particular WWNs in the fabric. Lucent’s WWN zoning configuration complies with T-11 standards (SW-2 and
GS-3).
Zoning is a powerful tool for making the most efficient use of storage assets in a SAN. However, it must be
planned carefully to make the best use of the available storage and the network's bandwidth. In addition, the
network design process must incorporate a consideration of how zoning and the high availability strategy will
interact in the fabric. Since zoning can effectively cut off access from one part of the fabric to another, all
zoning configurations must accommodate the failover and recovery paths and components as appropriate.
2.2.4 LAN Considerations
Using its Gigabit Ethernet Network Module, the OptiStar EdgeSwitch can connect to Layer 2/3 IP switches,
servers with a Gigabit Ethernet network interface card (NIC), Gigabit Ethernet concentrator switches, and other
LAN network elements. When combining LAN and SAN applications, the OptiStar EdgeSwitch can be
configured to either transmit all traffic over one shared WAN port, or to segregate Gigabit Ethernet traffic over
one WAN port and FCIP traffic over a second WAN port (using static routing).
Prior to configuring the OptiStar EdgeSwitch for connectivity to the LAN, it is important to understand the type
of IP network, as well as the associated subnets that may already be in use at the site. This applies both to any
Gigabit Ethernet port IP assignments being used in the OptiStar EdgeSwitch to connect to the LAN side of the
network, as well as to the IP address to be assigned to the OptiStar EdgeSwitch 10/100 Ethernet management
port.
2.2.5 Configuration Planning
To assist in planning the IP address and subnet assignments and other parameters for an OptiStar EdgeSwitch
installation, refer to the Basic Configuration Worksheet provided in Appendix A.
2.3 Ordering Information
The OptiStar EdgeSwitch is a modular device that allows customers to easily tailor their OptiStar EdgeSwitch
order to best suit the needs of their network and planned applications. Preparing an OptiStar EdgeSwitch order
consists of five basic steps:
(1) Identify the number of OptiStar EdgeSwitches to be deployed
(2) Select number and type of Network Modules to be installed in each OptiStar EdgeSwitch
(3)
Optional
: Select number and type of GBIC Transceiver Modules for each FCIP Network Module
and/or Gigabit Ethernet Network Module
(4)
Optional
: Select number and type of any spare components desired, including OptiStar EdgeSwitch
base configuration, any Network Module, any GBIC, Power Module and/or Fan Module
(5)
Optional
: Select any fiber and/or copper cables needed to connect OptiStar EdgeSwitch Network
Module ports to SAN, LAN, or WAN network elements
