6200 series FI's if i am wrong please correct me

The 6200 has unified ports (capable to run FC or Ethernet); there is only one expansion model

(1) Cisco USC 6248:
■Select either zero or one expansion module
(2) Cisco UCS 6296:
■Select either zero, one, two, or three expansion modules
Caveats
■For the 6248 FI, 8 of the 32 base FI ports are prelicensed and 8 of the 16 Gigabit Expansion Module (GEM) ports are prelicensed.
■For the 6296 FI, 18 of the 48 base FI ports are prelicensed and 8 ports of each GEM are prelicensed.
