10 CN4093 10 Gb Converged Scalable Switch User’s Guide
The CN4093 provides support for Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, as well as a full set
of converge features:
• Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) including Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE) over all Ethernet ports, including Omni Ports acting in Ethernet mode.
• Priority-based Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) and
Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange (DCBX).
• N_Port Virtualization (NPV) Gateway and Full Fabric Fibre Channel Forwarder
(FCF).
• Full fabric Fibre Channel (FC) services, including Name Server and
hardware-based Zoning.
• Lenovo Virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC) Virtual Fabric Adapter with Single
Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) capability.
The CN4093 provides pay-as-you-grow scalability. With optional licensing, you can
easily and cost-effectively enable expand the number of available ports.
The base license provides support for the following:
• Single compute node port capability, consisting of fourteen internal 10 Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) with FCoE and auto-negotiation capability)
• Two external 10 GbE/FCoE Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports
which also support legacy 1 GbE/FCoE connections
• Six Omni Ports, allowing each port pair to be used as either two 10 GbE/FCoE
SFP+ ports or as FC ports independently capable of 4 or 8 Gigabits per second
(Gbps)
Additional ports are available with optional licenses. There are two upgrades that
are available for the CN4093 (see “Acquiring Feature Licenses” on page 45).
Upgrade 1 adds supports for the following:
• Fourteen additional internal 10 GbE/FCoE compute node ports
• Two external 40 GbE/FCoE Quad Small Form Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) ports,
each of which can be optionally used as four 10GbE/FCoE SFP+ ports
Upgrade 2 adds support for the following:
• Fourteen additional internal 10 GbE/FCoE compute node ports
• Six additional Omni Ports
Note: Upgrade 1 and Upgrade 2 are independent and can be installed in any order,
with or without the other.
SFP+ ports can be populated with 10 Gb optical or copper SFP+ transceiver
modules or Direct-Attach Cables (DACs), or legacy 1 Gb optical or copper SFP
transceiver modules.
QSFP+ ports can be populated with optical QSFP+ modules or DACs
, including
some that accept SFP+ or SFP modules.
