Dear Experts,

I have a scenario:

Servers (CNA-FCoE) ----> (FCoE) N5K (FCIP) ----> Layer 3 ---- <<WAN>> ------
Layer 3 ------> (FCIP) N5K (FC) ---------> Server (HBA - FC only)

FCoE will be on the new DR site whereas FC is currently working on the Main
Site.

Following are the questions:

1- Can Nexus do FCIP? Please explain and give some example

2- Can we easily connect traditional FC to Nexus directly on the existing
Main Site and forward traffic through FCIP?

3- Will this solution work properly (from servers prospective) where we have
one site is using FC and other will be on FCoE?

Regards,
Anser
