Server and Uplink Ports on the 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect
Each 6100 series fabric interconnect has a set of ports in a fixed port module that you can configure as either
server ports or uplink Ethernet ports. These ports are not reserved. They cannot be used by a Cisco UCS
domain until you configure them. You can add expansion modules to increase the number of uplink ports on
the fabric interconnect or to add uplink Fibre Channel ports to the fabric interconnect.
You need to create LAN pin groups and SAN pin groups to pin traffic from servers to an uplink port.
