The N6004X-M20UP is a unified port expansion module in the Cisco interface cards range, made for the Nexus 6004 chassis and carrying up to 20 physical ports. Each port is set to work either as Ethernet and FCoE or as native Fibre Channel.
Ethernet and FCoE traffic uses SFP+ interfaces at 1 and 10 Gigabit, while Fibre Channel uses SFP+ and SFP interfaces at 8, 4 and 2 Gbps. A single port serves one role at a time: 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet and 8/4/2 Gbps Fibre Channel are mutually exclusive on it.
The Nexus 6004 chassis provides eight expansion module slots, and every expansion module in it can be exchanged while the system runs. The chassis runs NX-OS release 6.0 and later and delivers 7.68 Tbps of switching capacity overall.
FCoE and Fibre Channel features depend on a storage services licence, applied on top of the hardware. The host chassis measures 6.97 x 17.3 x 30 in (17.7 x 43.9 x 76.2 cm) and weighs 111 lb with three 1100 W supplies, two expansion modules and four fan modules. N6004X-M20UP= is the spare form.
