Two types of CNAs are available:
•
•
CNA ports connect to an FCoE switch. CNAs combine the functions of a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and
Network Interface Card (NIC) on one PCIe x8 card. The CNAs even appear as network interface
controllers (NICs) and Fibre Channel adapters to the host. These CNAs fully support FCoE protocols
and allow Fibre Channel traffic to converge onto 10 Gbps Data Center Bridging (DCB) networks.
FCoE and 10 Gbps DCB operations run simultaneously.
The combined high performance and proven reliability of a single-ASIC design makes these CNAs
ideal for connecting host systems on Ethernet networks to SAN fabrics based on Brocade Fabric or
M-Enterprise operating systems.

Stand-up adapters

Stand-up type CNAs, such as the 1010 and 1020, are low-profile MD2 form factor PCI Express
(PCIe) cards that install in standard host computer systems.
components of the Brocade 1020 stand-up CNA with two fiber optic small form factor pluggable
(SFP) transceivers installed. Both stand-up CNAs also support direct-attached SFP+ copper cables.

Stand-up adapters.
These are low-profile MD2 form factor PCI Express (PCIe) cards, measuring 6.6 in. by 2.714 in.
(16.765 cm by 6.89 cm) that install in PCIe connectors in standard host systems.
Mezzanine adapters.
These are smaller cards that mount on server blades that install in blade system enclosures.
The enclosures contain other system blades, such as switch and pass-through modules.
