FCOE10-24 blade

FCOE10-24 blade
The FCOE10-24 blade has 24 Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports that enables 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.
There are no licensing requirements for functionality on this blade.
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information on configuring these features.
