Adding the Dell S5000 Converged Switch to the Topology

In Figure 48, you can see how the traditional non-converged topology has changed with the

introduction of the Dell S5000 switch in a possible use case. Note how the Dell S4810 Ethernet

switches have been replaced by Dell S5000 converged switches. Also, note how the separate Ethernet

NIC and FC adapters on the server have been replaced by one converged network adapter (CNA). FC

frames are now encapsulated in Ethernet frames and both LAN and SAN traffic are carried over the

same Ethernet links up to the Dell S5000 which separates the two different types of traffic. For

different possible use cases of the Dell S5000, see the "Dell Networking S5000: Data Center ToR

Architecture and Design" document.
