Section 3 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Device access Performance Multiple chassis fabrics Fabric security Fabric management 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 the number of switches. Consider how many and what types of switches are needed.
0 3 – Planning Device Access 3.2 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: Group devices by 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. Reserve a path and its bandwidth from one port to another.
0 3 – Planning Device Access 3.2.1 Soft Zones Soft zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling device discovery. Devices in 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.
0 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.
0 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 3-2. Table 3-2.
0 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.4 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 Fibre Channel ports are self-configuring, you can connect SANbox2-16 and other FC-SW-2 compliant switches together in a wide variety of topologies. 3.4.
0 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.4.2 Domain ID, Principal Priority, and Domain ID Lock The following switch configuration settings affect multiple chassis fabrics: Domain ID Principal priority Domain ID lock The domain ID is a unique number from 1–239 that identifies each switch in a fabric. The principal priority is a number (1–255) that determines the principal switch which manages domain ID assignments for the fabric.
0 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.4.3 Common Topologies The SANbox2-16 switch supports three commonly used fabric topologies: Cascade Mesh Multistage® 3.4.3.1 Cascade Topology A cascade topology describes a fabric in which the switches are connected in series. 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.
0 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.4.3.2 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.
0 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.4.3.3 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.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Security 3.5 Fabric Security Fabric security consists of the following: User account security Fabric services 3.5.1 User Account Security User account security consists of the administration of account names, passwords, expiration date, and authority level. If an account has Admin authority, all management tasks can be performed by that account in both SANsurfer Switch Manager and the Command Line Interface. Otherwise only monitoring tasks are available.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Management You can also enable or disable the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is the protocol governing network management and monitoring of network devices. SNMP security consists of a read community string and a write community string, that are the passwords that control read and write access to the switch.
