Does Nexus support iSCSI and FC storage simultaneously?

[Alex Wu]

Hi All,

I want to find a Cisco switch which could support below devices simultaneously

- iSCSI Storage

- FC Storage

- LAN networking

It seems that Nexus 5k can achieve my goal, right? besides, could you tell me the biggest difference between Nexus 5672UP and 5672up-16GB?

thanks for your comments.

FCOE is the way to reach your FC goals.

Thanks.

means I need to buy license?

N5K physically supports FC and iSCSI, Only need license, right?
