Section 2 General Description This section describes the features and capabilities of the SANbox2-8c Fibre Channel switch. The following topics are described: ■ Chassis controls and LEDs ■ Fibre channel ports ■ Ethernet port ■ Serial port ■ Power supply and fan ■ Fabric management Fabrics are managed with the SANbox Manager switch management application (version 1.04) and the Command Line Interface (CLI).
2 – General Description Chassis Controls and LEDs 2.1 Chassis Controls and LEDs The Reset/Force PROM button shown in Figure 2-2 is the only chassis control and is used to recover a disabled switch. The chassis LEDs provide information about the switch’s operation status. These LEDS include the Over Temperature LED, Fan Fail LED, Heartbeat LED, and the Input Power LED. To apply power to the switch, plug the power cord into the switch AC power receptacle and into a 110 or 230 VAC power source.
2 – General Description Chassis Controls and LEDs 2.1.1.1 Resetting a Switch To reset the switch, use a pointed tool to press and release (less than 2 seconds) the Reset/Force PROM button. The switch will respond as follows: 1. All of the chassis LEDs will illuminate and then extinguish leaving only the Input Power LED illuminated. 2. After approximately 1 minute, the power-on self test begins illuminating all chassis LEDs. 3.
2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.1.4 Heartbeat LED (Yellow) 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 force PROM mode, the Heartbeat LED illuminates continuously.
2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.2.1 Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceivers SFP transceivers plug into the ports; duplex fiber optic cables plug into the transceivers which then connect to the devices. A port is capable of transmitting at 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps; however, the transceiver must be capable of 2 Gbps for the port to deliver at that rate. The SFP transceivers are hot swappable.
2 – General Description Fibre Channel Ports 2.2.4 Port Modes SANbox2-8c 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 2.2.4.2 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 2.3 Ethernet Port The Ethernet port shown in Figure 2-4 is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a management workstation. A management workstation can be a Windows, Solaris, or Linux workstation that is used to configure and manage the switch fabric. You can manage the switch over an Ethernet connection using SANbox Manager, the Command Line Interface (CLI), or SNMP. The switch through which the fabric is managed is called the fabric management switch.
2 – General Description Serial Port 2.4 Serial Port The SANbox2-8c switch is equipped with an RS-232 serial port for maintenance purposes as shown in Figure 2-5. You can manage the switch through the serial port using the CLI. 5 1 6 9 Serial Port Figure 2-5. Serial Port and Pin Identification The serial port connector requires a null-modem F/F DB9 cable. The pins on the switch RS-232 connector are shown in Figure 2-5 and identified in Table 2-1.
2 – General Description Power Supply and Fan 2.5 Power Supply and Fan The power supply converts standard 110 or 230 VAC to DC voltages for the various switch circuits. An internal fan provides cooling. Depending on the switch model, air flow is front-to-back or back-to-front. To energize the switch, plug the power cord into the switch AC receptacle and into a 110 or 230 VAC power source. Note: The power supply and fan are not field replaceable units. 2.
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 and the anticipated demand. This will determine the number of ports that are needed and in turn the number of switches. Consider how many and what types of switches are needed.
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 self-configuring, you can connect SANbox2-8c 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 This section describes three commonly used topologies: ■ Cascade ■ Mesh ■ Multistage® 3.2.2.1 Cascade Topology A cascade topology describes a fabric in which the switches are connected in a line. 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. The loop reduces latency because any switch can route traffic in the shortest direction to any switch in the loop.
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.2.2.2 Mesh Topology A mesh topology describes a fabric in which each chassis has at least one port directly connected to every chassis in the fabric. The 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.
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.2.2.3 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.
3 – Planning Performance 3.3 Performance The SANbox2-8c 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 grouping.
3 – Planning Device Access 3.4.1 Soft Zones 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.
