fcoe for ethernet AND san

riedling11

I'm having a bit of a brain fart....

 

I see that you can create an "unified" uplink from the 6248s to an upstream Nexus 5k.  Can I use this single uplink for both VSAN and VLAN traffic, or si the best practice to separare them into an Ethernet uplink and a FCOE San uplink?

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure of any immediate disadvantages.  A lot of design related inputs to separate LAN and SAN are related to pacing the integrating of the two networks. 

If your already running FCoE and your not migrating from a pure LAN and Fibre channel environment to FCoE - then I'd run both on a unified link.
