USC FI: FCoE uplink and Unified uplink difference?

[mericaolden]

Hi! I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between the "FCoE uplink" and "Unified uplink (Ethernet uplink + FCoE uplink) on Fabric Interconnect.

As I understand, FCoE can handle both Ethernet and FC traffic.

Then what's the purpose of this hidden "Unified Uplink" option?

'FCoE uplink' would just be for FCoE storage traffic

'Unified uplink' was introduced in 2.1 if you wanted FCoE storage traffic and regular Ethernet traffic traversing the same link.
