Dear all,

I looking in the data sheet of the virtual interface card at the link below.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/ps10265/ps10280/data_sheet_c78-525049.html

Could you assist me in finding out is the Cisco UCS M81KR supports IEEE 802.3ad standard and process FCoE in hardware.

Thank you very much for the assistance in advance!

Best regards,

Stanislav

FCoE yes, LACP not really as there is no need.  So I assume you have a c series where there are two interfaces to actually combine like that.  The VIC wouldnt be doing that but you could configure NIC teaming on your OS and he must have the teaming/lacp drivers to do so.  The vic himself doesnt do this, no.  he provides virtual nics to guests, guests use as needed and configured.  I see this daily at the vmware host level but it's true teaming, not lacp aggregation which would be setup on upstream switch, and it's not.  i've yet to see os drives doing that myself.
