I am trying to determine my options.  We have a fairly new 4510R-E with a SUP6-E supervisor.  We are looking at a new SAN solution that would involve FCOE and I wanted to see if it is at all possible to use this existing switch.  Do I need to jump straight to a Nexus?  I am trying to NOT spend a bazillion dollars. hehe    Thanks!  -Scott

The 4500 does not support FCOE.  Nexus 5K or 7K.

Unfortunately there are no modules for FCoE in the 4500 and yes, you´´ll probably need a Data Center oriented platform for this role, and yes there is a cost involved
