Fibre Channel over Ethernet for FC Flex IO Modules
FCoE provides a converged Ethernet network that allows the combination of storage-area network (SAN)
and LAN traffic on a Layer 2 link by encapsulating Fibre Channel data into Ethernet frames.
The Fibre Channel (FC) Flex IO module is supported on Dell Networking Operating System (OS) MXL
10/40GbE Switch and M I/O Aggregator (IOA). The MXL and IOA switch installed with the FC Flex IO
module functions as a top-of-rack edge switch that supports converged enhanced Ethernet (CEE) traffic
— Fibre channel over Ethernet (FCoE) for storage, Interprocess Communication (IPC) for servers, and
