8 Dell EMC Networking FCoE-to-Fibre Channel Deployment with S4148U-ON in F_port Mode | version 1.0
2 Hardware overview
This section briefly describes the primary hardware used to validate this deployment. A complete listing of
hardware validated for this guide is provided in Appendix A.
2.1 Dell EMC Networking S4148U-ON
The S4148U-ON enables converging LAN and SAN traffic in a single 1-RU, multilayer switch. It includes
twenty-four 10GbE ports, two 40GbE ports, four 10/25/40/50/100GbE or FC8/16/32 ports, and twenty-four
10GbE or FC8/16 ports. Two S4148U-ONs are used as leaf switches in this guide for Ethernet connectivity to
the leaf-spine network and Fibre Channel connectivity to the SAN.

2.2 Dell EMC Networking Z9100-ON
The Z9100-ON is a 1-RU, multilayer switch with thirty-two ports supporting 10/25/40/50/100GbE plus two
10GbE SFP+ ports. Two Z9100-ON switches are used as spines in this guide.

2.3 Dell EMC Networking S3048-ON
The S3048-ON is a 1-RU switch with forty-eight 1GbE BASE-T ports and four 10GbE SFP+ ports. In this
guide, one S3048-ON switch is used per rack for out-of-band (OOB) management traffic.
