Hi all,
I was looking for some insight around carrying 8G Fibre Channel data over third party P2P links. We would like to connect Fibre Channel switching to each other between two locations and the only available options are 10G Ethernet or an SDH link provided by local carrier. They will not provide dark fibre or wavelength for us to use. I have looked in to using Nexus 5600 and carrying 8G FC as FCOE traffic over 10G Ethernet. However, this requires another switching device (Nexus 5600) between the two Fibre Channel Switches (MDS 9200). I have also looked in to using FCIP, which is the currently the only option we can do without having another set of devices. So, it is possible to carry 8G FC traffic over STM64 transparently, possibly using a transponder card or have I lost the plot? Thanks! _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
