  • Page 37: Planning

    Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Device Access Performance Feature Licensing 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 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 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 have classified data.

  • Page 39: Performance

    3 – Planning Performance Performance The SANbox 5802V switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 2-, 4-, 8-,10-, or 20-Gbps 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 40: Latency

    3 – Planning Performance In multiple chassis fabrics, each link between chassis contributes 424, 850, 1700, 2550, or 5100 megabytes of bandwidth between those chassis, depending on the speed of the link. When additional bandwidth is needed between devices, increase the number of links between the connecting switches. The switch guarantees in-order delivery with any number of links between chassis.

  • Page 41: Feature Licensing

    3 – Planning Feature Licensing Feature Licensing NOTE: License keys enable commands and keywords in the CLI. License keys do not affect the capabilities of the QuickTools web applet. License keys provide a way to expand the capabilities of your switch and fabric as your needs grow.

  • 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 5802V switches together in a wide variety of topologies.

  • Page 43: Domain Id, Principal Priority, And Domain Id Lock

    3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 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 44: Stacking

    3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Stacking You can connect up to six SANbox 5802V switches together through the XPAK ports, thus preserving the SFP ports for devices. This is called stacking. The following 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-switch stacking configurations are recommended for best performance and redundancy.

  • Page 45: Four-Switch Stack

    3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Figure 3-3 shows a four-switch stack of model 5802V switches using three 3-inch and three 9-inch XPAK switch stacking cables.
