Figure 44 (page 75) depicts blade server FC/FCoE configurations with B-series, C-series, or HP
FlexFabric FCoE switches and either Pass-Thru modules, 6120XG or 6125XLG DCB switches, or
Virtual Connect modules.
• If Pass-Thru modules are used, this configuration is supported with B-series or C-series FCoE
and corresponding FC switches.
• If 6120XG switches are used, this configuration is supported with C-series FCoE switches and
FC switches only.
• If 6125XLG switches are used with HP FlexFabric 5900CP switches, the 6125XLG switch must
be in NPV mode.
