Page 39: Planning
Section 3 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Device Access Performance Multiple Chassis Fabrics Switch Services 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 the number of switches.
Page 40: 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: Group devices by operating system. Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in the fabric or have classified data.
Page 41: Soft Zones
3 – Planning Device Access 3.2.1 Soft Zones Soft zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling device discovery. Devices in 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 42: Performance
3 – Planning Performance Performance The SANbox2-8c switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes at transmission rates of 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps. A switch 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.
Page 43: 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 nominal rates of 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps depending on the device to which it is connected. This corresponds to actual bandwidth values of 106 MB and 212 MB respectively.
Page 44: Multiple Chassis Fabrics
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 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 can automatically resolve domain ID conflicts. Because the Fibre Channel ports are self-configuring, you can connect the SANbox2-8c switch with other switches in a wide variety of topologies.
Page 45: Domain Id, Principal Priority, And Domain Id Lock
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.4.2 Domain ID, Principal Priority, and Domain ID Lock The following switch configuration settings affect multiple chassis fabrics: Domain ID Principal priority Domain ID lock The domain ID is a unique number from 1–239 that identifies each switch in a fabric.
Page 46: Common Topologies
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.4.3 Common Topologies The SANbox2-8c switch supports the following topologies: Cascade Topology Mesh Topology Multistage Topology 3.4.3.1 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 cascade-with-a-loop topology as shown in Figure 3-1.
Page 47: Mesh Topology
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.4.3.2 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 48: Multistage Topology
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.4.3.3 Multistage Topology A Multistage® topology describes a fabric in which two or more edge switches connect to one or more core switches. 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 49: Switch Services
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: Telnet: Provides for the management of the switch over a Telnet connection.
Page 50: Fabric Security
3 – Planning Fabric Security Network Time Protocol (NTP): Provides for the synchronizing of switch and workstation dates and times with an NTP server. This helps to prevent invalid SSL certificates and timestamp confusion in the event log. The default is disabled. Common Information Model (CIM): Provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use CIM.
Page 51: Connection Security
3 – Planning Fabric Security 3.6.1 Connection Security Connection security provides an encrypted data path for switch management methods. The switch supports the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol for the command line interface and the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for management applications such as SANsurfer Switch Manager and Common Information Module (CIM).
Page 52: Device Security
3 – Planning Fabric Security 3.6.2 Device Security 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.
Page 53: Security Example: Switches And Hbas
3 – Planning Fabric Security 3.6.2.1 Security Example: Switches and HBAs Consider the fabric shown in Figure 3-4. In this fabric, Switch_1, HBA_1, and Switch_2 support security while the JBOD and HBA_2 do not. The objective is to secure F_Ports and E_Ports in the fabric. To do this, configure security on the devices that support security: Switch_1, Switch_2, and HBA_1.
Page 54 3 – Planning Fabric Security 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. For example, if you specify a switch with a port worldwide name in the switch security database, you must also specify that switch in the HBA security database with the same port worldwide name.
Page 55 3 – Planning Fabric Security Configure security on Switch_2. Create a security set (Security_Set_2) on Switch_2. Create a port group (Group_Port_2) in Security_Set_2.
