Preface Technical Support xxvi 59265-02 B
1 General Description The QLogic 5800V Series switch, shown in Figure 1-1, is a 24-port, 8Gbps Fibre Channel switch with both Ethernet and serial management interfaces. The model 5802V has dual, replaceable power supplies; the model 5800V switch has a single, non-replaceable power supply.
1–General Description Chassis Controls and LEDs You can manage fabrics with the CLI, the QuickTools™ Web applet, or Enterprise Fabric Suite™ (version 7.04). Refer to theQLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide for information about the CLI. Refer to the QLogic 5800V Series QuickTools Switch Management User’s Guide for information about QuickTools.
1–General Description Chassis Controls and LEDs Heartbeat LED (Green) The Heartbeat LED indicates the status of the internal switch processor and the results of the power-on self test (POST). Following a normal power-up, the Heartbeat LED blinks approximately once per second to indicate that the switch passed the POST and that the internal switch processor is running. In maintenance mode, the Heartbeat LED remains lit.
1–General Description Fibre Channel Ports Fibre Channel Ports The QLogic 5800V Series switch has 20 Fibre Channel SFP ports and 4 Fibre Channel XPAK ports. SFP ports are numbered 0–19 as shown in Figure 1-3. Each SFP port is served by an SFP optical transceiver, and is capable of 1, 2, 4, or 8Gbps transmission. SFP ports are hot-pluggable and can self-discover both the port type and transmission speed when connected to devices or other switches.
1–General Description Fibre Channel Ports Port LEDs Each port has its own Logged-In LED (L) and Activity LED (A) as shown in Figure 1-4. Logged-In LED Logged-In LED Activity LED Activity LED Figure 1-4. Port LEDs Port Logged-In LED (Green) The Logged-in LED indicates the logged-in or initialization status of the connected devices. After successful completion of the POST, the switch extinguishes all Logged-In LEDs.
1–General Description Fibre Channel Ports The SFP and XPAK transceivers are hot-pluggable. This means that you can remove or install a transceiver while the switch is operating without harming the switch or the transceiver. However, communication with the connected device will be interrupted. For more information about installing and removing transceivers, refer to “Install the Transceivers” on page 3-5.
1–General Description Ethernet Port Ethernet Port The Ethernet port is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a management workstation through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable as shown in Figure 1-5. A management workstation can be a Windows®, Solaris®, or a Linux® workstation that is used to configure and manage the switch fabric. You can manage the switch over an Ethernet connection using the CLI, QuickTools, or SNMP.
1–General Description Serial Port Serial Port The QLogic 5800V Series switch is equipped with an RS-232 serial port for maintenance purposes, as shown in Figure 1-6. You can manage the switch through the serial port using the CLI. 1 5 6 9 RS-232 Connector Pin Identification Serial Port Figure 1-6. Serial Port and Pin Identification The serial port requires a null-modem F/F DB9 cable. The pins on the switch RS-232 connector are shown in Figure 1-6 and identified in Table 1-2.
1–General Description Power Supplies and Fans Power Supplies and Fans The model 5800V switch is equipped with a single, non-replaceable power supply. The model 5802V switch is equipped with dual, replaceable power supplies. Model 5800V The model 5800V switch has a single power supply that converts 100–240 VAC to DC voltages for the various switch circuits. Internal fans provide cooling. The switch monitors internal air temperature, and therefore does not monitor or report fan operational status.
1–General Description Switch Management Switch Management The switch supports the following management tools: QuickTools Web Applet Enterprise Fabric Suite Command Line Interface Application Programming Interface Simple Network Management Protocol Storage Management Initiative–Specification File Transfer Protocols QuickTools Web Applet To provide basic switch management tools in a graphical user interface, and to make switch management less dependent on a specific platform, each
1–General Description Switch Management Enterprise Fabric Suite Enterprise Fabric Suite is a separately licensed, workstation-based, Java® application that provides a graphical user interface for fabric and switch management. Enterprise Fabric Suite is best suited for fabrics of four or more switches, and comes with a 30-day trial license. Enterprise Fabric Suite can run on a Windows, Solaris, Linux, or Mac OS X workstation.
1–General Description Switch Management Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. QLogic firmware supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3, the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. You can format traps using SNMP version 1 or 2. For more information about SNMP, refer to the Simple Network Management Protocol Reference Guide.
2 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. The number of devices will determine the number of ports that are needed, and in turn, the number of switches. Consider the transmission speeds of your adapters and SFPs.
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. Separate devices into department, administrative, or other functional group. Zoning divides the fabric to control discovery and inbound traffic.
2–Planning 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.
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. Extended Credit Distances and Cable Lengths Transmission Speed Range for 30 Credits Minimum Cable Length 1Gbps 50 Km (30÷0.6) 3 Km 2Gbps 25 Km (30÷1.2) 1.5 Km 4Gbps 12 Km (30÷2.4) 0.75 Km 8Gbps 6 Km (30÷4.
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. Table 2-4. Port-to-Port Latency Source Rate Destination Rate 1 Gbps 2 4 8 10 20 2 < 0.6 µs < 0.7 µs 1 < 0.6 µs1 < 0.6 µs1 < 0.6 µs1 4 < 0.4 µs < 0.3 µsec < 0.4 µsec1 < 0.4 µsec1 < 0.3 µsec1 8 < 0.3 µs < 0.2 µs < 0.2 µs < 0.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Multiple Chassis Fabrics Connecting switches expands 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 QLogic 5800V Series switches in a wide variety of topologies. Transparent routing to a legacy fabric is also possible using TR_Ports.
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 (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.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Stacking 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. The following 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-switch stacking configurations are recommended for best performance and redundancy. Each XPAK port contributes 1.275GB of bandwidth between chassis in each direction, which is equivalent to three SFP connections operating at 4Gbps.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Figure 2-3 shows a four-switch stack of model 5800V Series switches using three 3-inch and three 9-inch XPAK switch stacking cables. Eighty SFP ports are available for devices. Figure 2-3. Four-Switch Stack Figure 2-4 shows a five-switch stack of model 5800V Series switches using four 3-inch and six 9-inch XPAK switch stacking cables. One hundred SFP ports are available for devices. Figure 2-4.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Figure 2-5 shows a six-switch stack of model 5800V Series switches using two 3-inch and six 9-inch XPAK switch stacking cables. One hundred twenty SFP ports are available for devices. Figure 2-5. Six Switch Stack Common Topologies Although QLogic recommends using the XPAK stacking ports to achieve the highest cabling efficiency and bandwidth, you can also create multiple switch configurations using the SFP ports.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 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 2-6. The loop reduces latency because any switch can route traffic in the shortest direction to any switch in the loop. The loop also provides failover if a switch fails.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 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. Using 24-port QLogic 5800V Series switches, the mesh fabric shown in Figure 2-7 has the following characteristics: Each link contributes up to 850MB of bandwidth between switches, 1700MB in full duplex.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics MultiStage Topology A Multistage topology describes a fabric in which two or more edge switches connect to one or more core switches. Using 24-port QLogic 5800V Series switches, the Multistage fabric shown in Figure 2-8 has the following characteristics: Each link contributes up to 850MB of bandwidth between chassis. Competition for this bandwidth is less than that of a cascade topology, but greater than that of the mesh topology.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics You can configure transparent routing using QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric Suite, or the CLI. However, only QuickTools and Enterprise Fabric Suite validate your entries, manage the zone mapping for the local fabric, and create a list of zoning commands that can be run in a script on an Brocade or Cisco SAN switch.
2–Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics Because Cisco switches do not support the Unzoned Name Server, Cisco fabrics must be “pre-zoned” before you can set up TR mappings to a remote Cisco fabric using the TR Mapping Manager dialog box. The Cisco fabric zone set must be changed to add zones so that the WWNs of the remote devices to be mapped and the WWNs of the QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch TR ports are zoned together.
2–Planning Switch Services The name of the inter-fabric zone begins with IFZ followed by the lowest device port WWN followed by the remaining port WWN, all uppercase, separated by underscores (_). For example, consider the following local and remote device WWNs: Local device: 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:d3:59 Remote device: 22:00:00:04:cf:a8:7f:2d The inter-fabric zone name would be: IFZ_210000E08B0ED359_22000004CFA87F2D 4.
2–Planning Switch Services Secure Socket Layer (SSL): Provides secure connections for Enterprise Fabric Suite, the QuickTools Web applet, the API, and SMI-S. This service must be enabled to authenticate users through a remote authentication dial in-user service (RADIUS) server when using Enterprise Fabric Suite. To enable SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time on the switch and workstation. Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on the switch.
2–Planning Internet Protocol Support Internet Protocol Support The switch supports IP version 4 (IPV4), IP version 6 (IPV6), and DNS host names. IPV4 and IPV6 are enabled by default. Consider your IP version requirements and the availability of a DNS server.
2–Planning Security IP Security IP security provides encryption-based security for IPv4 and IPv6 communications through policies and associations. Policies define security for host-to-host and host-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.
2–Planning Security Connection Security Connection security provides an encrypted data path for switch management methods. The switch supports the SSH protocol for the command line interface and the SSL protocol for management applications such as Enterprise Fabric Suite and SMI-S. The SSL handshake process between the workstation and the switch involves the exchanging of certificates. These certificates contain the public and private keys that define the encryption.
2–Planning Security In addition to authorization, you can configure the switch to require authentication to validate the identity of the connecting switch, device, or host. Authentication can be performed locally using the switch’s security database, or remotely using a RADIUS server such as Microsoft RADIUS. With a RADIUS server, the security database for the entire fabric resides on the server. In this way, the security database can be managed centrally, rather than on each switch.
2–Planning Security Security Example: Switches and Adapters with Authentication Consider the fabric shown in Figure 2-9. In this fabric, Switch_1, Adapter_1, and Switch_2 support authentication, while the JBOD and Adapter_2 do not. The objective is to secure F_Ports and E_Ports in the fabric.
2–Planning Security To secure F_Ports and E_Ports in the fabric, configure security on the devices that support security: Switch_1, Switch_2, and Adapter_1: 1. Create a security set (Security_Set_1) on Switch_1. a.
2–Planning Security b. Create an ISL group (Group_ISL_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1, Switch_2, Adapter_1, and JBOD as members, as shown in the following table: Switch_1 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4c Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: 0123456789abcdef Binding: None Switch_2 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4e Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: abcdefabcdef012 Binding: None The Switch_1 secret must be shared with the Switch_2 database. 2.
2–Planning Security Security Example: RADIUS Server Consider the fabric shown in Figure 2-10. This fabric is similar to the one shown in Figure 2-9 with the addition of Radius_1 acting as a RADIUS server.
2–Planning Security To secure F_Ports and E_Ports, and pass authorization and authentication to a RADIUS server: 1. Configure the Radius_1 host as a RADIUS server on Switch_1 and Switch_2 to authenticate device logins, as shown in the following table: Device Authentication Order RadiusLocal—Authenticate devices using the RADIUS server security database first. If the RADIUS server is unavailable, use the local switch security database.
2–Planning Security Observe the following rules: b. 59265-02 B Switch_1 and all devices and switches connected to Switch_1 must be included in the group even if the switch or device does not support authentication. Otherwise, the Switch_1 port will become isolated from the fabric. You must specify adapters by node WWN. Switches can be specified by port or node WWN. The type of switch WWN you use in the switch security database must be the same as that in the adapter security database.
2–Planning Security 5. Create a security set (Security_Set_2) on Switch_2. Create an ISL group (Group_ISL_2) in Security_Set_2 with Switch_1 and Switch_2 as members, as shown in the following: Switch_2 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4e Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: abcdefabcdef0123 Binding: None Switch_1 Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4c Authentication: CHAP Primary Hash: MD5 Primary Secret: 0123456789abcdef Binding: None 6. 2-28 Save and activate Security_Set_2 on Switch_2.
2–Planning Security Security Example: Host Authentication Consider the fabric shown in Figure 2-11. In this fabric, only Switch_2 and Adapter_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 adapter or an associated host application.
2–Planning Security To secure the management server on Switch_2 from unauthorized access by an adapter or an associated host application: 2-30 1. Create a security set (Security_Set_2) on Switch_2. 2. Create a management server group (Group_1) in Security_Set_2 with Switch_2 and Adapter_2 or APP_2 as its member. You must specify adapters by node WWN. Switches can be specified by port or node WWN.
2–Planning Fabric Management Fabric Management The Enterprise Fabric Suite application runs on a management workstation and provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of multiple fabrics. Supported platforms include Windows, Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X. Enterprise Fabric Suite comes with a 30-day trial license—a permanent license is available for purchase from your authorized reseller.
