Section 2 General Description This section describes the features and capabilities of the SANbox2-16 Fibre Channel switch. The following topics are described: ■ Chassis controls and LEDs ■ Fibre channel ports ■ Ethernet port ■ Serial port ■ Power supplies ■ Fans ■ Fabric management Fabrics are managed with the SANbox Manager switch management application (version 1.05) and the Command Line Interface (CLI).
2 – General Description Chassis Controls and LEDs 2.1 Chassis Controls and LEDs Chassis controls include the power supply On/Off switches and the Maintenance button as shown in Figure 2-2. The chassis LEDs include the Over Temperature LED, Fan Fail LED, Heartbeat LED, and the Input Power LED. Maintenance Button Chassis LEDs Left Power Switch Right Power Switch Figure 2-2. Chassis Controls and LEDS 2.1.
2 – General Description Chassis Controls and LEDs 2.1.3 Chassis LEDs The chassis LEDs shown in Figure 2-3 provide status information about switch operation. Refer to ”Power Supplies” on page 2-9 for information about power supply LEDs and to ”Port LEDs” on page 2-5 for information about port LEDs. Over Temperature LED (Amber) Fan Fail LED (Amber) Heartbeat LED (Amber) Input Power LED (Green) Figure 2-3. Chassis LEDs 2.1.3.
2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.1.3.3 Heartbeat LED (Amber) The Heartbeat LED indicates the status of the internal switch processor and the results of the Power On Self Test (POST). Following a normal power-up, the Heartbeat LED blinks about once per second to indicate that the switch passed the POST and that the internal switch processor is running. In maintenance mode, the Heartbeat LED illuminates continuously.
2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.2.1 Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceivers An SFP transceiver, like the one shown in Figure 2-5, converts electrical signals to and from optical laser signals to transmit and receive data. SFP transceivers plug into the ports; duplex fiber optic cables plug into the transceivers which then connect to the devices.
2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.2.2.1 Logged-In LED The Logged-in LED indicates the logged-in or initialization status of the connected devices. After successful completion of the POST, the switch extinguishes all Logged-In LEDs. Following a successful loop initialization or port login, the switch illuminates the corresponding logged-in LED. This shows that the port is properly connected and able to communicate with its attached devices.
2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports G_Ports self-configure in the following ways: ■ F_Port when connected to a public device ■ E_Port when connected to another FC-SW-2 compliant switch A TL_Port supports private loop devices and must be configured explicitly. Refer to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for more information about defining port modes. 2.2.3.1 Fabric Ports An FL_Port can support a loop of up to 126 public devices.
2 – General Description Ethernet Port 2.3 Ethernet Port The Ethernet port shown in Figure 2-7 is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a management workstation. A management workstation can be a Windows, Solaris™ workstation, or a Linux® workstation that is used to configure and manage the switch fabric. You can manage the switch over an Ethernet connection using SANbox Manager, the Command Line Interface (CLI), or SNMP.
2 – General Description Power Supplies The serial port connector requires a null-modem F/F DB9 cable. The pins on the switch RS-232 connector are shown in Figure 2-8 and identified in Table 2-1. Refer to ”Connect the Management Workstation to the Switch” on page 4-8 for information about connecting the management workstation through the serial port. Table 2-1.
2 – General Description Fans Each power supply is capable of providing all of the switch’s power needs. During normal operation, each power supply provides half of the demand. If one power supply goes offline, the second power supply steps up and provides the difference. The power supplies are hot swappable and interchangeable. Hot swappable means that you can remove and replace one power supply while the switch is in operation without disrupting service.
2 – General Description Switch Management 2.7 Switch Management SANbox Manager is a workstation-based Java® application that provides a graphical user interface for fabric management. This application runs on a Windows®, Solaris™, or Linux® workstation. The management workstation connects to the fabric directly through one switch’s Ethernet port and provides in-band management for all other switches in the fabric.

Section 3 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: ■ Devices ■ Multiple chassis fabrics ■ Performance ■ Device access ■ Fabric management ■ Fabric security 3.1 Devices When planning a fabric, consider the number of devices and the anticipated demand. This will determine the number of ports that are needed and in turn the number of switches. Consider how many and what types of switches are needed.
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.2 Multiple Chassis Fabrics By connecting switches together you can expand the number of available ports for devices. Each switch in the fabric is identified by a unique domain ID, and the fabric will automatically resolve domain ID conflicts. Because the ports are self-configuring, you can connect SANbox2-16 and other FC-SW-2 compliant switches together in a wide variety of topologies. 3.2.
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.2.2 Common Topologies This section describes three commonly used topologies: ■ Cascade ■ Mesh ■ Multistage® 3.2.2.1 Cascade Topology A cascade topology describes a fabric in which the switches are connected in a linear fashion. If you connect the last switch back to the first switch, you create a cascade-with-a-loop topology as shown in Figure 3-1.
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.2.2.2 Mesh Topology A mesh topology describes a fabric in which each chassis has at least one port directly connected to each other chassis in the fabric. The example mesh fabric shown in Figure 3-2 has the following characteristics: ■ Each link contributes up to 200 MB/s of bandwidth between switches, 400 MB/s in full duplex. Because of multiple parallel paths, there is less competition for this bandwidth than with a cascade or a Multistage topology.
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.2.2.3 Multistage Topology A Multistage topology describes a fabric in which two or more edge switches connect to one or more core switches. Each additional core switch increases the bandwidth to each edge switch by 200 MB/s. The Multistage fabric shown in Figure 3-3 has the following characteristics: ■ Each link contributes up to 200 MB/s of bandwidth between chassis.
3 – Planning Performance 3.3 Performance The SANbox2-16 switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes. A port can transmit or receive at 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps depending on the device to which it is connected. The port discovers the transmission speed prior to login when the connected device powers up. Related performance characteristics include the following: ■ Distance ■ Bandwidth ■ Latency 3.3.
3 – Planning Performance 3.3.2 Bandwidth Bandwidth is a measure of the volume of data that can be transmitted at a given transmission rate. A port can transmit or receive at 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps depending on the device to which it is connected. The switch supports all transmission rate combinations as shown in Table 3-1. Table 3-1.
3 – Planning Device Access 3.4 Device Access Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled by the use of zones and zone sets. Some zoning strategies include the following: ■ Separate devices that use different operating systems. ■ Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in the fabric or have classified data. ■ Separate devices into department, administrative, or other functional group.
3 – Planning Device Access 3.4.1 Soft Zones Soft zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery. Members of the same soft zone automatically discover and communicate freely with all other members of the same zone. The soft zone boundary is not secure; traffic across soft zones can occur if addressed correctly. The following rules apply to soft zones: ■ Soft zones that include members from multiple switches need not include the ports of the inter-switch links.
3 – Planning Fabric Management 3.4.3 Virtual Private Fabric Hard Zones Virtual Private Fabric (VPF) zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery and both inbound and outbound traffic. This type of zoning is useful for providing security and reserving paths between devices to guarantee bandwidth. VPF zoning is a type of hard zoning that is hardware enforced. Members can only transmit to and receive from members of the same VPF zone.
3 – Planning Fabric Security 3.6 Fabric Security You manage fabric security on a switch basis through the creation of user accounts. Each account consists of an account name, a password, and an authority level. There are two authority levels: User and Admin. These authority levels apply to SANbox Manager and to the CLI. User authority permits only monitoring and display tasks. Admin authority permits all management tasks including user administration.
