The Cisco UCS VIC 15425 (Figure 17) is a quad-port small-form-factor pluggable (SFP+/SFP28/SFP56) PCIe card designed for Cisco UCS C-series M6/M7 rack servers. The card supports 10/25/50-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.
When a UCS rack server with VIC 15425 is connected to a fabric interconnect (FI-6536/6400/6300), the VIC 15425 is provisioned through Cisco Intersight Managed Mode (IMM) or Cisco UCS Manager (UCSM) policies. When the UCS rack server with VIC 15425 is connected to a ToR switch such as Cisco Nexus®9000 Series, the VIC 15425 is provisioned through the Cisco IMC or Intersight policies for a standalone server.
