C-series FCoE Converged Network switches
This section describes support for C-series FCoE CN switches, switch models, and FCoE fabric rules.
For more information on configuring FCoE SANs, see the HP StorageWorks Fibre Channel over
Ethernet application note, available at http://www.hp.com/go/SDGmanuals.
C-series Nexus 5020 FCoE Converged Network Switch
The C-series Nexus 5020 is a 2 RU, 10 GbE, Cisco IEEE DCB, FCoE, and Fibre Channel switch. It
has a fixed configuration of 40 10-GbE, Cisco IEEE DCB, and FCoE SFP+ ports. The first 16 fixed
ports are dual speed, supporting both 10 GbE and 1 GbE. The switch has two expansion slots that
can accommodate up to 16 Fibre Channel switch ports.
C-series Nexus 5010 FCoE Converged Network Switch
The C-series Nexus 5010 is a 1 RU, 10 GbE, Cisco IEEE DCB, FCoE, and Fibre Channel switch. It
has a fixed configuration of 20 10-GbE, Cisco IEEE DCB, and FCoE SFP+ ports. The first 8 fixed ports
are dual speed, supporting both 10 GbE and 1 GbE. The switch has one expansion slot that can
accommodate up to 8 Fibre Channel switch ports.
Expansion modules for the C-series Nexus 5000 Series switches
The C-series Nexus 5000 Series switches can accommodate expansion modules that connect Fibre
Channel SANs to 8, 4, 2, or 1 Gb/s Fibre Channel switch ports. Use these modules to increase the
number of 10 GbE, Cisco IEEE DCB, and FCoE ports. The Nexus 5010 has one expansion slot; the
Nexus 5020 has two expansion slots that accommodate the following modules:
• Nexus 5000 6-port 10GbE Module
