This IBM® Redbooks® document introduces the IBM Converged Switch B32. This switch supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Fibre Channel, Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), and traditional Ethernet protocol connectivity for servers and storage.

Features of the IBM Converged Switch B32 include:
A 32-port multiprotocol switch for server I/O consolidation
Enterprise-class availability for business continuance
Improved return on investment and investment protection
Fabric security for mission-critical information
