The Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect 9108 100G (Figure 10) is an integrated 1/10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE, and Fibre Channel switch offering up to 1.6 Tbps throughput and up to 8 ports. The switch has 6 40/100-Gbps Ethernet ports and 2 unified ports that can support 40/100-Gbps Ethernet ports or 8 Fiber Channel ports after break-out at 8/16/32-Gbps FC speeds. The 8 FC ports after breakout can either operate as an FC uplink port or as an FC storage port. The switch supports 2 1-Gbps speed after breakout and all 8 ports can breakout for 10/25-Gbps Ethernet connectivity. All Ethernet ports are capable of supporting FCoE. Beyond the 8 external facing 100G ports, the Fabric Interconnect 9108 100G also provides eight 100G or thirty-two 25G backplane ethernet ports connectivity towards the X-series compute nodes depending on 100G or 25G VIC. The rear-view image shows the ortho-direct connectors that will connect to the VIC on the X-series compute node.

The Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect 9108 100G also has one network management port, one console port for setting the initial configuration, and one USB port for saving or loading configuration.
