Page 39: Planning
Section 3 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Multiple chassis fabrics Performance Device access 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.
Page 40: Multiple Chassis Fabrics
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 SANbox2-16 and other FC-SW-2 compliant switches together in a wide variety of topologies.
Page 41: Common Topologies
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.2.2 Common Topologies The SANbox2-16 switch supports three commonly used fabric topologies: Cascade Mesh Multistage® 3.2.2.1 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...
Page 42: Mesh Topology
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 each other chassis in the fabric. The example 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.
Page 43: 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.
Page 44: Performance
Performance Performance The SANbox2-16 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.
Page 45: Bandwidth
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.
Page 46: Device Access
3 – Planning Device Access 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.
Page 47: Soft Zones
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.
Page 48: Virtual Private Fabric Hard Zones
3 – Planning Device Access 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.
Page 49: User Account Security
3 – Planning Device Access 3.4.4 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 SANbox Manager and the Command Line Interface.
Page 50: Security Example: Switches And Hbas
3 – Planning Device Access The following examples illustrate how to configure a security database. 3.4.5.1 Security Example: Switches and HBAs Consider the fabric shown in Figure 3-4. In this fabric, Switch_1 and HBA_1 support security while the JBOD, Switch_2 and HBA_2 do not. The objective is to secure F_Ports and E_Ports in the fabric.
