FI 6296 : Server ports on expansion module ?????

[delahais]

hi,

I could read

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/cli/config/guide/2.0/b_UCSM_CLI_Configuration_Guide_2_0_chapter_0101.pdf

Server Ports

Server ports handle data traffic between the fabric interconnect and the adapter cards on the servers.

You can only configure server ports on the fixed port module. Expansion modules do not include server ports.

means that i can use only 48 port on fixed module to connect chassis. If i want connect 4 link to IOM 2204, i can connect only 12 chassis ?????

I do not understand this limitation.... ????

Many thanks

Nicolas.

Hello Nicolas,

You can  configure ports on expansion modules as " server port " type in FI 62XX series.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/2.1/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_1_chapter_0110.html#concept_EBA4291165434774AB50F91C74633538

------------ snip ------------------

All of the port types listed are configurable on both the fixed and expansion module, including server ports, which are not configurable on the 6100 series fabric interconnect expansion module, but are configurable on the 6200 series fabric interconnect expansion module.
