Question
An engineer must connect a new storage appliance to a Cisco UCS domain.
- The storage array must be directly attached to Cisco UCS fabric
interconnects.
- Connectivity between UCS and SAN must use 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
- The solution should use lossless QoS system class.
- Network and storage traffic must traverse different uplinks.
Which port types must be used between the fabric interconnect and the storage appliance?
Options
- AFCoE storage port
- BFcoE uplink port
- CFibre Channel storage port
- DFibre Channel storage port

Explanation
These port types allow direct connection of the storage appliance to UCS fabric interconnects over 10 Gb Ethernet using lossless QoS, while enabling separation of storage (FCoE) and network (Ethernet) uplinks. Cisco documentation on UCS appliance ports states that appliance ports are used to connect storage appliances directly to fabric interconnects. These appliance ports support FCoE and Ethernet, and the fabric interconnect ports configured as FCoE storage ports carry the storage traffic in a lossless fashion. server-chassis/116075-ucs-app-connectivity-tshoot-00.html
