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 following:

The number of devices and the anticipated demand. This will determine the number of ports that are needed and the number of switches.

The transmission speeds of your HBAs and SFPs. The SFP ports support 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, and 4-Gbps transmission speeds depending on the SFP. 8-Gbps I/O blades also support 8-Gbps.

NOTE:

Setting an SFP port to 1-Gbps that has an 8-Gbps SFP transceiver will down the port.

The distribution of target and initiator devices. An F_Port supports a single device. An FL_Port can support up to 126 devices in an arbitrated loop.
