1 – Introduction Technical Support S Notes 1-18 59096-06 A
2 General Description This section describes the features and capabilities of the SANbox 5600 Series Fibre Channel switches. This includes the model 5600 and the dual power supply model 5602 as shown in Figure 2-1.
S 2 – General Description Chassis Controls and LEDs Refer to the SANbox 5600 Series QuickTools Switch Management User Guide for information about QuickTools. Refer to the SANbox 5600 Series Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide for information about using the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application. Chassis Controls and LEDs The chassis LEDs provide information about the switch’s operational status.
A 2 – General Description Chassis Controls and LEDs Heartbeat LED (Green) The Heartbeat LED indicates the status of the internal switch processor and the results of the 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.
S 2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports To exit maintenance mode and return to normal operation, press and release the Maintenance button momentarily to reset the switch. Fibre Channel Ports The SANbox 5600 Series switch has sixteen Fibre Channel Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports and four Fibre Channel XPAK ports. The SFP ports are numbered 0–15 as shown in Figure 2-3. Each SFP port is served by an SFP optical transceiver and is capable of 1-, 2-, or 4-Gbps transmission.
A 2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports Port LEDs Each port has its own Logged-In LED (L) and Activity LED (A) as shown in Figure 2-4.
2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports S Transceivers The SANbox 5600 Series switch supports SFP optical transceivers for the SFP ports and XPAK optical transceivers or XPAK stacking cables for the XPAK ports. A transceiver converts electrical signals to and from optical laser signals to transmit and receive data. Duplex fiber optic cables plug into the SFP transceivers which then connect to the devices.
A 2 – General Description Ethernet Port Ethernet Port The Ethernet port is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a management workstation through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable. Figure 2-5 shows the Ethernet port on a model 5600; the model 5602 is similar. A management workstation can be a Windows®, Solaris™, or a Linux® workstation that is used to configure and manage the switch fabric.
S 2 – General Description Serial Port Serial Port The SANbox 5600 Series switch is equipped with an RS-232 serial port for maintenance purposes. Figure 2-6 shows the serial port on a model 5600 switch; the model 5602 is similar. You can manage the switch through the serial port using the CLI. RS-232 Connector Pin Identification Serial Port L 0 A L 1 A L 2 A L 3 A L 4 A L 5 Figure 2-6 Serial Port and Pin Identification The serial port requires a null-modem F/F DB9 cable.
A 2 – General Description Power Supplies and Fans Power Supplies and Fans The model 5600 switch has a single power supply that converts 100–240 VAC to DC voltages for the various switch circuits. Four internal fans provide cooling. The switch monitors internal air temperature, and therefore does not monitor or report fan operational status. Air flow is front-to-back. To energize the switch, plug the power cord into the switch AC receptacle and into a 100–240 VAC power source.
2 – General Description Switch Management S Switch Management The switch supports the following management tools: QuickTools Web Applet Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 Command Line Interface Application Programming Interface Simple Network Management Protocol Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S) File Transfer Protocols QuickTools Web Applet To provide basic switch management tools in a graphical user interface and to make switch management less dependent on a partic
A 2 – General Description Switch Management Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 is a separately licensed workstation-based Java® application that provides a graphical user interface for full fabric and switch management. Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 is designed for managing fabrics of four or more switches. Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 can run on a Windows, Solaris, Linux, or Mac OS X workstation.
2 – General Description Switch Management S Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. SANbox firmware supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3, the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2. Refer to the SANbox Simple Network Management Protocol Reference Guide for more information.
3 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Device Access Performance Feature Licensing Multiple Chassis Fabrics Switch Services Internet Protocol Support 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. Zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery and inbound traffic.
A 3 – Planning Performance Performance The SANbox 5600 Series switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 1-, 2-, 4-, or 10-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 Regardless of how many credits are borrowed, extending credits requires a minimum cable length that is dependent on transmission speed. Extending credits over short cables can cause excessive port resets. Table 3-2 describes the possible distances and minimum cable lengths for a port with 30 credits. Table 3-2. Extended Credit Distances and Cable Lengths Transmission Speed Range for 30 Credits Minimum Cable Length 1-Gbps 50 Km (30÷0.6) 3 Km 2-Gbps 25 Km (30÷1.2) 1.
A 3 – Planning Feature Licensing Latency Latency is a measure of how fast a frame travels from one port to another. The factors that affect latency include transmission rate and the source/destination port relationship as shown in Table 3-3. Table 3-3. Port-to-Port Latency Source Rate Destination Rate 1 Gbps 2 4 8 10 1 < 0.6 µsec < 0.8 µsec1 < 0.8 µsec1 < 0.8 µsec1 2 < 0.5 µsec < 0.4 µsec < 0.4 µsec1 < 0.4 µsec1 4 < 0.4 µsec < 0.3 µsec < 0.3 µsec < 0.3 µsec1 10 < 0.4 µsec < 0.
S 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Fabric Security provides access to the following security tools (refer to “Security” on page 3-15 for more information): Security for Ethernet connections using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol and Telnet connections using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol Device and switch authorization and authentication using the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).
A 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics The SANbox 5600 Series switch provides the lowest latency of any product in its class. Refer to “Performance” on page 3-3 for information about latency. However, the highest performance is achieved on Fibre Channel switches by keeping traffic within a single switch instead of relying on ISLs. Therefore, for optimal device performance, place devices on the same switch under the following conditions: Heavy I/O traffic between specific server and storage devices.
S 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Stacking You can connect up to six 20-port SANbox 5600 Series switches together through the XPAK ports, thus preserving the user 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 contributes 1.275 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 5600 switches using three 3-inch and three 9-inch XPAK switch stacking cables. Sixty-four SFP ports are available for devices. Figure 3-3 Four-Switch Stack Figure 3-4 shows a five-switch stack of model 5600 switches using ten XPAK switch stacking cables. Eighty SFP ports are available for devices.
S 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Figure 3-5 shows a six-switch stack of model 5600 switches using eight XPAK switch stacking cables. Ninety-six SFP ports are available for devices. Figure 3-5 Six Switch Stack Common Topologies Although QLogic recommends using the XPAK stacking ports to achieve the highest cabling efficiency and bandwidth, you can also create multiple switch configurations using the SFP ports.
A 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 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. The loop reduces latency because any switch can route traffic in the shortest direction to any switch in the loop. The loop also provides failover should a switch fail.
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 16-port SANbox 5600 Series switches the mesh fabric shown in Figure 3-7 has the following characteristics: Each link contributes up to 425 MB of bandwidth between switches, 850 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 16-port SANbox 5600 Series switches, the Multistage fabric shown in Figure 3-8 has the following characteristics: Each link contributes up to 425 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 Internet Protocol Support 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 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, QuickTools, and Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007™. 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.
A 3 – Planning Security Port Binding Port binding provides authorization for a list of up to 32 switch and device WWNs that are permitted to log in to a particular switch port. Switches or devices that are not among the 32 are refused access to the port. Consider what ports to secure and the set of switches and devices that are permitted to log in to those ports. For information about port binding, refer to the SANbox 5600 Series Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
S 3 – Planning 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 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 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 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 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 Security 1. 2. 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 Security b. For CHAP authentication, create 32-character hexadecimal or 16-character ASCI secrets. The switch secret must be shared with the HBA security database. 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.
A 3 – Planning 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.
S 3 – Planning 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.
A 3 – Planning Fabric Management Fabric Management The Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application executes on a management workstation and provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of multiple fabrics. Supported platforms include Windows, Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X. Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 is available for purchase from your authorized reseller.
