Dell M8428-k Converged 10GbE Switch for M1000e
External ports: 8 x 10GbE Ports supporting DCB + 4 x Fibre Channel Ports (2, 4 or 8Gb)
Internal Ports: 16 x auto negotiated 1G or 10GbE with Wake on Lan support
Supported NIC's / CNA's, Brocade BR1741M-k Converged Network Adapter

The highly integrated M8428-k solution is designed to drive I/O consolidation in the M1000e blade chassis and reduce the need for external switches. External 10GbE ports can be used to connect to DCB-capable LANs, while the Fibre Channel ports allow connectivity to Fibre Channel storage and SANs. With the high level of consolidation provided by this module, IT organizations can meet their networking and storage I/O needs with a single module and reduce potential points of failure. This solution helps reduce infrastructure requirements including adapters, switches, cables and management ports by 50% and drive down overall capital/operation costs of data center networks
