Figure 3 shows that each ProLiant c7000 enclosure can support multiple single-wide Flex-10 Enet modules within a single VC domain. Figure 3. ProLiant c7000 enclosure module bays • 8 bays; up to 4 redundant I/O fabrics • Up to 94% reduction in cables • Supports Ethernet, FC, IB, iSCSI, SAS Tunneling Flex-10 supports both tunneling and mapping of OS VLAN tags. In tunneling mode, VC will pass OS-tagged data straight through the Flex-10 Enet module without examining it. For example, if the OS sends an orange tagged packet, that packet passes through to the data center switch without examination, as shown in Figure 4. The data center switch then sends the OS tagged packet back into the Flex-10 Enet module through the shared uplink and on to the intended target. 7

Tunneling
Flex-10 supports both tunneling and mapping of OS VLAN tags. In tunneling mode, VC will pass
OS-tagged data straight through the Flex-10 Enet module without examining it. For example, if the OS
sends an orange tagged packet, that packet passes through to the data center switch without
examination, as shown in Figure 4. The data center switch then sends the OS tagged packet back
into the Flex-10 Enet module through the shared uplink and on to the intended target.
