Today’s data center networks are complex

Constraining application service delivery

• Interconnect sprawl resulting from virtualization

• Complex and costly networking infrastructure

at the server edge

• Unable to keep up with the rapid pace of

business change; no automation

• Over-provisioned power and cooling driving costly

capacity expansion

c-Class Longevity Statement

HP c-Class continues to gain customer preference as the industry-leading blade infrastructure. As new innovations and technologies are added, adoption of c-Class grows in the marketplace.

HP remains committed to the c-Class architecture and plans to offer c-Class through at least 2016. There is no end-of-life (EOL) date set for c-Class at this point in time. Our current plans are to support the c-Class portfolio with spares for at least 5 years after the cessation of selling individual c-Class products.

Regards,

Mark Potter

HP 6125XLG FCoE support

The HP 6125 XLG can act as an FCF Switch

• Implements Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF) – FC switch protocols

− Name and zoning services, FSPF protocol, recovery, notification, etc.)

• Acts likes a fully functional FC switch

− Utilize Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) or FC/FCoE frame routing

− FC0E ports only – No native FC

• Ethernet MAC headers are stripped and appended at each hop

− i.e. from an FCoE perspective, operates as a layer 3/4 router

− Strips L2 MAC headers from ingress FCoE frames

− Important for QCN considerations (discussed later)

• One or more FCFs are at the core of the converged network

− Multiple FCFs are back to back Converged link (FCoE)

HP 6125XLG FCoE support

The HP 6125XLG can act as a FIP Snooping

Switch*

• FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) – used to establish a

connection between a CNA and a FCF through a L2 DCB

Ethernet network

• FIP Snooping switches do not employ the FCF functions − Only have DCB Ethernet ports; no native FC ports

• FIP Snooping switches monitor FIP protocol traffic flowing

through

− As FIP logins between CNAs and upstream FCF switches complete, FIP

Snooping switches establish MAC address ACLs to ensure secure/fast FCoE

traffic flow

• May be 0 or more FIP Snooping switches between a CNA & the

1st FCF

• FIP Snooping switches are NOT used between FCF switches
