What to Do Next
Configure the port types for the ports. You can right-click on any port in the module display above the slider

Configuring Port Modes for a 6296 Fabric Interconnect
Changing the port mode on either module can cause an interruption in data traffic because changes to the
fixed module require a reboot of the fabric interconnect and changes on an expansion module require a
reboot of that module.
If the Cisco UCS domain has a cluster configuration that is set up for high availability and servers with
service profiles that are configured for failover, traffic fails over to the other fabric interconnect and data
traffic is not interrupted when the port mode is changed on the fixed module.
