  • Page 38: Device Access

    2–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 by operating system  Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in the fabric or have classified data.

  • Page 39: Performance

    Performance Performance The QLogic 9000 Series switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, and 10-Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes. A 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: Bandwidth

    2–Planning Performance Regardless of how many credits are borrowed, extending credits requires a minimum cable length that is dependent on transmission speed. Extending credits over short cables can result in excessive port resets. Table 2-2 describes the distances that are possible for a port with 30 credits and the minimum cable lengths.

  • Page 42: Multiple Chassis Fabrics

    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 QLogic 9000 Series switch with other switches in a wide variety of topologies.

  • Page 43: Optimizing Device Performance

    Storage applications such as video distribution, medical record storage/retrieval or real-time data acquisition can have specific latency or bandwidth requirements. The QLogic 9000 Series switch provides the lowest latency of any product in its class. Refer to “Performance” on page 2-3 for information about latency and bandwidth.

  • Page 44: Domain Id, Principal Priority, And Domain Id Lock

    2–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 45: Interconnecting Qlogic 9000 Series Switches

    NOTE: If you connect two QLogic 9000 Series switches that have the same domain ID, the switches will isolate–there is no automatic domain ID conflict resolution. You must explicitly change the domain ID on one of the switches.

  • Page 46: Switch Services

    2–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 48: Internet Protocol Support

    2–Planning Internet Protocol Support Internet Protocol Support The switch supports IP version 4, IP version 6, and Domain Name System (DNS) host names. IP versions 4 and 6 are enabled by default. Consider your IP version requirements and the availability of a DNS server. Security Security is available at the following levels: ...

  • Page 49: Ip Security

    2–Planning Security IP Security IP Security provides encryption-based security for IP version 4 and IP version 6 communications through the use of security policies and associations. Policies can define security for host-to-host, host-to-gateway, and gateway-to-gateway connections; one policy for each direction. For example, to secure the connection between two hosts, you need two policies: one for outbound traffic from the source to the destination, and another for inbound traffic to the source from the destination.

  • Page 50: Device Security

    2–Planning Security Consider your requirements for connection security: for the command line interface (SSH), management applications such as Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 (SSL), or both. Access to the device security menu selections in Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 requires an SSL connection. If an SSL connection security is required, also consider using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize workstations and switches.
