Detail Information
The Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect is a managed switch that is used as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) for data center networking. It provides a unified management interface for all the server, storage, and network resources in the data center. The "UP" in the model number indicates that the switch has built-in uplink ports for connecting to external networks. The 6248UP has 48 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports and 6 built-in uplink ports. It also supports virtualization and automation features, such as virtual NICs (vNICs) and virtual HBAs (vHBAs). The switch can be managed using the Cisco UCS Manager software, which provides a centralized management interface for all the components of the UCS system.
Features and Benefits
The Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect is a high-performance and reliable managed switch that is designed for use in data center environments. It provides high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for servers, storage, and networking devices, which helps to ensure that applications run smoothly and quickly.
The switch supports a number of features that help to improve performance and reliability. For example, it uses a non-blocking architecture to ensure that all ports can operate at full speed simultaneously, and it supports Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize traffic and ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need. Additionally, the switch supports virtualization features, such as virtual NICs (vNICs) and virtual HBAs (vHBAs), which can help to improve resource utilization and reduce the number of physical devices that need to be managed.
In terms of reliability, the Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect is designed for high availability, which helps to ensure that the switch is always available to support the needs of the data center. This is achieved through a number of features, such as redundant power supplies and fans, which help to ensure that the switch can continue to operate even in the event of a failure. Additionally, the switch supports advanced network management features, such as Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and Virtual Port Channel (vPC), which help to improve resiliency and eliminate potential single points of failure in the network.
Compliant Standards
The Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect is a managed switch that is designed to comply with a number of industry standards. These standards help to ensure that the switch is compatible with other devices and systems, and that it provides a consistent level of performance and functionality. Some of the standards that the Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect is compliant with include:
- IEEE 802.3: This is the standard for Ethernet, which is the most widely used local area network (LAN) technology. The Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE), which is a high-speed version of Ethernet that is commonly used in data center environments.
- Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE): This is a technology that allows Fibre Channel (FC) storage traffic to be carried over Ethernet networks. The Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect supports FCoE, which helps to simplify the data center network by converging storage and LAN traffic onto a single, unified network.
- Data Center Bridging (DCB): This is a set of standards that help to ensure that Ethernet networks can support lossless traffic, such as storage and Fibre Channel traffic. The Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect supports DCB, which helps to improve the performance and reliability of storage and other lossless traffic in the data center.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and Virtual Port Channel (vPC): These are Cisco proprietary protocols which enables link aggregation between switches. This provides higher availability and bandwidth by allowing multiple physical links to work together as a single logical link.
- IPv6: This is the next-generation version of the Internet Protocol (IP), which is the protocol that is used to route data across the internet. The Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect supports IPv6, which helps to ensure that the switch is compatible with the latest networking technologies and can support the growing number of devices that are connected to the internet.

About Refurbished Products
Different Types of Switches
Networking switches vary widely depending on the number of devices they can support, network bandwidth/speed, and form factor. Switches for small offices will have anything between 4 and 8 ports and can fit on a desk. For larger office network implementation, switches may have 24 ports, 48 ports, 96 ports, and 128 ports and are rack-mountable between 1U and 4U. Switches come in different types depending on the network speed and tasks they support. These include 40/100 Gbps, 10 Gigabit (up to 10000 Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1000 Mbps), Power over Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps).
Unmanaged Switches
The unmanaged switches offer fixed configuration on a plug-and-play basis. It is the most basic switch and there are a few choices in the market. These switches are affordable, but the basic features make them inappropriate for enterprise applications.
Managed Switches
The number of features and level of functionality improves with managed switches, making them ideal for enterprise and business applications. These switches are built with the command-line interface for ease of configuration. Equally, they support SNMP agents that come in handy when troubleshooting network issues.
The security on managed switches is better and will protect different types of traffic. Other features include support for virtual LANs, IP routing, and quality of service settings. Managed switches are more expensive compared to all other types of switches.
Smart Switches
Smart switches refer to switches that possess more features than those of unmanaged switches but do not have the full features of managed switches. Smart switches are more cost-effective than managed switches.
Some of the limitations of the smart switches are a lack of telnet access support, Web GUIs, and a lack of many features for VLANs. They are affordable compared to a fully managed switch and are suitable for a smaller computer network.
Modular Switches
Modular switches allow the addition of expansion modules as the network expands. The expansion modules allow for more networked devices but are application-specific. They may include wireless access points, firewalls, or network analysis tools. The flexibility of a modular networking switch comes at a higher cost.
