You connect Port 13 of a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect to a SAN. All the Fabric Interconnect ports are unified ports.

Which of the following options should you select for Port 13 in Cisco UCS Manager?

  • Configure as Appliance Port
  • Configure as Server Port
  • Configure as FCoE Storage Port
  • Configure as Uplink Port
  • Configure as FCoE Uplink Port
Explanation:

You should select the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) Manager Configure as FCoE Uplink Port option for Port 13 on the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect in this scenario because Port 13 is connected to a storage area network (SAN). Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects enable management of two different types of network fabrics in a single UCS domain, such as a Fibre Channel (FC) SAN and an Ethernet local area network (LAN).
Unified ports in a UCS Fabric Interconnect can operate in one of two primary modes: FC or Ethernet. Each mode can be assigned a different port role, such as server port, uplink port, or appliance port for Ethernet. The FC port mode supports two roles: FC over Ethernet (FCoE) uplink port and FCoE storage port. Uplink ports are used to connect the Fabric Interconnect to the next layer of the network, such as to a SAN by using the FCoE uplink port role or to a LAN by using the uplink port role.
You should not choose the Configure as Uplink Port option in this scenario. The Configure as Uplink Port option would configure Port 13 in the uplink role in Ethernet mode. This port role is used for connecting a UCS Fabric Interconnect to an Ethernet LAN.
You should not choose the Configure as Server Port option in this scenario. The Configure as Server Port option is used to connect the Fabric Interconnect to network adapters on server hosts.
You should not choose the Configure as FCoE Storage Port option in this scenario. The Configure as FCoE Storage Port option is used to connect the Fabric Interconnect to a Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) device.
You should not choose the Configure as Appliance Port option in this scenario. The Configure as Appliance Port option is used to connect the Fabric Interconnect to a storage appliance.
