Cisco FCoE License for Nexus 7700 48-Port 10G | Cloud Licensing — N77-FCOE-F248XP

Activate Fibre Channel over Ethernet capability on Cisco Nexus 7700 48-port 10G systems with a license designed for data center storage networking. This entitlement is intended for environments where Ethernet and storage traffic must coexist under a unified switching architecture. For infrastructure teams, the value is in feature control. Rather than overprovisioning hardware or introducing separate fabrics, this license enables FCoE functionality on an existing Nexus 7700 platform, helping preserve design consistency and reduce operational complexity. It is a targeted purchase for organizations that have already standardized on Cisco switching and need storage transport capabilities tied to that platform. The 48-port 10G association makes this license relevant to dense, high-throughput deployments where port utilization and fabric planning matter. Compared with generic licensing options, this model is specific to the Nexus 7700 family and the exact port configuration, which helps procurement and architecture teams match spend to the installed base. For enterprises building around Cisco data center switching, it is a precise way to extend capability without changing the core platform. Ideal For Activating FCoE on a Cisco Nexus 7700 48-port 10G switch Supporting converged storage and Ethernet traffic in a data center fabric Expanding Cisco switching capability without replacing the base platform Standardizing storage networking features across Nexus 7700 deployments Why This Product 1 Specific to Nexus 7700 48-port 10G rather than a generic switch license 2 Adds FCoE capability without changing the underlying platform 3 Supports converged storage networking in high-density data centers 4 Feature license model keeps capability tied to the installed base
