In this recipe, we will learn how to create a LAN pin group on UCS Fabric Interconnect.
Prepare a Cisco UCS 5108 Chassis with two UCS IOM 2208XP installed; each UCS IOM is connected to a Cisco UCS 6428UP. Configure four ports on each Cisco UCS 6428UP as an Ethernet uplink port (port 17/18), which is connected to the Cisco LAN Switch by Fibre Channel cables. The UCS service profile (defined by two vNIC1/2) is associated to the UCS Server and can boot up the OS successfully. The details are listed in the following diagram:
In this recipe, we will learn how to create a static LAN pin group by an FI-A uplink and FI-B uplink on Fabric Interconnect.
We assume that the two defined vNICs can be added into the service profile detail, as shown in the following table:
