3 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Device Access Performance Feature Licensing Multiple Chassis Fabrics Switch Services Fabric Security Fabric Management 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 the transmission speeds of your HBAs and SFPs.
S 3 – Planning Device Access Device Access Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled by the use of zoning. Some zoning strategies include the following: Separate devices by operating system. 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.
A 3 – Planning Performance Performance The SANbox 5802V switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 2-, 4-, 8-,10-, or 20-Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes. Each Fibre Channel port adapts its transmission speed to match that of the device to which it is connected prior to login when the connected device powers up.
S 3 – Planning Performance In multiple chassis fabrics, each link between chassis contributes 424, 850, 1700, 2550, or 5100 megabytes of bandwidth between those chassis, depending on the speed of the link. When additional bandwidth is needed between devices, increase the number of links between the connecting switches. The switch guarantees in-order delivery with any number of links between chassis. Latency Latency is a measure of how fast a frame travels through a switch from one port to another.
A 3 – Planning Feature Licensing Feature Licensing NOTE: License keys enable commands and keywords in the CLI. License keys do not affect the capabilities of the QuickTools web applet. License keys provide a way to expand the capabilities of your switch and fabric as your needs grow. Consider your need for the following features and arrange to purchase license keys from your switch distributor or authorized reseller.
S 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 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 can automatically resolve domain ID conflicts. Because the Fibre Channel ports are self-configuring, you can connect SANbox 5802V switches together in a wide variety of topologies.
A 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 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.
S 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Stacking You can connect up to six SANbox 5802V switches together through the XPAK ports, thus preserving the SFP ports for devices. This is called stacking. The following 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-switch stacking configurations are recommended for best performance and redundancy. Each XPAK port at 10-Gbps contributes 1 GB of bandwidth between chassis with one chassis hop between any two ports.
A 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Figure 3-3 shows a four-switch stack of model 5802V switches using three 3-inch and three 9-inch XPAK switch stacking cables. Eighty SFP ports are available for devices. Figure 3-3 Four-Switch Stack Figure 3-4 shows a five-switch stack of model 5802V switches using ten XPAK switch stacking cables. One hundred SFP ports are available for devices.
S 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Figure 3-5 shows a six-switch stack of model 5802V switches using eight XPAK switch stacking cables. One hundred twenty SFP ports are available for devices.
A 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Common Topologies The SANbox 5802V switch supports the following topologies using the Fibre Channel SFP ports: Cascade Topology Mesh Topology MultiStage Topology 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 3-6.
S 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 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. Using 20-port SANbox 5802V switches the mesh fabric shown in Figure 3-7 has the following characteristics: Each link contributes up to 850 MB of bandwidth between switches, 1700 MB in full duplex.
A 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics MultiStage Topology A Multistage™ topology describes a fabric in which two or more edge switches connect to one or more core switches. Using 20-port SANbox 5802V switches, the Multistage fabric shown in Figure 3-8 has the following characteristics: Each link contributes up to 850 MB of bandwidth between chassis. Competition for this bandwidth is less than that of a cascade topology, but greater than that of the mesh topology.
S 3 – Planning Switch Services Switch Services You can configure your switch to suit the demands of your environment by enabling or disabling a variety of switch services. Familiarize yourself with the following switch services and determine which ones you need. Notice that the SSH and SSL services require the Fabric Security license key. 3-14 Telnet: Provides for the management of the switch over a Telnet connection. Disabling this service is not recommended. The default is enabled.
A 3 – Planning Fabric Security Common Information Model (CIM): Provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use the Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S). The default is enabled. File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Provides for transferring files rapidly between the workstation and the switch using FTP. The default is enabled.
S 3 – Planning Fabric Security Fabric security consists of the following: Connection Security User Account Security Port Binding Device Security Connection Security NOTE: You must install the Fabric Security license key to secure connections using SSH and SSL. Connection security provides an encrypted data path for switch management methods.
A 3 – Planning Fabric Security 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 the CLI and QuickTools. Otherwise only monitoring tasks are available. The default account name, Admin, is the only account that can create or add account names and change passwords of other accounts. All users can change their own passwords.
S 3 – Planning Fabric Security Device Security NOTE: You must install the Fabric Security license key to configure and activate device security and RADIUS servers. Device security provides for the authorization and authentication of devices that you attach to a switch. You can configure a switch with a group of devices against which the switch authorizes new attachments by devices, other switches, or devices issuing management server commands.
A 3 – Planning Fabric Security The following examples illustrate how to configure a security database: Security Example: Switches and HBAs with Authentication Security Example: RADIUS Server Security Example: Host Authentication Security Example: Switches and HBAs with Authentication Consider the fabric shown in Figure 3-9. In this fabric, Switch_1, HBA_1, and Switch_2 support authentication while the JBOD and HBA_2 do not. The objective is to secure F_Ports and E_Ports in the fabric.
S 3 – Planning Fabric Security 1. Create a security set (Security_Set_1) on Switch_1. a. Create a port group (Group_Port_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1, HBA_1, and JBOD as members.
A 3 – Planning Fabric Security b. Create an ISL group (Group_ISL_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1, Switch_2, HBA1, and JBOD as members. The Switch_1 secret must be shared with the Switch_2 security database. Switch_1 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4c Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: 0123456789abcdef Binding: None Switch_2 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4e Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: abcdefabcdef012 Binding: None 2.
S 3 – Planning Fabric Security Security Example: RADIUS Server Consider the fabric shown in Figure 3-10. This fabric is similar to the one shown in Figure 3-9 with the addition of Radius_1 acting as a RADIUS server.
A 3 – Planning Fabric Security 1. 59265-00 A Configure the Radius_1 host as a RADIUS server on Switch_1 and Switch_2 to authenticate device logins. Specify the server IP address and the secret with which the switches will authenticate with the server. Configure the switches so that devices authenticate through the switches only if the RADIUS server is unavailable. Device Authentication Order RadiusLocal – Authenticate devices using the RADIUS server security database first.
S 3 – Planning Fabric Security 2. Create a security set (Security_Set_1) on Switch_1. a. 3-24 Create a port group (Group_Port_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1 and HBA_1 as members.
A 3 – Planning Fabric Security b. Create an ISL group (Group_ISL_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1 and Switch_2 as members. The Switch_1 secret must be shared with the Switch_2 security database. Switch_1 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4c Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: 0123456789abcdef Binding: None Switch_2 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4e Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: abcdefabcdef012 Binding: None 3.
S 3 – Planning Fabric Security Security Example: Host Authentication Consider the fabric shown in Figure 3-11. In this fabric, only Switch_2 and HBA_2/APP_2 support security, where APP_2 is a host application. The objective is to secure the management server on Switch_2 from unauthorized access by an HBA or an associated host application.
A 3 – Planning Fabric Security 1. Create a security set (Security_Set_2) on Switch_2. 2. Create a Management Server group (Group_1) in Security_Set_2 with Switch_2 and HBA_2 or APP_2 as its member. You must specify HBAs by node worldwide name. Switches can be specified by port or node worldwide name. The type of switch worldwide name you use in the switch security database must be the same as that in the HBA security database.
S 3 – Planning Fabric Management Fabric Management The browser-based application, QuickTools, and the CLI reside in the switch firmware and provide for the management of individual switches in a single fabric. Consider how many fabrics and switches will be managed, how many management workstations are needed, and whether the fabrics will be managed with QuickTools or the CLI.
