Flexport allows you to configure individual ports on the FC32-64 blade for Fibre Channel (FC) or Fibre Channel over
Ethernet (FCoE) connections when qualified FC or Ethernet transceivers are installed in the ports. Configure FC (default)
or Ethernet operation for a port using the portcfgflexport command.
•
FC operation allows the connection of blades to fabric storage, servers, and switches. An FC transceiver must be
installed in a port to configure FC operation for that port. Supported FC transceivers include 4x32Gb/s QSFP28 and
4x16Gb/s QSFP+ transceivers.
•
FCoE operation allows the connection of blades to FCoE devices as part of a unified fabric. The FCoE devices can be
servers or connections through an FCoE Initialization Protocol snooping bridge (FSB). An Ethernet transceiver must be
installed in a port to configure FCoE operation for that port. Supported Ethernet transceivers include 40GbE, 4x10GbE,
and 4x25GbE QSFP+ transceivers.
