Cisco VIC 15427 and 15428

The Cisco UCS VIC 15427 and 15428 (Figure 8) are a quad-port small-form-factor pluggable (SFP+/SFP28/SFP56) mLOM 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.

The Cisco UCS VIC 15427 is functionally equivalent to the 15428, but incorporates secure boot technology.

When a UCS rack server with VIC 15427 or 15428 is connected to a fabric interconnect (FI-6536/6400/6300), the VIC 15428 is provisioned through Cisco Intersight^™Managed Mode (IMM) or Cisco UCS Manager (UCSM) policies. When the UCS rack server with VIC 15427 or 15428 is connected to a ToR switch such as Cisco Nexus^®9000 Series, the VIC adapter is provisioned through the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) or Intersight policies for a standalone server.
