Refer to Section 5 Diagnostics/Troubleshooting for information about troubleshooting fan failure conditions. 2.2.2.4 Over Temperature LED (Amber) The Over Temperature LED provides status information about the air temperature inside the switch.
2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.3.1 Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceivers An SFP transceiver, like the one shown in Figure 2-6, 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 2.3.3 Port Modes SANbox2-64 switches support the following port modes: ■ Generic ports (GL_Port and G_Port) ■ Fabric ports (FL_Port and F_Port) ■ Translated loop ports (TL_Port) ■ Expansion ports (E_Port) Switches come from the factory with all ports configured as GL_Ports. GL_Ports self-configure in the following ways: ■ FL_Port when connected to a loop of public devices ■ F_Port when connected to a single public device.
2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.3.3.2 Translated Loop Port A TL_Port supports a loop of up to 125 private initiator devices or up to 124 private target devices with the ability to communicate with “off-loop” devices. This includes public fabric devices and private devices on other TL_Ports. TL_Ports connect to devices that conform to the Fibre Channel-Private Loop SCSI Direct Attach (FC-PLDA) standard. Devices connected to TL_Ports are registered with the Name Server.
2 – General Description Ethernet Port 2.4 Ethernet Port The Ethernet port is a RJ-45 connector located on the CPU module as shown in Figure 2-7. This port requires a 10/100BASE-T cable and provides a connection for a management workstation, such as a PC, a Solaris™ workstation, or a Linux® workstation, through which to manage the switch. You can manage the switch over an Ethernet connection using SANbox Manager, the Command Line Interface (CLI), or SNMP.
2 – General Description Serial Port 2.5 Serial Port The SANbox2-64 switch is equipped with an RS-232 serial port for maintenance purposes. The serial port is located on the CPU module as shown in Figure 2-8. 6 1 9 5 Serial Port Figure 2-8. Serial Port The serial port connector requires a null-modem F/F DB9 cable.

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, the types of device (public or private), and the anticipated demand. This will determine the number of ports that are needed and in turn the number of switches. Consider how many switches are needed and how to connect the devices.
3 – Planning Devices 3.1.2 Redundancy and Latency When planning a fabric, consider how to create redundant paths and minimize latency. Initiators and targets experience the least amount of latency when connected to the same I/O blade. For example, connecting initiator and target “A” ports together on one I/O blade and initiator and target “B” ports on another I/O blade, as shown in Figure 3-1, creates redundant paths and minimizes latency. Initiators A B A B Targets Figure 3-1.
3 – Planning Devices For a multiple switch fabrics in which initiators on one switch communicate with targets on another, the same principles apply as shown in Figure 3-2. The “A” port initiators and E_Ports are grouped together on one I/O blade with connections to the corresponding “A” port targets and E_Ports on the same I/O blade on the second switch. “B” port initiators, targets, and links are connected in a similar way. Initiators A A B B Targets Figure 3-2.
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 selfconfiguring, you can connect SANbox2-64 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 The SANbox2-64 switch supports describes three commonly used fabric topologies: ■ Cascade ■ Mesh ■ Multistage® 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. The loop reduces latency because any switch can route traffic in the shortest direction to any switch in the loop.
3 – Planning Performance 3.3 Performance The SANbox2-64 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 Zone 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.
