IMPORTANT: If you are not familiar with Cisco FC switches or you do not have experience
merging C-series FC switches into an existing FC fabric, use the detailed instructions found in the
switch user guide to set up your switch.
HP recommends that you use the VFC port assignments listed in Table 195 (page 396).

Optional expansion module slots can contain either 10-GbE ports or FC ports.
In the following examples, FCoE is enabled on a C-series Nexus 5010 Converged Network Switch,
VLAN 200 is created, and the Ethernet ports are bound to a virtual SAN (VSAN 2) from an 8-port
FC expansion module. The commands are the same for the HP C-series Nexus 5020 Switch and
the Cisco Nexus 5548UP and Nexus 5596UP Switches.
