  • Page 37: Planning

    Section 3 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Device Access Performance Fabric Security Fabric Management Devices When planning a fabric, consider the number of public devices and the anticipated demand. This will determine the number of ports that are needed and in turn the number of switches.

  • Page 38: 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 39: 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 40: Performance

    3 – Planning Performance Performance The SANbox 1400 Series switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes at transmission rates of 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, or 4-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 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 Fibre Channel port can transmit or receive at nominal rates of 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, or 4-Gbps depending on the device to which it is connected. This corresponds to actual bandwidth values of 103 MB, 206 MB, and 412 MB respectively.

  • Page 42: 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 SANbox 1400 Series switches together in a wide variety of topologies.

  • Page 43: 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.

If an account has Admin authority, all management tasks can be performed by that account in both SANsurfer Switch Manager™...

  • Page 45: Fabric Management

    3 – Planning Fabric Management Fabric Management The SANsurfer Switch Manager application and CLI execute on a management workstation that provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of multiple fabrics. Supported platforms include Windows, Solaris, Linux, and MacOS X. The application can be installed and executed on the workstation, or you can run the SANsurfer Switch Manager web applet that is resident on the switch.
