Cisco VIC 15237 and 15238
The Cisco UCS VIC 15237 and 15238 (Figure 10) are dual-port quad small-form-factor pluggable (QSFP/QSFP28/QSFP56) mLOM cards designed for Cisco UCS C-series M6/M7 rack servers. The card supports 40/100/200-Gbps Ethernet or FCoE. The card can present PCIe standards-compliant interfaces to the host, and these can be dynamically configured as either NICs or HBAs.
The Cisco UCS VIC 15237 is functionally equivalent to the 15238, but incorporates secure boot technology.
When a UCS rack server with VIC 15237 or 15238 is connected to a fabric interconnect (FI-6536/6300), the VIC adapter is provisioned through Cisco Intersight Managed Mode (IMM) or Cisco UCS Manager (UCSM) policies. When the UCS rack server with VIC 15237 or 15238 is connected to a ToR switch such as Cisco Nexus 9000 Series, the VIC adapter is provisioned through the Cisco IMC or Intersight policies for a UCS standalone server.
