Ethernet (CEE) standards, a low latency, lossless Ethernet standard. The feature
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 (FA4-18, FR4-18i,
FX8-24, FS8-18).
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:
v
24 FCoE ports operating at 10 Gbps
v
32 FC ports operating at 8 Gbps through the backplane
v
Hot pluggable
v
I
2
C Management interface through the backplane
v
JTAG support
v

v
Link status LEDs per port
The FCOE10-24 blade also provides the following functionality features:
v
FCoE switching
v
CEE switching
v
Standard Ethernet encapsulation
v
End of row deployment
Note: With the switch in online state, if all the FCOE ports are shut down, offline
diagnostics continue to run. The blade will be in inoperable state and you need to
issue
slotpoweroff and slotpoweron to recover.
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information on configuring these
features.
