Section 3 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Device Access Performance Multiple Chassis Fabrics Switch Services Fabric Security Fabric Management 3.1 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. Consider how many and what types of switches are needed.
0 3 – Planning Device Access 3.2 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. Separate devices into department, administrative, or other functional group. Reserve a path and its bandwidth from one port to another.
0 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. The following rules apply to soft zones: Soft zones that include members from multiple switches need not include the ports of the inter-switch links.
0 3 – Planning Performance 3.3 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. Related performance characteristics include the following: Distance Bandwidth Latency 3.3.
0 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. Two 1-Gbps source ports can transmit to the same 2-Gbps destination port. Similarly, one 2-Gbps source port can feed two 1-Gbps destination ports.
0 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.4 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. 3.4.
0 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. The principal priority is a number (1–255) that determines the principal switch which manages domain ID assignments for the fabric.
0 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.
0 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. Because of multiple parallel paths, there is less competition for this bandwidth than with a cascade or a Multistage topology.
0 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. Competition for this bandwidth is less than that of a cascade topology, but greater than that of the mesh topology.
0 3 – Planning Switch Services 3.5 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: 59042-08 A Telnet: Provides for the management of the switch over a Telnet connection. Disabling this service is not recommended. The default is enabled.
0 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. The default is enabled.
0 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). The SSL handshake process between the workstation and the switch involves the exchanging of certificates.
0 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. Device security is configured through the use of security sets and groups. A group is a list of device worldwide names that are authorized to attach to a switch.
0 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.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Security b. 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.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Security 4. Configure security on Switch_2. Create a security set (Security_Set_2) on Switch_2. a. Create a port group (Group_Port_2) in Security_Set_2. HBA_2 is the only member because HBA_2 does not support authentication. Port Group on Switch_2: Group_Port_2 HBA_2 b. Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4c Authentication: None Binding: None Create an ISL group (Group_ISL_2) in Security_Set_2 with Switch_1 and Switch_2 as members.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Security 3.6.2.2 Security Example: RADIUS Server Consider the fabric shown in Figure 3-5. This fabric is similar to the one shown in Figure 3-4 with the addition of Radius_1 acting as a RADIUS server.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Security 1. Configure the Radius_1 host as a RADIUS server on Switch_1 and Switch_2 to authenticate device logins. Specify the server IP address and the secret with which the switches will authenticate with the server. Configure the switches so that devices authenticate through the switches only if the RADIUS server is unavailable. Radius_1 Configuration on Switch_1 and Switch_2 2.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Security b. 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.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Security 5. Configure security on Switch_2. Create a security set (Security_Set_2) on Switch_2. a. Create a port group (Group_Port_2) in Security_Set_2. HBA_2 is the only member because HBA_2 does not support authentication. Port Group on Switch_2: Group_Port_2 HBA_2 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4c Authentication: None Binding: None b. Create an ISL group (Group_ISL_2) in Security_Set_2 with Switch_1 and Switch_2 as members.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Security 3.6.2.3 Security Example: Host Authentication Consider the fabric shown in Figure 3-6. In this fabric, only Switch_2 and HBA_2/APP_2 support security, where APP_2 is a host application. The objective is to secure the management server on Switch_2 from unauthorized access by an HBA or an associated host application.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Security For MD5 authentication, create secrets. MS Group: Group_1 59042-08 A Switch_2 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:c3:4e CT Authentication: True Hash: MD5 Secret: 9876543210fedcba9 HBA_2 or APP_2 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:c3:4d CT Authentication: True Hash: MD5 Secret: fedcba9876543210 3. Configure security on HBA_2 or APP_2 using the appropriate management tool. Logins between the Switch_2 and HBA_2 or APP_2 will be challenged (MD5) for their respective secrets.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Security 3.6.3 User Account Security User account security consists of the administration of account names, passwords, expiration date, and authority level. If an account has Admin authority, all management tasks can be performed by that account in both SANsurfer Switch Manager™ and the Telnet command line interface. Otherwise only monitoring tasks are available. The default account name, Admin, is the only account that can create or change account names and passwords.
0 3 – Planning Fabric Management 3.7 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, and Linux. 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.
