Topology supported
The Brocade Network Advisor SMI Agent supports the following use cases.
Device
•
A device connected to one of the eight FC ports - The Switch profile is used to model the
Brocade CEE switch and its eight FC ports. For the devices connected to these eight FC ports,
refer to
“Data model”
on page 19 and
“Data model”
on page 46. The FC topology portion in
Figure 27
shows the classes and their associations for this use case.
•
A device directly connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the CEE switch (one or multiple
FCoE login sessions open) with the device port and device node WWN for each session
registered in the NS database.
Figure 27
shows elements in both the FC and Ethernet side. If
the host is registered with a FDMI host name, then the node and node port is hosted on the
platform.
•
A device indirectly connected to the CEE switch (one or multiple FCoE login sessions open) with
the device port and device node WWN for each session registered in the NS database.
Figure 27
shows elements in both the FC and Ethernet side. The elements in orange cannot be
discovered. This means there is no representation of the Ethernet cloud.
Switch
•
Two CEE switches connected by their FC ports.
•
Two CEE switches connected by their Ethernet ports in pure Layer 2 - Both the switches must
be individually managed. The Ethernet portion in
Figure 28
depicts the elements and their
connections. There will be one Brocade_EthernetAdminDomain and one
Brocade_EthernetLogicalNetwork per subnet.
