transceiver options specified for use with SFP-compatible ports in Table 3
Port-based licensing
options
●
Helps enable a pay-as-you-go model, allowing customers to add capacity as the networking needs of an individual
system increase
Product Specifications
Transceivers
The Cisco UCS 6200 Series supports a wide variety of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options using Cisco
10GBASE SFP+ modules. In addition, all fixed and modular expansion ports on the Cisco UCS 6200 Series
support 1 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options using 1GBASE SFP modules. Alternatively, 2/4/8-Gbps Fibre
Channel SFP+ and 1/2/4-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP interfaces are supported on all ports.
Table 3 lists the supported transceiver options.
