• Powerful QoS features:
Creates traffic classes based on access control lists (ACLs), IEEE 802.1p precedence, IP,
DSCP or Type of Service (ToS) precedence.
◦
◦ Supports filter, redirect, mirror, or remark.
◦ Supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round
robin (WRR), weighted fair queuing (WFQ), weighted random early discard (WRED),
weighted deficit round robin (WDRR), and SP+WDRR.
• Integrated network services—With support for open application architecture (OAA) modules,
extends and integrates application capability into the network.
• Ring Resiliency Protection Protocol (RRPP)—Provides fast recovery for ring Ethernet-based
topology; ensures consistent application performance for applications such as VoIP.
• 14 fixed 10-GbE ports
• Two expansion bays, one 4-port FCoE expansion module required. Second bay can be used
for second FCoE module or additional 10-GbE ports.
• Optional expansion modules:
HP 4-port 8/4/2 Gb/s FCoE SFP+ 5820 Module◦
◦ HP 5820X/A5800 4-port 10-GbE SFP+ Module
◦ HP 5820X/A5800 2-port 10-GbE SFP+ Module
• Compatible with B-series, C-series, and H-series FC switches
• Considerations:
Requires connectivity to an FC switch for access to FC storage systems. See
Figure 46 (page 77) and Figure 48 (page 79).
◦
◦ Access to native FCoE target devices not supported via 10-GbE ports
