0 2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.2.2.3 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.
0 2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.3.1 Port Status LED The Port Status LED is a two-color LED that indicates both logged-in (or loop initialization) status and when the port is transmitting or receiving frames. Following a successful port login or loop initialization, the Port Status LED illuminates green. When the port begins transmitting or receiving frames, the Port Status LED illuminates amber for 50 milliseconds as each frame passes.
0 2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.3.3 Port Types SANbox2-64 switches support generic ports (G_Port, GL_Port), fabric ports (F_Port, FL_Port), and expansion ports (E_Port). Switches come from the factory with all ports configured as GL_Ports. Generic, fabric, and expansion ports function as follows: A GL_Port self-configures as an FL_Port when connected to a public loop device, as an F_Port when connected to a single public device, or as an E_Port when connected to another switch.
0 2 – General Description Ethernet Port 2.4 Ethernet Port The Ethernet port shown in Figure 2-7 is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a management workstation through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable.

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. The switch uses SFP transceivers, but the device host bus adapters you are using may not.
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 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.
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 SANbox2-64 switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes at transmission rates of 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps. A switch 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. 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 nominal rates of 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps depending on the device to which it is connected. This corresponds to actual bandwidth values of 106 MB and 212 MB respectively. Two 1-Gbps source ports can transmit to the same 2-Gbps destination port. Similarly, one 2-Gbps source port can feed two 1-Gbps destination ports.
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 can automatically resolve domain ID conflicts. Because the Fibre Channel ports are self-configuring, you can connect the SANbox2-64 switch with other switches in a wide variety of topologies. 3.4.
0 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 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.
0 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 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.
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.
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 0 3.4.3 Common Topologies The SANbox2-64 switch supports the following 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.
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 Telnet command line interface. Otherwise, only monitoring tasks are available.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Management 3.6 Fabric Management The SANsurfer Switch Manager application and CLI execute on a management workstation that provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of multiple fabrics. Supported platforms include Windows, Solaris, and Linux. The application can be installed and executed on the workstation, or you can run the SANsurfer Switch Manager web applet that is resident on the switch.
