3 – Managing Fabrics Security Once access is gained to the entry switch in a fabric, that user may access all switches in that fabric (if ISL Security is not disabled). Refer to ”Inter-Switch Link Security” on page 3-2 for more information. 3.1.2 Inter-Switch Link Security Inter-Switch Link security pertains to whether the switches in the fabric are configured to permit access to each switch in that fabric.
3 – Managing Fabrics Managing the Fabric Database 3.2 Managing the Fabric Database A fabric database contains the set of fabrics that you have added during a SANbox Manager session. Initially, the SANbox Manager application opens with an empty fabric database. 3.2.1 Adding a Fabric To add a fabric to the database, do the following: 1. Open the Fabric menu and select Add Fabric to open the Add a New Fabric window as shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1 Add a New Fabric Window 2.

Open the Fabric menu and select Remove Fabric. 3.2.3 Opening a Fabric View File To open an existing view file, do the following: 1. Open the File menu, and select Open View File, or choose the Open button.
3 – Managing Fabrics Replacing a Failed Switch 3.2.6 Adding a New Switch to a Fabric If there are no special conditions to be configured for the new switch, simply plug in the switch and the switch becomes functional with the default fabric configuration. The default fabric configuration settings are: ■ Fabric zoning is sent to the switch from the fabric. ■ All ports will be GL_Ports. ■ The default IP address 10.0.0.
3 – Managing Fabrics Replacing a Failed Switch 2. At the replacement switch: a. Mount the switch in the location where the failed switch was removed. b. Install the SFPs using the same ports as were used on the failed switch. CAUTION! c. Do not reconnect inter-switch links, target devices, and initiator devices at this time. Doing so could invalidate the fabric zoning configuration. Attach the AC cords and power up the switch. 3. Select the failed switch in the topology display.
3 – Managing Fabrics Displaying Fabric Information 3.4 Displaying Fabric Information The topology display is your primary tool for monitoring a fabric. The graphics window of the topology display provides status information for switches, inter-switch links, and the Ethernet connection to the management workstation. The data window tabs show name server, switch, and active zone set information. The Active Zoneset tab shows the zone definitions for the active zone set.
3 – Managing Fabrics Displaying Fabric Information Table 3-1 Topology Display Switch and Status Icons Switch Icon Description SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Normal operation (Green) SANbox2-8c Switch Normal operation (Green) Non-QLogic Switch, or a QLogic Switch with different security than the fabric management switch.
3 – Managing Fabrics Displaying Fabric Information 3.4.2 Active Zone Set Data Window The Active Zoneset data window displays the zone membership for the active zone set that resides on the fabric management switch. The active zone set is the same on all switches in the fabric – you can confirm this by adding a fabric through another switch and comparing Active Zone Set displays. To open the Active Zoneset data window, choose the Active Zoneset tab below the data window in the topology display.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5 Zoning a Fabric Zoning enables you to divide the ports and devices of the fabric into zones for more efficient and secure communication among functionally grouped nodes. This subsection addresses the following topics: ■ Zoning concepts ■ Using the Zoning Config window ■ Restoring default zoning ■ Using the Edit Zoning window ■ Merging fabrics and zoning ■ Managing zone sets ■ Managing zones ■ Managing aliases 3.5.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.1.1.1 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. Soft zones that include members from multiple switches need not include the ports of the inter-switch links.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric Note: Domain ID conflicts can result in automatic reassignment of switch domain IDs. These reassignments are not reflected in zones that use domain ID and port number pairs or Fibre Channel addresses to define their membership. Be sure to reconfigure zones that are affected by a domain ID change. To prevent zoning definitions from becoming invalid when the membership is defined by domain ID/port number or Fibre Channel address, you must lock domain IDs.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric ■ Maximum number of zonesets is 256 ■ Maximum number of zones per zone set is 256 ■ Maximum total number of zones is 1000 ■ Maximum number of aliases is 256 ■ Maximum number of members per zone is 2000 ■ Maximum number of members per alias is 2000 ■ Maximum total number of zone and alias members is 2000 3.5.1.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.2.1 Auto Save The Auto Save parameter determines whether changes to the active zone set that a switch receives from other switches in the fabric will be saved to permanent memory on that switch. Changes are saved when an updated zone set is activated. Zoning changes are always saved to temporary memory. However, if Auto Save is enabled, the switch firmware saves changes to the active zone set in both temporary and permanent memory.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.4 Merging Fabrics and Zoning If you join two fabrics with an inter-switch link, the active zone sets from the two fabrics attempt to merge. The fabrics may consist of a single switch or many switches already connected together. The switches in the two fabrics attempt to create a new active zone set containing the union of each fabric’s active zone set. The propagation of zoning information only affects the active zone set, not the configured zone sets. 3.5.4.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.5 Using the Edit Zoning Window To edit the zoning database for a particular switch, open the Zoning menu from the faceplate display and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning window shown in Figure 3-4. Changes can only be made to inactive zone sets, which are stored in flash (non-volatile) memory and retained after resetting a switch. The Edit Zoning window has a Zone Sets tree on the left and a Port/Device (or members) tree on the right.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric Using tool bar buttons, popup menus, or a drag-and-drop method, you can create and manage zone sets and zones in the zoning database. The Apply button saves changes to the zoning database without closing the window. The OK button saves the zoning changes to the database and closes the window.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.6 Managing Zone Sets Zoning a fabric involves creating a zone set, creating zones as zone set members, then adding devices as zone members. The zoning database supports multiple zone sets to serve the different security and access needs of your storage area network, but only one zone set can be active at one time.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.6.2 Activating and Deactivating a Zone Set You must activate a zone set to apply its zoning definitions to the fabric. Only one zone set can be active at one time. When you activate a zone set, the switch distributes that zone set to the temporary zoning database on every switch in the fabric. If Auto Save is enabled, the new active zone set is saved in the permanent zoning database also. Refer to ”Auto Save” on page 3-14.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.6.5 Removing a Zone Set Removing a zone set from the database affects the member zones in the following ways. ■ Member zones that are members of other zone sets are not affected. ■ Member zones that are not members of other zone sets become members of the orphan zone set. The orphan zone set is saved on the switch. To delete a zone set from the database, do the following: 1.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric Note: Changes that you make to the zoning database are limited to the managed switch and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to configured zone sets fabric wide, you must edit the zoning databases on the individual switches. 3.5.7.1 Creating a Zone in a Zone Set When a zone is created, its zone type is soft. To change the zone type to a hard zone, refer to ”Changing Zone Types” on page 3-23 for more information.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.7.2 Adding Zone Members Adding a zone member to a zone will affect every zone set in which that zone is a member. To add member ports/devices to a zone, do one of the following: ■ Select a port by port number, Fibre Channel address, or worldwide name in the Port/Device tree, and drag it into the zone. To select and drag multiple ports/devices, press and hold the Control key while dragging.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.7.5 Removing a Zone from a Zone Set Removing a zone from a zone set will affect every zone set in which that zone is a member. Zones that are no longer members of any zone set are moved to the orphan zone set. The orphan zone set is saved on the switch. To delete a zone from a zone set: 1. In the Edit Zoning window, select the zone to be removed. 2. Open the Edit menu and select Remove. 3.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.8 Managing Aliases An alias is a collection of objects that can be zoned together. An alias is not a zone, and can not have a zone or another alias as a member. Note: Changes that you make to the zoning database are limited to the managed switch and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to configured zone sets fabric wide, you must edit the zoning databases on the individual switches. 3.5.8.
3 – Managing Fabrics Zoning a Fabric 3.5.8.2 Adding a Member to an Alias The three ways to add a member to an alias are: ■ Drag-and-drop method. ■ Select the alias in the left pane and the member in the right pane to add to that alias, and choose the Insert button. ■ Select the alias in the left pane and the member in the right pane to add to that alias, and open the Edit menu and select Add Members. To add a member to an alias using the drag-and-drop method, do the following: 1.

4 – Managing Switches Managing Alarms Figure 4-4. Alarm Threshold Configuration Window 3. Check the Enable All Alarm Thresholds box to enable monitoring for all the individual alarm types that are enabled. The Enable All Alarm Thresholds box is the master control for the individual alarms. For example, the switch will monitor CRC errors only if both the CRC Error Enable box and the Enable All Alarm Thresholds box are checked. 4. Select an event type from the Alarm Threshold pull-down menu.
4 – Managing Switches Managing Alarms 6. Enter a value for the rising threshold. A rising threshold alarm is generated when the event count exceeds the rising threshold. The switch will not generate another rising threshold alarm for that event until the count descends below the falling threshold and rises again above the rising threshold. Consider the example in Figure 4-5.
4 – Managing Switches Exporting Name Server Information to a File 4.3 Exporting Name Server Information to a File To save name server information to a file, open the topology display and do the following: 1. Select one or more switches. If no switches are selected, name server information is gathered for the all switches. 2. Open the Switch menu and select Export Name Server. 3. In the Save window, enter a file name. 4. Choose the Save button. 4.
4 – Managing Switches Setting Temperature Thresholds 4.6 Setting Temperature Thresholds You can set temperature thresholds by which the switch will generate an alarm or place the switch offline. The Temperature Thresholds dialog shown in Figure 4-6 prompts you to enter a warning threshold and a failure threshold temperature in °C. ■ If the switch internal temperature exceeds the warning threshold, the switch generates an alarm.
4 – Managing Switches Configuring a Switch 4.8.1 Switch Properties Use the Switch Properties window to change the chassis name, administrative state, domain ID, to enable or disable broadcast support, and to enable or disable inband management. Broadcast support provides support for TCP/IP. The timeout values are displayed for reference purposes only when the switch is online; they become active when the switch is taken offline.
4 – Managing Switches Configuring a Switch 4.8.1.2 Switch Administrative States The switch administrative state determines the operational state of the switch and its ports. The switch administrative state exists in two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state. ■ The configured administrative state is the state that is saved in the switch configuration and is preserved across switch resets.
4 – Managing Switches Configuring a Switch If you connect a new switch to an existing fabric with its domain ID unlocked, and a domain conflict occurs, the new switch will isolate as a separate fabric. However, you can remedy this by resetting the new switch or taking it offline then back online. The principal switch will reassign the domain ID and the switch will join the fabric. Note: Domain ID reassignment is not reflected in zoning that is defined by domain ID and port number pair.
4 – Managing Switches Configuring a Switch 4.8.1.6 Timeout Values The switch timeout values determine the timeout values for all ports on the switch. Table 4-5 describes the switch timeout parameters. The R_A_TOV, R_T_TOV, or E_D_TOV values must be the same for all switches in the fabric. Note: Timeout values can be changed only if the switch is offline.
4 – Managing Switches Configuring a Switch 4.8.2 Network Properties Use the Network Properties window shown in Figure 4-8 to change IP and SNMP configuration parameters. After making changes, choose the OK button to put the new values into effect. To open the Network Properties window, open the Switch menu and select Network Properties. Note: Since Read Community, Trap Community, and Write Community settings are like passwords, they are write-only fields; the current settings are not displayed.
4 – Managing Switches Configuring a Switch 4.8.2.1 IP Configuration The IP configuration identifies the switch on the Ethernet network and determines which boot method to use. Table 4-6 describes the IP configuration parameters. Table 4-6 IP Configuration Parameters Parameter 4-18 Description IP Address Internet Protocol (IP) address for the Ethernet port. The default and PROM mode value is 10.0.0.1. Subnet mask Subnet mask address for the Ethernet port. The default and PROM mode value is 255.0.
4 – Managing Switches Configuring a Switch 4.8.2.2 Remote Logging The Remote Logging (syslog) feature enables saving of the log information to a remote host that supports the syslog protocol. When enabled, the log entries are sent to the syslog host at the IP address that you specify in the Logging Host IP Address field. Log entries are saved in the internal switch log whether this feature is enabled or not. To save log information to a remote host, you must edit the syslog.
4 – Managing Switches Configuring a Switch 4.8.2.4 SNMP Trap Configuration The SNMP trap configuration defines how traps are set. Table 4-8 describes the SNMP configuration parameters.

To open the Name Server data window, select one or more switches in the topology display and choose the Name Server tab below the data window. You can also open the Name Server data window in the faceplate display. Refer to Table 4-1 for a description of the Name Server data window entries. 5.
5 – Managing Ports Configuring Ports 5.2.1 Changing Port Administrative States The port administrative state determines the operational state of a port. The port administrative state exists in two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state. ■ The configured administrative state is the state that is saved in the switch configuration and is preserved across switch resets. SANbox Manager always makes changes to the configured administrative state.
5 – Managing Ports Configuring Ports 4. Choose the Apply button to write the new port speed to the switch. Table 5-8 Port Speeds State Description Auto-Detect Matches the transmission speed of the connected device. This is the default. 1Gb Sets the transmission speed to 1 Gbps. 2Gb Sets the transmission speed to 2 Gbps. 5.2.3 Changing Port Modes The SANbox2 switch ports support both public and private devices as single devices or in loops.
5 – Managing Ports Configuring Ports 5.2.4 Changing TL Modes You can configure a TL_Port to support a loop of private target devices or a loop of private initiator devices. ■ For a loop of up to 124 private target devices, choose the TL Target radio button. This enables up to 63 initiator devices anywhere in the fabric to automatically connect with the private devices on the TL_Port.
5 – Managing Ports Configuring Ports 5.2.7 Extending Port Credits Each port is supported by a data buffer with a 12 credit capacity; that is, 12 maximum sized frames. For fibre optic cables, this enables full bandwidth service over a distance of 20 kilometers at 1 Gbps (0.6 credits/Km), or 10 kilometers at 2 Gbps (1.2 credits/Km). Longer distances can be spanned at full bandwidth by borrowing credits from designated donor ports thus pooling the buffer capacities. This is called credit extension.
5 – Managing Ports Configuring Ports Figure 5-3 Extended Credits Window 4. To confirm that the requested credits were received, reopen the Extended Credits window and match the number of credits in the "Ext Credits Requested" column with the number in the "Donated to Port" column. Note: As credits are used, the Logged-In LEDs on the corresponding donor ports illuminate continuously. In addition, donor port Activity LEDs will reflect the same traffic as the recipient port.
5 – Managing Ports Testing Ports 5.3 Testing Ports The port loopback tests verify correct port operation by sending a frame out through the loop, and then verifying that the frame received matches the frame that was sent. Only one port can be tested at a time for each type of test. The Port Loopback Test window shown in Figure 5-4 presents the following tests: ■ SerDes level (Internal) - The SerDes level test verifies port circuitry.
5 – Managing Ports Testing Ports Note: The SerDes (Internal) and SFP (External) level tests disrupt communication on the selected port. The Node-to-Node (Online) level test does not disrupt communication, because the requires that the port be online. To run the internal, external, or online port loopback test on a port, do the following: 59022-05 A 1. In the faceplate display, select the port to be tested. 2. Open the Port menu and select Port Loopback Test to open the Port Loopback Test window.
