– Four tunnels maximum per GbE port
– Two 10 GbE ports can support up to ten FCIP tunnels each
– Each FCIP tunnel is represented and managed as a virtual Fibre Channel
E_Port
– Fibre Channel Routing Services can be used over the FCIP link
– Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as
VE_Ports, and do not merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports. If VE_Ports
are used in a Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone fabric configuration,
then the backbone fabric merges, but the EX_Port-attached edge fabrics do
not merge. For more information refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
v Up to three FC trunking groups. The three groups are defined as:
– Trunk group 0: FC ports 0, 1
– Trunk group 1: FC ports 6, 7
– Trunk group 2: FC ports 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11
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.
Attention: This blade cannot be used in the same chassis with any of the other
application blades (FR4-18i, FX8-24, FS8-18).
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 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 FCoE switching
v CEE switching
v Layer 2 Ethernet protocols STP/MSTP/RSTP, 802.1q, and Link Aggregation
(802.1ad)
v Standard Ethernet encapsulation
