FCoE and FC on same N5k

[b.lang]

Hi,

I must connect a Netapp Filer with FC and UCS with FcoE on the same Nexus 5548UP, to communicate between the Netapp and UCS over N5k!

Topology:

Netapp-> FC -> N5k <-FCoE<-UCS

Is this a supported design and how to configure it?

Thanks to all

Hello Bernhard,

I moved the discussion back to:

Cisco Communities > Technology > Data Center & Cloud > Discussions

because it didn't seem to be a partner specific question.

I received the following response from one of our SMEs.

1. Sure FCoE uplinks are supported from UCS 2.1 (Delmar), so it is supported design. We can refer to the FCOE northbound configuration in UCS below although the original question is not multi-hop FCoE.

Hi Bernard,

Perhaps the following link can of assistance: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps10110/ps11975/guide_c07-686089.html

As long as you have the licenses for FCoE etc. it should work.

Best
