Nexus 5K FCoE Licences

[wicky0777]

Hi ,

I need following clarification from anyone who is familliar with Nexus switch family , Since this things are bit confusing .

1) . If only one  N55-8P-SSK9 ( Nexus 5500 Storage License, 8 Ports ) licences  is installed in  Nexus 5596UP, Does this enable FCoE capability to entire switch or only for 8 Ports ?

2). If 2232PP is connected to 5596UP  ,Do all the Downlink ports which connected to 2232PP counts as  FCoE ?

Thanks

Rajitha
