HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module-what 24 port on this one means and also what connectors ??

[techietechie]

Guys new to the abovem,

could you please tell me what 24 port on this one means and also what connectors would i be able to use to connect to my core network switch (ethernet? fibre?) and for fabric switches? (fibre? sfp?)

please shed some more light, i have gone through the quick specs
but according to that
1. 4x 1/10gb ethernet (sfp) - what connectors??
2. 2 x 10gb ethernet or 2/4/8 gb fibre (sfp) what connectors?

above does not equate to 24... so why 24 port??

16 down (to servers) and 8 up (there are 8 ports on the back , x1 - x8, not 6) - just a guess.

This is good..

16 server downlinks...

8 external uplinks.

On the external side, there are 3 groups of ports

G1 = 2 ports, for 10GbE Ethernet or 2/4/8Gb Fibre

G2 = 2 ports, for 10GbE Ethernet or 2/4/8Gb Fibre

G3 = 4 ports 10GbE or 1GbE

Options for these ports are...

SFP, SFP+, Twinax and Active Copper Molded cables

great, makes complete sence and also been through the cookbook, very useful..

would u say the below design would be right for hyper-v or most optimal? i am not too confident about using trunking, i have seem problems, but must admit that is on 1 gb uplink and is serving all the vlans and iscsi as well !!!!! guess 10gb + 10gb according to the figure i..e 20gb (etherchannel) - probably would not suffer from the same, is anyone doing it this way or differently??
