CONFIGURING the SERVER

STEP 6 CHOOSE ADAPTERS

The adapter offerings are:

■ Cisco Virtual Interface Cards (VICs)

Cisco developed 1200 Series and 1300 Series Virtual Interface Cards (VICs) to provide flexibility

to create multiple NIC and HBA devices. The VICs also support adapter Fabric Extender and

Virtual Machine Fabric Extender technologies. The VIC features are listed here:

— 1200 Series VICs enable advanced networking features including Netflow for

network statistics, and DPDK, USNIC for low-latency computing applications.

— 1300 Series VICs include all of the 1200 Series features plus additional

enhancements including network overlay offload support for NVGRE and VXLAN, and

RoCE services.

— In addition, 1300 Series VICs support PCIe Gen 3.0 for greater bandwidth than 1200

Series VICs

— Two Converged Network Adapter (CNA) ports, supporting both Ethernet and FCoE

— Delivers 80 Gbps total I/O throughput to the server

• VIC 1240 supports dual 4 x 10 Gbps Unified I/O ports

• VIC 1340 supports dual 4x 10 Gbps Unified I/O ports or 2x40 (native) Gbps Unified

I/O ports

— Creates up to 256 fully functional unique and independent PCIe adapters and

interfaces (NICs or HBAs) without requiring single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV)

support from operating systems or hypervisors

— Provides virtual machine visibility from the physical network and a consistent

network operations model for physical and virtual servers

— Supports customer requirements for a wide range of operating systems and

hypervisors

■ Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator Adapters

Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator adapters are designed specifically for the Cisco UCS B Series M3

blade servers and integrate seamlessly to allow improvement in performance and relief of I/O

bottlenecks.
