G8264CS Command Reference for ENOS 8.4
Fibre Channel Configuration
As a converged switch, the G8264CS provides combined support for Ethernet and
Fibre Channel (FC) networks. Ports 53 ‐ 64 are hybrid, allowing them to operate in
either Ethernet mode (the default), or in Fibre Channel mode for direct connection
to Fibre Channel devices.
The G8264CS can be used in the following Fibre Channel applications:
 As an FCoE gateway for bridging FCoE and Fibre Channel networks
 As a Node Port Virtualized (NPV) Gateway for uplinking multiple Fibre
Channel nodes to a full fabric switch
 As a Full ‐ Fabric Switch — a central element of a Fibre Channel network
The following table describes generic Fibre Channel configuration options.
