Information About Ethernet Interfaces

DCNM-SAN and Device Manager display configuration settings and status information about the 
physical Ethernet interfaces on Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches. However, you cannot change the 
configuration for physical Ethernet interfaces using DCNM-SAN or Device Manager.

</p>
<a name="wp1304468"> </a><p class="pBody">
The Ethernet ports can operate as standard Ethernet interfaces connected to servers or to a LAN. The 
Ethernet interfaces also support Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). FCoE allows the physical Ethernet 
link to carry both Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic.

</p>
<a name="wp1304472"> </a><p class="pBody">
On a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch, the Ethernet interfaces are enabled by default.
