Cisco UCS 6332 32-Port Fabric Interconnect
The Cisco UCS 6332 32-Port Fabric Interconnect (Figure 3) is a 1-rack-unit (1RU) Gigabit Ethernet, and FCoE
switch offering up to 2.56 Tbps throughput and up to 32 ports. The switch has 32 fixed 40-Gbps Ethernet and
FCoE ports.
Both the Cisco UCS 6332UP 32-Port Fabric Interconnect and the Cisco UCS 6332 16-UP 40-Port Fabric
Interconnect have ports that can be configured for the breakout feature that supports connectivity between 40
Gigabit Ethernet ports and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. This feature provides backward compatibility to existing
hardware that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet. A 40 Gigabit Ethernet port can be used as four 10 Gigabit Ethernet
ports. Using a 40 Gigabit Ethernet SFP, these ports on a Cisco UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnect can connect
to another fabric interconnect that has four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFPs. The breakout feature can be configured on
ports 1 to 12 and ports 15 to 26 on the Cisco UCS 6332UP fabric interconnect. Ports 17 to 34 on the Cisco UCS
6332 16-UP fabric interconnect support the breakout feature.

The Cisco UCS 6332-16UP 40-Port Fabric Interconnect (Figure 4) is a 1RU 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE, and
native 4-, 8, and 16-Gbps Fibre Channel switch offering up to 2.43 Tbps throughput and up to 40 ports. The switch
has 24 fixed 40-Gbps Ethernet and FCoE ports and sixteen 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 4-, 8-, and 16-Gbps Fibre
Channel ports.
The unified ports in the Cisco UCS 6332-16UP support direct connections from Cisco UCS to existing native Fibre
Channel SANs.
