QuestionQ50

Designing the FlexPod Solution

What is the maximum aggregate traffic available to a half-width UCS B-Series blade in a 5108 Chassis using two 2208XP Fabric Extenders, a Cisco VIC 1240 adapter, and a Cisco Port Expander Card for VIC 1240?

  • A 40 Gb
  • B 80 Gb
  • C 120 Gb
  • D 320 Gb
Explanation

A pair of Cisco UCS 2208XP Fabric Extenders supplies four 10-Gbps backplane lanes per fabric to each half-width blade slot. A Cisco VIC 1240 with its Port Expander uses all four lanes per fabric, giving 40 Gbps per fabric and 80 Gbps aggregate across the two fabrics.
