Q

4 – Managing Switches Configuring a Switch

4.9.1.4

Broadcast Support

Broadcast is supported on the SANbox2 which allows for TCP/IP support. Broadcast is implemented using the proposed standard specified in Multi-Switch Broadcast for FC-SW-3, T11 Presentation Number T11/02-031v0. FSPF is used to setup a fabric spanning tree used in transmission of broadcast frames. Broadcast frames are retransmitted on all ISLs indicated in the spanning tree and all online F/FL_Ports. Broadcast zoning is supported with Access Control List (ACL) and Virtual Private Fabric (VPF) hard zones. When a broadcast frame is received, these hard zones are enforced at the F/FL_Port. If the originator of the broadcast is in a hard zone, the frame is retransmitted on all online F/FL_Ports within the hard zone. If the originator of the broadcast frame is not in a hard zone, the frame is retransmitted on online F/FL_Ports that are not in a hard zone.

4.9.1.5

Inband Management

Inband management is the ability to manage switches across inter-switch links using SANbox Manager, SNMP, IPFC, management server, or the application programming interface. The switch comes from the factory with inband management enabled. If you disable inband management on a particular switch, you can no longer communicate with that switch by means other than a direct Ethernet or serial connection.

4.9.1.6

FC-SW-2 Compliance for Zoning

When a zone set is activated, SANbox2 switches and other FC-SW-2 compliant switches propagate the active zone set to all switches in the fabric. Some non-FC- SW-2 compliant switches propagate not only the active zone set, but the entire zoning database. Disabling this parameter causes the SANbox2 switch to propagate the zoning database, and therefore, interoperate with non-FC-SW-2 switches. For FC-SW-2 compliant fabrics, this parameter should be enabled.

Note: The FC-SW-2 Compliant setting must be the same on all switches in

the fabric, otherwise the inter-switch links will not connect.
