Chapter 2      Installing the System

NIC Modes and NIC Redundancy Settings

NIC Modes and NIC Redundancy Settings

Note

The NIC modes and NIC redundancy refer to the ports on the SIOCs. They do not refer to the 1-Gb LOM 
port on an S3260 M5 server node.

NIC Modes

You can choose from the following NIC mode settings:

•

Cisco Card (

default

)—The QSFP ports on the active SIOC are used to access Cisco IMC. You must 

select a NIC redundancy setting. 

•

Dedicated—The dedicated RJ-45 management port of either SIOC is used to access the Cisco IMC. 
The only NIC redundancy setting for this NIC mode is 

None

. 

NIC Redundancy

You can choose from the following NIC redundancy settings:

•

Active-active (

default

)—All QSFP ports are utilized simultaneously. This setting can be used only 

with the 

Cisco Card

 NIC mode. 

•

Active-standby—If an active QSFP port fails, traffic fails over to a standby port. This setting can be 
used only with the 

Cisco Card

 NIC mode.

•

None—The ports operate independently and do not fail over if there is a problem. This setting can 
be used only with the 

Dedicated

 NIC mode.
