This IBM® Redbooks® Product Guide describes the IBM System Networking RackSwitch™ G8332 switch (RackSwitch G8332). The RackSwitch G8332 provides low latency, lossless performance, and a feature-rich design with key virtualization features, such as Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE)/Data
Center Bridging (DCB)1, high availability, and enterprise class Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions. In addition,
the RackSwitch G8332 also delivers excellent cost savings as you consider acquisition costs, energy costs, operational expenses, and ease of use and management for a 40 Gbps class switch. The RackSwitch G8332 has 32 QSFP+ ports and is suitable for clients using 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity (or both).
The RackSwitch G8332 enables customers to easily build an end-to-end flat 2-tier network that is based on industry standards using IBM switches and servers. For example, the RackSwitch G8332 is an ideal tier two switch to use when connecting a number of IBM switches, such as IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8264, IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8264T, or IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8264CS, or embedded Ethernet offerings for Flex Systems (SI4093, EN4093/R, or CN4093) with a 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports at the access layer. Other clients like the RackSwitch G8332 for the investment protection. These clients can use it with their 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments today, but can also use it in the future as they move to 40 Gigabit Ethernet.
With latency below 600 nanoseconds, the RackSwitch G8332 is among industry leaders. This fact and the 2.56 Tbps throughput makes the RackSwitch G8332 an ideal offering for latency-sensitive applications, such as high-performance computing, financial applications, hosting environments, and cloud designs in Enterprise, Web 2.0, and VM Centric data centers. In addition, IBM supports IBM VMready® with Virtual Vision, which enables the network to be virtual machine (VM) aware, and provides the capability to have a virtualization environment that is simpler and less expensive with exceptional performance. Figure 1 shows the RackSwitch G8332.

Benefits
The RackSwitch G8332 offers the following benefits:
High performance: This 40 Gigabit Ethernet low latency switch with 2.56 of Tbps throughput provides
the best combination of low latency, non-blocking switching, and ease of management. The RackSwitch G8332 is also a single ASIC design, which promises consistent lower port-to-port latency.
Lower power and better cooling : The RackSwitch G8332 uses as little as 270 W of power, which is a
fraction of the power consumption of previous 40 Gigabit Ethernet offerings. The front-to-rear or rear-to-front cooling design reduces data center air conditioning costs by having airflow match the servers in the rack. In addition, variable speed fans help automatically reducing power consumption.
High availability: The RackSwitch G8332 also comes standard with hot-swap redundant power
supplies and fans, making the switch highly reliable and easy to service in the unlikely event of a failure.
VM-Aware networking: VMready software on the switch simplifies configuration and improves
security in virtualized environments. VMready automatically detects virtual machine movement between physical servers and instantly reconfigures each VM’s network policies across VLANs to keep the network running without interrupting traffic or impacting performance. VMready works with all leading VM providers, such as VMware, Citrix, Xen, Microsoft Hyper V, Red Hat KVM, and IBM PowerVM®.
Layer 3 function: The switch includes Layer 3 function, which provides security and performance
benefits, as inter-VLAN traffic stays within the switch. This switch also provides the full range of Layer 3 protocols from static routes for technologies, such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for enterprise customers.
Seamless interoperability : IBM switches interoperate seamlessly with other vendors' upstream
switches.
Fault tolerance: IBM switches learn alternative routes automatically and perform faster convergence
in the unlikely case of a link, switch, or power failure. The RackSwitch G8332 uses technologies such as L2 trunk failover, advanced VLAN-based failover, VRRP, and HotLink™.
OpenFlow enabled: The RackSwitch G8332 offers the benefits of OpenFlow. OpenFlow is the new
open application programming interface (API) that enables the network administrator to easily configure and manage virtual networks that control traffic on a “per-flow” basis. It creates multiple independent virtual networks and related policies without dealing with the complexities of the underlying physical network and protocols.
IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8332 3
Multicast: Multicast supports IGMP Snooping v1, v2, and v3 with 3K IGMP groups, and Protocol
Independent Multicast, such as PIM Sparse Mode or PIM Dense Mode.
Management: Network Address Translation (NAT) allows a single device, such as a router, to act as
an agent between the Internet (or "public network") and a local (or "private") network. This means that only a single, unique IP address is required to represent an entire group of local IP addresses, to the external network. In addition to reducing the number of public IP addresses that are required, NAT also provides security by acting as a firewall between internal and external networks.
Standards: The RackSwitch G8332 supports the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol standard, which
helps improve synchronization of the network while also improving performance, availability, and flexibility.

Popular configurations
This section describes some configurations for the RackSwitch G8332.
40 G aggregation switch for east -west traffic
As more clients seek to flatten their networking to use more of an east-west traffic flow that is required by many of today’s applications and especially virtualized environments, the RackSwitch G8332 is an ideal tier-two switch for connecting multiple access switches or interconnect modules.
One example is when the RackSwitch G8332 is combined with IBM RackSwitch G8264 by using SFP+ or G8264T using 10Gbase-T to the compute nodes, where clients can easily support up to 1536 nodes on 10 Gigabit Ethernet network with as few as a 3:1 oversubscription. Alternatively, clients can also build a smaller network by using the G8264CS while using the Omni Port to connect to their FC/FCoE SAN, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.
Figure 3. Aggregation switch for east-west traffic
Figure 4. 1536 Node 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network (3:1 Oversubscribed)
IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8332 10
Another example is the exceptional flat network implementations that can be built with IBM embedded Ethernet offerings for Flex System (SI4093, EN4093/R, and CN4093), which can be used easily to support up to 15 chassis of only a pair of RackSwitch G8332 switches. Figure 5 shows an example with nine chassis.
Figure 5. Flat network design supporting multiple Flex System Chassis
IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8332 11
Building a POD
To build even larger networks, the RackSwitch G8332 offering allows for the creation of a simple two-tier design that can support up to 2,816 10 GbE server ports with a low oversubscription ratio of 2.1 to 1. Figure 6 shows an example.
Figure 6. POD Design 2816 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports
IBM System Networking RackSwitch G8332 12
Using the RackSwitch G8332 switch as an edge switch for servers using 40 G Ethernet adapters
For environments such as HPC and others where I/O performance is important, 40 Gb starts to increase in popularity. As more 40 Gigabit Ethernet adapters appear and costs fall, plus applications start looking for the next step beyond 10 Gigabit, the RackSwitch G8332 becomes the ideal solution for connecting multiple servers per rack, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Aggregation switch for east-west traffic

With the flexibility of IBM RackSwitch switches, clients can take advantage of the technologies that they require for multiple environments:
For 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, clients can use DAC break-out cables, which convert the QSFP+
ports in to four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and allows connection for distances up to 5 m.
For 40G to 40G connectivity, clients can use the affordable IBM QSFP+ to QSFP+ DAC cables for
distances up to 7 meters. For distances up to 100m, the 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ transceiver can be used with OM3 multimode fiber with MTP connectors. For distances up to 10km, the 40GBASE-LR QSFP+ transceiver can be used with single mode fiber with LC connectors.
