Cisco UCS 6296 UP Port Numbering
Each port on the Cisco UCS 6296 UP is numbered, and groups of ports are numbered based on their function.
The ports are numbered top to bottom and left to right. The 48 fixed ports support 8-, 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps Fibre
Channel transceivers and 1- or 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceivers.

Cabling Considerations for Fabric Port Channels
When you configure the links between the Cisco UCS 2200 Series FEX and a Cisco UCS 6200 series fabric
interconnect in fabric port channel mode, the available virtual interface namespace (VIF) on the adapter varies
depending on where the FEX uplinks are connected to the fabric interconnect ports.
Inside the 6248 fabric interconnect there are six sets of eight contiguous ports, with each set of ports managed
by a single chip. When all uplinks from an FEX are connected to a set of ports managed by a single chip,
Cisco UCS Manager maximizes the number of VIFs used in service profiles deployed on the blades in the
chassis. If uplink connections from an IOM are distributed across ports managed by separate chips, the VIF
count is decreased.
