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.
Attention: This blade cannot be used in the same chassis with an FC8-64 port
blade or the FR4-18i or FX8-24 application blades.
There are no licensing requirements for functionality on this blade. Refer to the
Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information on configuring these features.
The FCOE10-24 blade supports only optical cabling and transceivers (SFP+). The
FCOE10-24 blade provides the following hardware features:
v 24 FCoE ports operating at 10 Gbps
v 32 FC ports operating at 8 Gbps through the backplane
v Hot pluggable
v I
2
C Management interface through the backplane
v JTAG support
v Blade power and status LEDs
v Link status LEDs per port
The FCOE10-24 blade also provides the following functionality features:

v CEE switching
v Layer 2 Ethernet protocols STP/MSTP/RSTP, 802.1q, and Link Aggregation
(802.1ad)
v Standard Ethernet encapsulation
v End of row deployment
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for information on configuring these
features.
