FCOE10-24 blade
Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges, but the
EX_Port-attached edge fabrics do not merge. For more information, refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide.
• Up to three FC trunking groups:
‐
‐
‐
Trunk group 0: FC ports 0, 1
Trunk group 1: FC ports 6, 7
Trunk group 2: FC ports 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11
A RoHS-compliant version of the FX8-24 blade is available. To determine if this blade is installed, enter
the chassisshow command. Output for the Factory Part Number will be 60-1003135-XX. Downgrading
to these FOS versions is also not recommended if this blade is installed.
FCOE10-24 blade
The FCOE10-24 blade has 24 Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports that enable the transmission
of FC frames over an Ethernet network via encapsulation in standard Ethernet packets. This is enabled
by adherence to Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) standards, a low latency, lossless Ethernet
standard. This does not require dedicated Ethernet lines, but rather can make use of existing Ethernet
infrastructure to reduce costs.
NOTE
This blade cannot be used in the same chassis with an FC8-48E, FC8-64, FC16-48, FC16-64 port
blades or any of the application blades (FA4-18, FR4-18i, FX8-24, FS8-18).
The FCOE10-24 blade supports only optical cabling and transceivers (SFP+).
There are no licensing requirements for functionality on this blade.
The FCOE10-24 blade provides the following hardware features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
24 FCoE ports operating at 10 Gbps
32 FC ports operating at 8 Gbps through the backplane
Hot pluggable
I2C Management interface through the backplane
JTAG support
Blade power and status LEDs
Link status LEDs per port
The FCOE10-24 blade also provides the following functionality features:
•
•
•
•
FCoE switching
CEE switching
Standard Ethernet encapsulation
End of row deployment
NOTE
With the switch in online state, if all the FCOE ports are shutdown, offline diags will continue to run.
After this, the blade will be in inoperable state and you need to issue slotpoweroff and slotpoweron to
recover.
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information on configuring these features.
