IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8000
13
Rack-optimized server aggregation logical design (Figure 5); the design goal is to interoperate with an
existing Layer 2/3 switch and deploy G8000s at the Data Center Edge:
Logical configuration: Configure G8000s for Layer 2. Apply VLAN domains (1 and 2) at Core
o
switches.
Full Layer 2/3 feature set: STP, MSTP, RSTP, PVRST+; RIP v1/2, static routes, and OSPF.
o
Security: 802.1X; RADIUS/; Wire Speed ACLs, SSH v1, v2; HTTPS Secure BBI.
o
QoS: Up to eight queues/port, IEEE 802.1p and DiffServ prioritization.
