HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10/24 Enterprise Edi

Performance 16 x 10Gb Ethernet downlinks to server blade NICs and FlexFabric Adapters Each 10Gb downlink supports up to 3 FlexNICs and 1 FlexHBA or 4 FlexNICs Each FlexHBA can be configured to transport either Fiber Channel over Ethernet/CEE or Accelerated iSCSI protocol. Each FlexNIC and FlexHBA is recognized by the server as a PCI-e physical function device with adjustable speeds from 100Mb to 10Gb in 100Mb increments when connected to a HP NC553i 10Gb 2-port FlexFabric Converged Network Adapter or any Flex-10 NIC and from 1Gb to 10Gb in 100Mb increments when connected to a NC551i Dual Port FlexFabric 10Gb Converged Network Adapter or NC551m Dual Port FlexFabric 10Gb Converged Network Adapter 4 SFP+ external uplink ports configurable as either 10Gb Ethernet or 2/4/8Gb auto-negotiating Fibre Channel connections to external LAN or SAN switches 4 SFP+ external uplink ports configurable as 1/10Gb auto-negotiating Ethernet connected to external LAN switches 8 x 10Gb SR, LR fiber and copper SFP+ uplink ports (4 ports also support 10Gb LRM fiber SFP+) Extended list of direct attach copper cable connections supported 2 x 10Gb shared internal cross connects for redundancy and stacking HBA aggregation on FC configured uplink ports using ANSI T11 standards-based N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) technology Allows up to 255 virtual machines running on the same physical server to access separate storage resources Low latency (1.5 µs Ethernet ports and 2.0 µs Enet/Fibre Channel ports) throughput provides switch-like performance. Line Rate, full-duplex 480 Gbps bridging fabric MTU up to 9216 Bytes - Jumbo Frames Supports up to 32K L2 MAC entries and 1K IGMP groups VLAN Tagging, Pass-Thru and Link Aggregation supported on all uplinks In tunneled VLAN mode, up to 4,096 networks are supported per network uplink and server downlink. In mapped VLAN mode, up to 1,000 networks are supported on network uplinks per Share Uplink Set, domain or module and on server downlinks up to 162 networks are supported per 10Gb physical port (VC v3.30 or later). Stack multiple Virtual Connect FlexFabric modules with other VC FlexFabric, VC Flex-10 or VC Ethernet Modules across up to 4 BladeSystem enclosures allowing any server Ethernet port to connect to any Ethernet uplink
