can I use 5548up use as

A Fibre Channel Bridge connects an FCoE network to a Fibre Channel network.

Yes ! but.....

I would propose you do the following setup, instead of having a mix of FCoE and FC

- UCS FI in Fibrechannel end host mode (default)

- connect FI to N5k with classical FC

- This requires the N5k to be configured as NPIV

[Shuja Tirmizi]

hi wdey,

5k is in NPIV mode

I cannot use FC between 5k to ucs, lack of 8gb sfp, 5k is in NPIV mode

[Walter Dey]

ok, understand ! anyway, to solve an issue with hardware, a proper SFP, is much easier and cheaper than a software solution; do you have 4G SFP's ?

Which port type did you configure on the FI for the North bound FCoE link ? and what is the configuration of the peer port on the N5k ?
 

[Shuja Tirmizi]

and How do i add this information in 5k

Add MAC OUI "002a6a", "8c604f", "00defb" ?

You have to upgrade your 5k to at least

6.0(2)N1(2)
