The Cisco MDS 48-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet module delivers integrated Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), simplifies the
network infrastructure and helps reduce costs. The FCoE module allows you to extend the existing Fibre Channel SANs by
using FCoE. The Cisco MDS 48-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet module supports connectivity to FCoE switching platforms and to
FCoE devices. This module also supports connectivity to FCoE initiators and targets that only send FCoE traffic.
