C9336C-FX2 FC/FCoE

[jordan.jordani1992]

Dear all,

I was reading the Nexus 9000 datasheets && I wonder if the Nexus C9336C-FX2 (N9K-C9336C-FX2) supports FC or FCoE for the storage networking purpose?

Here is the link that I read:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/nexus-9000-series-switches/datasheet-c78-738259.html

Any feedback is appreciated.

Cisco Nexus 93180YC-FX is your best option for support for FCOE and native FC ports.

Are you adding these ACI leafs to your existing ACI environment?

Thanks,

Dear Kirk J

Thanks for your clarification and relpy.

I'm preparing a LOM and it is a must to support FC/FCoE. so to answer your question, NO, I;m building up a new DC based on N9K.

The reason why I prefer to use the FX2 series is that it provides 40/100G downports which  93180YC-FX offers only 1/10G downports.

I was wondering as  93180YC-FX supports FC/FCoE, does FX2 support FC/FCoE which is not stated in the document?

Regards

See https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/sw/7-x/FCoE/configuration/guide/b_Cisco_Nexus_9000_Series_NX-OS_FCoE_Configuration_Guide_7x/b_Cisco_Nexus_9000_Series_NX-OS_FCoE_Configuration_Guide_7x_chapter_010.html

that lists the current FC/FCOE capabilities of the nexus 9x00 series switches.
