Hi,

We have a fabric composed by 2 Nexus 6004. The links between the 2 Nx 6004 are configured with vE_ports.

What is the maximum length for the links between the 2 Nexus 6004 ?

Many thanks in advance.

Nicolas.

I found the following, which is most likely not up to date

Q. Is the Nexus 6004 capable of long distance FCoE and will this functionality work at FCS?

The Nexus 6004 hardware allows FCoE distances up to 100km with 10GbE interface, 30km with 40GbE interface between two Nexus 6004 devices. However at FCS, the FCoE distance will be limited to 300m. Future software release will provide CLI tuning options to support longer distance.

•300m FCoE at FCS (optical transceiver distance limitation)

10-km FCoE for 10 GE and 40 GE ports with global QoS policy (roadmap)
