HP does not support interoperability between different vendors' CN and FC switches:
• 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch operate with B-series FC switches only.
• C-series Nexus 5010/5020 Converged Network Switches operate with other C-series MDS FC
switches only.
NOTE:
The FCoE CN switch firmware update process will result in momentary loss of Ethernet and Fibre
Channel port connectivity. HP recommends implementing a dual path configuration with redundant
FCoE CN switches to minimize disruption during firmware updates.

The 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch is a rebranded version of the Brocade 8000 FCoE Switch
(Figure 2).
Figure 2 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch
.
Features
• Next-generation Ethernet L2/L3 switch and next-generation FC switch merged into one product
• CEE support
• Full industry-standard implementation
• Supports FCoE and FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP)
• 24 10-GbE and 8 8-Gb/s FC ports
• Uses 1 RU of space
• Leverages existing Brocade fabric operating system (FOS)
• Supports link aggregation (LAG) on DCB ports
• Supports Brocade ISL trunking on FC ports
Considerations
• The port types are fixed. You cannot use 10-GbE ports for FC connections, and you cannot use
FC ports for 10-GbE connections.
• L3 routing features are not currently supported.
• 10-GbE ports support virtual F_Ports only (virtual E_Ports are not supported).
