  • Page 35: Planning

    Section 3 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Multiple chassis fabrics Performance Device access Fabric management Fabric security 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 36: 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 SANbox2-8c and other FC-SW-2 compliant switches together in a wide variety of topologies.

  • Page 37: Common Topologies

    3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.2.2 Common Topologies The SANbox2-8c 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 38: 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 39: 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 40: Performance

    Performance 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.

  • Page 41: 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 42: 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 43: 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 44: Virtual Private Fabric Hard Zones

    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.

  • Page 45: Security

    Inter-switch link security controls whether connections are permitted with other switches. You can configure a SANbox2-8c switch to connect with FC-SW-2 compliant switches only, SANbox2 switches only, or to reject all connections regardless of switch type. Refer to the ”Set Config Command”...
