10G ports is for Ethernet connections only and work with etherner protocols like TCP/IP but 16G ports is for SAN connections and work with different protocols like FC protocol, so different protocol different speed different SFP type, this cannot work like this
From what I understand, SmartIO10ETH module can be used to connect FC connections too. So if I were to change the SFP to a 16G on the SmartIO10ETH module, will it work with the SN3000B?
