Agenda






Flexible Port Mapping – Starting with IBM Networking OS 7.8

Bay1 – Base license = 24 ports

Bay2 – Base license = 24 ports

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

4-port Node

Bay 1

* Flexible port mapping is not available in Stacking mode

Applies to EN2092, EN4093R, CN4093, SI4093

Reassign ports as needed:

• Each license is a pool of ports

• Assign internal and external 10 GbE ports as needed

• Trade off four 10 GbE ports for the use of an external 40 GbE port


Flex System Interconnect Fabric

What is it?…

�Simple Ethernet Fabric cluster

� Loop free design with no spanning tree

�Scalable multi-chassis, multi-rack interconnect fabric infrastructure

�Server-to-server traffic stays inside the chassis

Importance…

�Rapidly deploy additional chassis or racks – configure the Fabric once

� 95%1 reduction in the nº of network devices required to manage a 9 chassis, 3 rack configuration

� ZERO2 down time for service upgrades

� ZERO3 additional Flex System CAPEX – use existing SI4093 and G8264CS Flex System HW

�Support for Ethernet, iSCSI and FCoE protocols

�Proven interoperability with 3rd party core network like Cisco and Juniper

Simplified Fabric Infrastructure to accelerate deployment with optimum efficiency

1 One G8264CS Switch vs 20 Devices (2 G8264CS’s and 18 SI4093’s) 2 Master switch provides in service upgrades to all 18 devices 3 G8264CS and SI4093 are the only modules enabled for the fabric infrastructure
