Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect - Switch - managed - 4 x 1 Gigabit / 10 Gigabit / 8 Gb Fiber Channel / FCoE SFP+ + 1 x 40Gb Ethernet / FCoE QSFP+ (breakout compatible) - plug-in module - refurbished - Upgrade
-
Robust connectivity options
Equipped with a variety of interface options including SFP+ and QSFP+ connectors, RJ-45 for 1000Base-T and console connections, and a Type-A USB port, the Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect ensures versatile connectivity for a wide range of network configurations.
-
Advanced networking features
Supports comprehensive networking protocols and standards such as IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.3ad (LACP), and IEEE 802.3ae, alongside advanced features like Quality of Service (QoS), VLAN support, and IGMP snooping. This makes it an ideal solution for managing complex data center environments.
-
High performance and capacity
With a throughput capacity of 500 Gbps and a MAC address table size of 20,000 entries, the Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect is designed to handle high volumes of traffic, ensuring efficient data flow across the network.
-
Environmental resilience
Designed to operate within a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels, ensuring reliable performance in various operating conditions. Its compliance with multiple standards underscores its durability and safety for enterprise environments.
-
Efficient management and security
Features like firmware upgradability, RMON remote management protocol, and compliance with numerous security and safety standards, including RoHS and UL 60950-1, highlight the device's focus on secure and manageable networking solutions.
The Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect provides the management, LAN, and storage connectivity for the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis and direct-connect rack-mount servers. It provides the same full-featured Cisco UCS management capabilities and XML API as the full-scale Cisco UCS solution in addition to integrating with Cisco UCS Central Software and Cisco UCS Director.
From a networking perspective, the Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect uses a cut-through architecture, supporting deterministic, low-latency, line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet on all ports, switching capacity of up to 500 Gbps, and 80-Gbps uplink bandwidth for each chassis, independent of packet size and enabled services. Sixteen 10-Gbps links connect to the servers, providing a 20-Gbps link from each Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect to each server. The product family supports Cisco low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric capabilities, which increase the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks. The fabric interconnect supports multiple traffic classes over a lossless Ethernet fabric from the blade through the fabric interconnect. Significant TCO savings come from an Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-optimized server design in which network interface cards (NICs), host bus adapters (HBAs), cables, and switches can be consolidated.
