8
A maximum of two DC SAN Director Switch 10/24 FCoE Blades per chassis are supported
in DC and DC04 SAN Directors.
9
The DC SAN Director Switch 10/24 FCoE Blade does not support Twinax copper cables
(SFP+).
10
DC and DC04 SAN Directors are supported for concurrent installation of the DC SAN Director
Switch 10/24 FCoE Blade with the FC8-16, FC8-32, FC8-48 or FC10-6 blades only.

Table 6 C-series FCoE Converged Network switch fabric rules
DescriptionRule number
A C-series FCoE CN switch can be a standalone switch or an edge switch in a Fibre Channel
fabric. To attach the switch to an existing Fibre Channel fabric as an edge switch, at least
one Fibre Channel port on the FCoE CN switch must be connected to a Fibre Channel switch
in the fabric (E_Port). There cannot be any other FCoE or 10-GbE IEEE DCB switches in the
path to the Fibre Channel switch.
For FCoE E_Port connectivity, the Fibre Channel switch minimum firmware version is NX-OS
4.1(3)N1(1). All C-series 4 Gb/s or 8 Gb/s switch models are supported when using the
minimum firmware version.
MDS switches running SAN-OS 3.x can be in the Fibre Channel SAN but cannot be connected
directly to an FCoE switch.
1
Server CNAs must be connected directly to FCoE CN switch IEEE DCB ports (pre-FIP support
only).
2
Fibre Channel storage can be connected directly to the FCoE CN switch (F_Port) or to a Fibre
Channel switch (F_Port) in the same fabric as the FCoE CN switch. SAN boot is not supported
when storage systems are connected directly to FCoE Fibre Channel ports.
3
Supports a maximum of three switch hops (four switches) between a CNA and storage.4
Supports the following IEEE DCB media types:
• HP C-series hot pluggable, 10-GbE SFP+ Short Reach (SR) optical transceivers
• HP C-series SFP+ 3m or 5m copper Twinax passive cables
5
Supports up to 50 switches in a single physical fabric or VSAN6
Supports up to 40 domains per VSAN7
