C-series and Cisco FCoE Converged Network switches
This section describes support for C-series and Cisco FCoE CN switches, switch models, and FCoE
fabric rules. For more information on configuring FCoE CN switches, see “FCoE switch configuration
quick-setup instructions” (page 390).
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
