Required Topology Key Points
[Add Presentation Title: Insert tab > Header & Footer > Notes and Handouts] 6/2/2018 Required Topology Key Points Brocade Virtual Cluster Switching (VCS) is a revolutionary layer 2 Ethernet technology that raises network utilization, maximizes application availability, increases scalability, and drastically simplifies the network architecture in next-generation virtualized data centers. VCS is comprises of three main pillars of innovation; Ethernet Fabric, Distributed Intelligence, and Logical Chassis. The VCS architecture is designed to incorporate a set of Dynamic Services for the highest level of functionality and investment protection, making it a core building block for virtualizing the data center network. Ethernet Fabric Brocade pioneered the development, architecture, and deployment of network fabric technology in the data center. Brocade’s SAN fabric technology is successfully proven in over 90% of the Global 1000 data centers. Now Brocade is bringing the same level of innovation to the data center LAN, combining Ethernet and Brocade fabric technology. STP is not necessary because the Ethernet fabric appears as a single logical switch to connected servers, devices, and the rest of the network. The Ethernet fabric is an advanced multi-path network utilizing an emerging standard called TRILL (Transparent Interconnect of Lots of Links). Unlike STP, with TRILL, all paths in the network are active and traffic is distributed across those equal cost paths automatically. In this optimized environment, traffic automatically takes the shortest path for minimum latency without any manual configuration. Events like added, removed, or failed links are not disruptive to the Ethernet fabric and do not require all traffic in the fabric to stop. If a single link fails, traffic is automatically rerouted to other available paths in under a second. Single component failures do not require the entire fabric topology to reconverge, ensuring all traffic is not affected by an isolated issue. The fabric is lossless and low latency. The Ethernet fabric is designed to include advanced Ethernet technology for higher utilization, greater performance, and to be network convergence ready. With Data Center Bridging (DCB) capabilities built-in, the Ethernet fabric is lossless, making it ideal for FCoE and iSCSI storage traffic and will enable LAN and SAN convergence for Tier 2 and 3 applications. Distributed Intelligence With VCS, all configuration and end device information is automatically distributed to each member switch in the fabric. The Ethernet fabric is self forming. When two VCS-enabled switches are connected, the fabric is automatically created and the switches learn the common fabric configuration. The Ethernet fabric does not dictate any specific topology, so it does not restrict over- subscription ratios. This allows the architect to create a topology that best meets application requirements. The fabric is aware of all members, devices, and VMs. When a server connects to the fabric for the first time, all switches in the fabric learn about that server. This allows for fabric switches to be added or removed and for physical or virtual servers to be relocated, without the fabric needing to be manually reconfigured. Unlike switch stacking technologies, the Ethernet fabric is masterless. This means that no single switch stores configuration information or controls fabric operations. Distributed Intelligence supports a more virtualized access layer. Instead of distributed software switch functionality to exist in the virtualization hypervisor, access layer switching is done in the switch hardware, improving performance, ensuring consistent and correct security policies, and simplifying network operations and management. Automatic Migration of Port Profiles (AMPP) supports VM migrations to another physical server, ensuring that the source and destination network ports will have the same configuration for the VM. This is key technology that helps enable Brocade Virtual Access Layer (VAL) capabilities. Logical Chassis All switches in an Ethernet fabric are managed as if they were a single Logical Chassis. To the rest of the network, the fabric looks no different than any other layer 2 switch. The network just sees the fabric as a single switch, no matter if the fabric contains a little as 48 ports, or thousands of ports. The Ethernet fabric is designed to scale over 1000 ports per Logical Chassis. Consequently, VCS removes the need for separate aggregation switches because the fabric is self- aggregating. This enables the network architecture to be flattened, dramatically reducing cost and management complexity. Each physical switch in the fabric is managed as if it were a port module in a chassis. This allows for fabric scalability without manual configuration. When you add a port module to a chassis, you do not have to configure that module, and a switch can be added to the Ethernet fabric just as easily. The logical chassis functionality drastically reduces management of small-form-factor edge switches. Instead of managing each top-of-rack switch or switches in blade server chassis individually, they are managed as one Logical Chassis. Dynamic Services Dynamic Services extends the capabilities of VCS for maximum investment protection and to incrementally incorporate new network services. A Dynamic Service behaves like a special service module in a modular chassis. Examples of these services are fabric extension over distance, native Fibre Channel connectivity, Layer 4-7 services such as Brocade’s Application Resource Broker, and enhanced security services such as firewalls and data encryption. Switches with these unique capabilities can be added to the Ethernet fabric, adding a network service layer available across the entire fabric. © 2010 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.

VCS is comprises of three main pillars of innovation; Ethernet Fabric, Distributed Intelligence, and Logical Chassis. The VCS architecture is designed to incorporate a set of Dynamic Services for the highest level of functionality and investment protection, making it a core building block for virtualizing the data center network. Ethernet Fabric Brocade pioneered the development, architecture, and deployment of network fabric technology in the data center. Brocade’s SAN fabric technology is successfully proven in over 90% of the Global 1000 data centers. Now Brocade is bringing the same level of innovation to the data center LAN, combining Ethernet and Brocade fabric technology. STP is not necessary because the Ethernet fabric appears as a single logical switch to connected servers, devices, and the rest of the network. The Ethernet fabric is an advanced multi-path network utilizing an emerging standard called TRILL (Transparent Interconnect of Lots of Links). Unlike STP, with TRILL, all paths in the network are active and traffic is distributed across those equal cost paths automatically. In this optimized environment, traffic automatically takes the shortest path for minimum latency without any manual configuration. Events like added, removed, or failed links are not disruptive to the Ethernet fabric and do not require all traffic in the fabric to stop. If a single link fails, traffic is automatically rerouted to other available paths in under a second. Single component failures do not require the entire fabric topology to reconverge, ensuring all traffic is not affected by an isolated issue. The fabric is lossless and low latency. The Ethernet fabric is designed to include advanced Ethernet technology for higher utilization, greater performance, and to be network convergence ready. With Data Center Bridging (DCB) capabilities built-in, the Ethernet fabric is lossless, making it ideal for FCoE and iSCSI storage traffic and will enable LAN and SAN convergence for Tier 2 and 3 applications. Distributed Intelligence With VCS, all configuration and end device information is automatically distributed to each member switch in the fabric. The Ethernet fabric is self forming. When two VCS-enabled switches are connected, the fabric is automatically created and the switches learn the common fabric configuration. The Ethernet fabric does not dictate any specific topology, so it does not restrict over- subscription ratios. This allows the architect to create a topology that best meets application requirements. The fabric is aware of all members, devices, and VMs. When a server connects to the fabric for the first time, all switches in the fabric learn about that server. This allows for fabric switches to be added or removed and for physical or virtual servers to be relocated, without the fabric needing to be manually reconfigured. Unlike switch stacking technologies, the Ethernet fabric is masterless. This means that no single switch stores configuration information or controls fabric operations. Distributed Intelligence supports a more virtualized access layer. Instead of distributed software switch functionality to exist in the virtualization hypervisor, access layer switching is done in the switch hardware, improving performance, ensuring consistent and correct security policies, and simplifying network operations and management. Automatic Migration of Port Profiles (AMPP) supports VM migrations to another physical server, ensuring that the source and destination network ports will have the same configuration for the VM. This is key technology that helps enable Brocade Virtual Access Layer (VAL) capabilities. Logical Chassis All switches in an Ethernet fabric are managed as if they were a single Logical Chassis. To the rest of the network, the fabric looks no different than any other layer 2 switch. The network just sees the fabric as a single switch, no matter if the fabric contains a little as 48 ports, or thousands of ports. The Ethernet fabric is designed to scale over 1000 ports per Logical Chassis. Consequently, VCS removes the need for separate aggregation switches because the fabric is self- aggregating. This enables the network architecture to be flattened, dramatically reducing cost and management complexity. Each physical switch in the fabric is managed as if it were a port module in a chassis. This allows for fabric scalability without manual configuration. When you add a port module to a chassis, you do not have to configure that module, and a switch can be added to the Ethernet fabric just as easily. The logical chassis functionality drastically reduces management of small-form-factor edge switches. Instead of managing each top-of-rack switch or switches in blade server chassis individually, they are managed as one Logical Chassis. Dynamic Services Dynamic Services extends the capabilities of VCS for maximum investment protection and to incrementally incorporate new network services. A Dynamic Service behaves like a special service module in a modular chassis. Examples of these services are fabric extension over distance, native Fibre Channel connectivity, Layer 4-7 services such as Brocade’s Application Resource Broker, and enhanced security services such as firewalls and data encryption.

Ethernet Fabric Brocade pioneered the development, architecture, and deployment of network fabric technology in the data center. Brocade’s SAN fabric technology is successfully proven in over 90% of the Global 1000 data centers. Now Brocade is bringing the same level of innovation to the data center LAN, combining Ethernet and Brocade fabric technology. STP is not necessary because the Ethernet fabric appears as a single logical switch to connected servers, devices, and the rest of the network. The Ethernet fabric is an advanced multi-path network utilizing an emerging standard called TRILL (Transparent Interconnect of Lots of Links). Unlike STP, with TRILL, all paths in the network are active and traffic is distributed across those equal cost paths automatically. In this optimized environment, traffic automatically takes the shortest path for minimum latency without any manual configuration. Events like added, removed, or failed links are not disruptive to the Ethernet fabric and do not require all traffic in the fabric to stop. If a single link fails, traffic is automatically rerouted to other available paths in under a second. Single component failures do not require the entire fabric topology to reconverge, ensuring all traffic is not affected by an isolated issue. The fabric is lossless and low latency. The Ethernet fabric is designed to include advanced Ethernet technology for higher utilization, greater performance, and to be network convergence ready. With Data Center Bridging (DCB) capabilities built-in, the Ethernet fabric is lossless, making it ideal for FCoE and iSCSI storage traffic and will enable LAN and SAN convergence for Tier 2 and 3 applications. Distributed Intelligence With VCS, all configuration and end device information is automatically distributed to each member switch in the fabric. The Ethernet fabric is self forming. When two VCS-enabled switches are connected, the fabric is automatically created and the switches learn the common fabric configuration. The Ethernet fabric does not dictate any specific topology, so it does not restrict over- subscription ratios. This allows the architect to create a topology that best meets application requirements. The fabric is aware of all members, devices, and VMs. When a server connects to the fabric for the first time, all switches in the fabric learn about that server. This allows for fabric switches to be added or removed and for physical or virtual servers to be relocated, without the fabric needing to be manually reconfigured. Unlike switch stacking technologies, the Ethernet fabric is masterless. This means that no single switch stores configuration information or controls fabric operations. Distributed Intelligence supports a more virtualized access layer. Instead of distributed software switch functionality to exist in the virtualization hypervisor, access layer switching is done in the switch hardware, improving performance, ensuring consistent and correct security policies, and simplifying network operations and management. Automatic Migration of Port Profiles (AMPP) supports VM migrations to another physical server, ensuring that the source and destination network ports will have the same configuration for the VM. This is key technology that helps enable Brocade Virtual Access Layer (VAL) capabilities. Logical Chassis All switches in an Ethernet fabric are managed as if they were a single Logical Chassis. To the rest of the network, the fabric looks no different than any other layer 2 switch. The network just sees the fabric as a single switch, no matter if the fabric contains a little as 48 ports, or thousands of ports. The Ethernet fabric is designed to scale over 1000 ports per Logical Chassis. Consequently, VCS removes the need for separate aggregation switches because the fabric is self- aggregating. This enables the network architecture to be flattened, dramatically reducing cost and management complexity. Each physical switch in the fabric is managed as if it were a port module in a chassis. This allows for fabric scalability without manual configuration. When you add a port module to a chassis, you do not have to configure that module, and a switch can be added to the Ethernet fabric just as easily. The logical chassis functionality drastically reduces management of small-form-factor edge switches. Instead of managing each top-of-rack switch or switches in blade server chassis individually, they are managed as one Logical Chassis. Dynamic Services Dynamic Services extends the capabilities of VCS for maximum investment protection and to incrementally incorporate new network services. A Dynamic Service behaves like a special service module in a modular chassis. Examples of these services are fabric extension over distance, native Fibre Channel connectivity, Layer 4-7 services such as Brocade’s Application Resource Broker, and enhanced security services such as firewalls and data encryption. Switches with these unique capabilities can be added to the Ethernet fabric, adding a network service layer available across the entire fabric. 3/0/1 © 2010 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
