10 GB switches for network SAN Eql

Hello

We'll buy a new PS4210X 10 GB storage.

We currently have a PS5000, a PS4000E and a PS6100X with 1Gbit Interfaces in the same network. All have their own group. A new will be in its own group.

The network is a ring (a single trunk is open through the Protocol spanning tree) 4 Dell Powerconnect 52XX GBit switch (2 x 24, 2 x 48). 2 switches with 2 tables and 2 servers in a room, 2 1 and 2 in another room.

The switches still have 1-2 years maintenance...

I know the new storage can always run on GBit until we go to 10 GB on the network.

1. what switches Dell or HP 10 GB would you consider for the new network?

2. is it possible to buy 10 GB switches and use 1gbit and 10 Gbit customers stand on this switches at the same time?

3. you would mix the traffic on the physical network with VLAN for your production traffic, or you would still dedicate the entire network for SAN traffic?

Any other consideration?

Thank you.

For those customers who are in some longer period of transition from 1 to 10 GbE, we choose BaseT rather than SFP +.  Thus, the following switch model comes in my mind

Force10 s4820 or N4032/64.  Don't forget that you still have 2 switches with good band stacking bandwidth.

The Force10 comes with 48x10GbE + 4x40GbE. The N4032 have 24 x 10 + 2 x 40 and the N4064 48 x 10 + 4 x 40. Then do the math how many ports you need from the beginning. Stacking is a little less complicated with N40xx the thing (i) VLT on the Force10.

The three models are certified for EqualLogic and we work in a few areas and a customer more have "legacy" servers/devices connected to the new switch gear.

Yes, you should always use VLAN and whenever it's possible traffic stored separately from the rest.

Kind regards

Joerg

  • Suggestion for connecting NetGear switch for network home

    Hi all

    Recently, I bought NetGear ProSafe 8 - Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch GS108E. I would like to ask your help/suggestions to connect to my home network. The other components I have is Motorala SurfBoard SB6121 Cabel Modem and Cisco Valet M10 Wireless router.

    I have a Comcast Blast Plus service and if I check my internet speed by connecting my laptop directly to the cable modem, I get 50 Mbit/s Download and Upload of 11 Mbps. If I connect my laptop to the ethernet port of the router the speed I get is 25 Mbps download and still 11 Mbit/s upload. 50% reduction the internet download speed. So I decide to buy a NetGear Switch so that I can run all my connection cable of the switch and wait for the speed of download of 50 Mbps and 11 Mbps Upload.

    I made the connection like cable Modem--> Switch NetGear--> wireless router. In this configuration no my devices are able to connect to internet and I get message unidentified network. I tried to troubleshoot using the Windows Connection Manager, but he just asks me to turn off and on again. I tried this several times, but was not able to solve the problem.

    I want to return to the NetGear Switch mannual and made connections like shows in the quick installation guide. Cable modem-->--> Switch NetGear wireless router. In this configuration, all my devices are able to connect to internet but I get the speed of 25 Mbps download and 11 Mbps upload, identical to what I was getting into when running connection wireless router wired thorugh.

    So, essentially, NetGear switch does nothing for me except give me a few more ports to run the wired connections.

    It would be a great help if someone can guide me in the resolveing of my problem.

    Kind regards

    Thank you

    Jeff

    Thanks for the additional information. When the switches are stacked, they act as a logical switch. Then when you plug with an OFFSET you are basically creating a loop and hook up a switch on himself. Desempilement switches and just use the OFFSET for the interconnection of the switch and you should see the GAL go active.

  • Should two switches for the installation of iSCSI SAN - be stacked

    I mean by "stacked" should they be hung by backplane?  Reference Dell passes, btw.

    Just two hosts connected to an iSCSI SAN.

    If the goal is to be completely redundant, your server is able to cable a physical NIC directly on each switch and your San can connect to both switches, there is no reason for the connections between these switches. Stacking of the switches can provide options for a large number of cases, but I don't think it will be here.

    You are the very welcome.

    You need these drivers for the remaining devices...

    Ethernet controller:

    This package contains the Realtek driver local area network (LAN) that allows the NIC (NIC) Realtek chip in the notebook models that are running an operating system supported.

    File name: sp56680.exe

    PCI device:

    This package contains the driver that allows the Realtek card reader in laptop models running a supported operating system. The card reader allows users to read or write to removable storage cards supported, which are typically used in digital cameras, digital music players and cell phones.

    File name: sp64801.exe

    Don't forget to install the graphics driver.  That rarely comes as a missing device, but if you see a standard vga adapter that is listed under the category of display device manager cards, this means that you need to install the graphics driver.

    This package provides the AMD graphics driver high definition (HD) and Catalyst Control Center for models of laptop computers that are running an operating system supported. For laptops equipped with switchable graphics modes, this package contains the drivers for the two graphics (GPU). Switchable graphics allow users to switch between a graphical power mode (normally used under the power of the battery) and a mode of graphics performance. If the video output high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

  • Implementation of QOS for on multiple switches for two VLAN

    afternoon all that I was looking for a little help in configuring QOS for two local area networks VIRTUAL, I created. These will be for voice traffic vlan 22 and traffic video vlan23. I also have three other VLAN for pc, wireless devices and our cnc machines. We have 5 switches which are all SG30028P with a single switch making the intervlan routing (Layer 3-powered). all switches are resources shared by the main switch and ive been through the guide written on how to do it on a single switch, which I think is layer 3.

    could someone help me with what I want the video and voice to take precedence over the rest of the traffic

    best regards Patrick

    Right, this way, you can give priority to IP or MAC address.

    No, there is nothing different, only one review of the routing. As the L3 switch can make local routing decisions, the placement of the ACL can vary. In an L2 environment, all packages are transferred to the router, then back down the network to the local destination, so you can clear an ACL on the uplink.

    Since you have a L3 switch, you can practice the same, empty an ACL on the link downstream for L2 switches for all traffic subject to the ACL. Any connection to the L3 switch, you can of course apply an ACL to the uplink router to get all notice of incoming traffic correctly. You can also apply a policy on port source interface to get the note as soon as traffic hits the switch.

    QoS policy is the concept of an ACL, you want it is the closest to the resource. If you apply a QoS policy an uplink upward, QoS will be marked up when it hits this port. Not before. So it should be applied closest to the device as possible. Many times, local QoS is not as important, until it starts to get to the router. As most Cat 6 environments can generally manage all local traffic. So, depending on the number of devices and the amount of traffic, a decently robust network can handle all traffic local then you just give priority to the uplink remarks to ensure that what is important is first.

  • Best configuration of switch for 4 natachasery - 5 ESXi

    So, I need to tell my boys to network how I want the configuration of ports (Cisco switches) for 4 natachasery connection to my HP DL 360. I need the vSwitch VM access to 3 different VLAN. I'm NOT going to use vMotion for this.

    I guess, I see 2 possibilities and does not entirely undesrstand pros / cons...

    First of all, I thought I would split the enet to 2 separate switches cables, but I was told that if I chose that this channel of ports 1 route would be active and 2nd would be Eve. Basically can not paste all 4 cards and divide them. This could reduce the bandwidth, but give me a redundancy using 2 physical switches.

    Or I can have all 4 enet cables go to the same switch (etherchannel), but if this switch would die I'm dead in the water, AND I think that EtherChannel mode WE (my network guy preferred LACP) should stay and LACP cannot be used. According... http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 1004048 I think I should also use 'Hash IP' if EtherChannel is used.

    So what is the advantage or disadvantages of each channel? Thank you!

    This article describes the aggregation of ESX/ESXi links:

    • ESX/ESXi host only supports grouping NETWORK adapters on a single physical switch or stacked switches.
    • Aggregation of links is never supported on disparate networks switches.
    • The switch must be set to perform 802.3ad aggregation of links in static mode WE and the virtual switch must have its defined route based on the IP hashload balancing method.  Ensure that participants of the network adapters are connected to the ports configured on the same physical switch.
    • Allowing each route based on the IP hash without 802.3ad aggregation or vice versa disrupts networking, so you must make the changes to the virtual switch first. In this way, the service console is not available, but the physical switch management interface is, so you can activate the aggregation on the affected ports to restore network.
    • For more information on ESX networking concepts, see the VMware Virtual Networking Concepts.
    • For more information on configuring a VLAN for NIC teaming, see Configuration of VLAN Virtual Switch, switch physical and virtual machines (1003806).
    • To set up the consolidation of NETWORK cards on ESX and a physical switch, see example configuration of EtherChannel / link aggregation with ESX/ESXi and Cisco/HP switches (1004048).
    • The only option for switch vSwitch or vDistributed that can be used with balancing EtherChannel is HASH IP.
    • Do not use tag with IP HASH load balancing.
    • Do not uplinks configure standby or not well obliterated with IP HASH load balancing.
    • VMware takes support only a single Etherchannel by vSwitch or distributed vNetwork (vDS).

    In my case with no vMotion and just management and 3 VLAN all about 1 vSwitch I should put them all to active?

    Yes, they should all be active, there is really no need passive adapters (that I'm aware of your configuration).

    On your physical switches, you don't need to do anything more than what allows a VLAN correct, i.e.: should all etherchannel or a similar montage. Side vSwitch, you must use the default 'Port ID' nic teaming strategy.

  • What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4

    What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4. I heard some do not work and the automatic switch has problems because Apple tv is still using power?

    I installed on a cutting and not because the automatic switch works because it isn't always. It came with a remote control that is almost as good, so don't mind the fact that automatic switching does not work well. The reason why I chose cutting is because it was the first device that gave me the good picture and sound quality with my AppleTV, the Xbox 360 and the PS4. (Don't ask!)

    I had to reinstall windows 7 pro OS as my laptop I was not able to start.  I did not use recovery CD.  I used windows 7 pro install CD and with a product key valid, now everything works except for LAN wireless.

    Thank you!

    When I click the wifi icon in the menu bar, the status change constantly "Wifi On" to "Looking for Networks.

    The AXE is not ' Looking for Networks "... your Mac is" Looking for Networks.

    This message is normal and expected and should appear and be updated on every 3 seconds or more. It's happened since that you lit on your Mac first.

    The Internet might be slower... but 'search network' would not have something to do with it.

    What Internet connection speed is your package from your provider?

    How fast can you measure if your connect your Mac directly to the modem using an Ethernet cable connection?
