– 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 (FX8-24).
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
2
• I C 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
• Layer 2 Ethernet protocols STP/MSTP/RSTP, 802.1q, and Link Aggregation (802.1ad)
• 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 Brocade Fabric OS Administration Guide for information on configuring these features.
