    Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric:  Devices  Device Access  Performance  Feature Licensing  Multiple Chassis Fabrics  Switch Services  Internet Protocol Support  Security  Fabric Management Devices When planning a fabric, consider the number of devices and the anticipated demand.

  • Page 40: Device Access

    2–Planning Device Access Device Access Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled through the use of zoning. Some zoning strategies include the following:  Separate devices by operating system.  Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in the fabric or that have classified data.

  • Page 41: Performance

    Performance Performance The QLogic 5800V Series switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 1, 2, 4, 8,10, or 20Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes. Each Fibre Channel 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 42: Bandwidth

    2–Planning Performance Extending credits requires a minimum cable length that is dependent on transmission speed. Extending credits over short cables can cause excessive port resets. Table 2-3 lists the possible distances and minimum cable lengths for a port with 30 credits. Table 2-3.

  • Page 43: Latency

    2–Planning Feature Licensing Latency Latency is a measure of how fast a frame travels through a switch from one port to another. The factors that affect latency include transmission rate and the source and destination port relationship as shown in Table 2-4.

  • Page 44: Multiple Chassis Fabrics

    Transparent routing to a legacy fabric is also possible using TR_Ports. You can connect up to six QLogic 5800V Series switches through the XPAK ports, thus preserving the SFP ports for devices. This is called stacking. QLogic 5800V Series switches divide the XPAK port buffer to balance traffic across the connection.
