Refer to the exhibit. When an engineer inserts an 8-Gb Fibre Channel SFP into port 15 on a Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect, the port fails. What is causing this issue?

Explanation

An 8-Gb Fibre Channel SFP is valid only in a unified port configured for Fibre Channel. When the port is configured as Ethernet, Cisco UCS rejects the FC optic during SFP validation. Cisco documents that unified ports can carry either Ethernet or Fibre Channel traffic, and that the 8-Gb FC SFP is for FC-configured unified ports.
