Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect Overview
The Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect provides both network connectivity and management capabilities
to the Cisco UCS system. The fabric interconnect provides Ethernet and Fibre Channel to the servers in the
system, the servers connect to the fabric interconnect, and then to the LAN or SAN.
Each Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect runs Cisco UCS Manager to fully manage all Cisco UCS elements.
The fabric interconnect supports 10/25 Gigabit ports in the fabric with 40/100 Gigabit uplink ports. High
availability can be achieved when a Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect is connected to another Cisco UCS
6454 Fabric Interconnect through the L1 or L2 port on each device.

The Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect is a 1 RU top-of-rack switch with 48 10/25-Gigabit SFP28 ports (8
unified ports) and six 40/100-Gigabit QSFP28 ports. The eight unified ports support 10/25 GbE or 8/16/32G
Fibre Channel speeds. The switch also has one network management port, a console port for setting the initial
configuration, and a USB port for saving or loading configurations. The switch also includes L1/L2 ports for
connecting two fabric interconnects to provide high availability. The switch mounts in a standard 19-inch
rack, such as the Cisco R Series rack. The Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect also contains a CPU board
which consists of:
