--> Unified ports are the type of ports in nexus switches that allow you to configure ports as Ethernet, native Fibre Channel or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports.
--> By default, the ports are Ethernet ports but you can change the port mode to Fibre Channel on the following unified ports:
Configuration of a unified port on a Cisco N55-M16UP expansion module
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# slot 2
switch(config-slot)# port 32 type fc
switch(config-slot)# copy running-config startup-config
switch(config-slot)# reload
--> Unified Port supports multiple transceiver types
i) 1G Ethernet Copper/Fiber
ii) 10G Ethernet Copper/Fiber
iii) 10G DCB/ FCOE Copper/Fiber
iv) 1/2/4/8G Fiber Channel
--> With the help of Unified ports, service can be adjusted based on the demand for specific traffic.
--> Unified Ports are suited for flexible LAN & storage convergence based on business needs.
--> Increases Design Flexibility.
