Using SFP+ port with a QLOGIC card?
Hi,
I'm new to the networking through SFP+ / Fiber cables and was wondering if I could find a little help on here
I own a Netgear XS505M unmanaged switch with one SFP+ 10-Gigabit port and was looking to see if my hardware setup would work
All my RJ-45 ports are taken, hence the decision to try the SFP+ one
Does a Qlogic QLE2562 8GB Fiber Channel HBA card would successfully connect to the switch's 10 SFP+ port through Finisar FTLF8528P2BCV-QL Transceivers at both ends using fiber optic cable?
I'm not sure if a HBA is actually a ethernet NIC / card adapter either
Thanks a lot in advance and regards,
Afaid no, Fiber Channel cards like this 8GB Fibre Channel (8GFC) are not Ethernet. Same for the FTLF8528P2BCV which are Fiber Channel SFP+ modules and as such not covering 10Gb Ethernet.

- Thanks, appreciate it. I read what you said and found a little more infos about this kind of card. Indeed not related to ethernet 😅
I’ll look into other options then, have a nice day
