(Optional) Switch Configuration
This section describes how to configure Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) switches, including configuring VLANs and binding ports. Skip this section if you use direct-attached connections.
Ethernet Switch Configuration
Configuring VLANs
When many hosts are connected by an Ethernet network, a large number of broadcast packets are generated during communication between the hosts. Broadcast packets sent from one host will be received by all the other hosts on the network, consuming considerable bandwidth. Moreover, all hosts on the network can access each other, leaving data vulnerable to security risks.
Dividing hosts on an Ethernet network into multiple logical groups helps save bandwidth and prevent security risks. Each logical group is a VLAN. The following uses Huawei Quidway 2700 Ethernet switch as an example to explain how to configure VLANs.
In the following example, two VLANs (VLAN 1000 and VLAN 2000) are created. VLAN 1000 contains ports GE 1/0/1 to 1/0/16. VLAN 2000 contains ports GE 1/0/20 to 1/0/24.
- Go to the system view.
<Quidway>system-view System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
- Create VLAN 1000 and add ports to it.
[Quidway]VLAN 1000 [Quidway-vlan1000]port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to GigabitEthernet 1/0/16
- Configure an IP address for VLAN 1000.
[Quidway-vlan1000]interface VLAN 1000 [Quidway-Vlan-interface1000]ip address 1.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
- Create VLAN 2000, add ports, and configure an IP address.
[Quidway]VLAN 2000 [Quidway-vlan2000]port GigabitEthernet 1/0/20 to GigabitEthernet 1/0/24 [Quidway-vlan2000]interface VLAN 2000 [Quidway-Vlan-interface2000]ip address 2.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
Binding Ports
When storage systems and hosts are connected point-to-point, existing bandwidth may be insufficient for storage data transmission. Moreover, redundancy in connection cannot be achieved in point-to-point connection. To address these problems, ports are bound (link aggregation) to improve bandwidth and balance loads among multiple links.
Context
- Huawei OceanStor storage systems support the 802.3ad standard protocol.
- After Ethernet ports of the storage system are bound, you must complete necessary settings on the interconnected switches. On Huawei switches, you must set the ports to work in static LACP mode. You can find the configuration method in the product documentation specific to your product model.
- If you use non-Huawei switches, contact technical support of the switch manufacturer for the port configuration method.
Procedure
This section uses switch ports GE 1/0/1 and GE 1/0/2 and the storage system's ports P2 and P3 as an example to explain how to bind ports.
The port binding method differs with the OceanStor system version. For details, refer to the specific storage product documentation.
- Log in to DeviceManager and choose Provisioning > Port.
- Bind ports.
- Select the ports that you want to bind and choose More > Bond Port.
The Bond Port dialog box is displayed.
- Enter a Bond Name, select the target ports, and click OK.
- In the security alert dialog box that is displayed, select I have read and understand the consequences associated with performing this operation and click OK.
After the storage system ports are bound, configure link aggregation on the switch using the following command:
<Quidway>system-view System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z. [Quidway-Switch]interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 [Quidway-Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/19]lacp enable LACP is already enabled on the port! [Quidway-Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/19]quit [Quidway-Switch]interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 [Quidway-Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/20]lacp enable LACP is already enabled on the port! [Quidway-Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/20]quit
After the command is executed, LACP is enabled for ports GE 1/0/1 and GE 1/0/2. Then the ports can be automatically detected and added to an aggregation group.
- Select the ports that you want to bind and choose More > Bond Port.

Configuring a Port and Adding It to the VLAN
To configure a port and add it to the VLAN, perform the following operations:
- Configure the port running mode and add it to the VLAN.
switch (config)# interface ethernet 1/1 switch (config-if)# switchport mode trunk switch (config-if)# spanning-tree port type edge trunk
- Create a VFC and bind it to the physical port.
switch (config)# interface vfc 1 switch (config-if)# bind interface ethernet 1/1 switch (config-if)# no shutdown
- Add the new VFC to the VSAN.
NEXUS(config)# vsan database NEXUS(config-vsan-db)# vsan 2 interface vfc 1
Creating a Zone and Adding a Port to It
To create a zone and add a port to it, perform the following operations:
- Check the WWN of the storage system connected to the switch.
switch# show flogi database -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERFACE VSAN FCID PORT NAME NODE NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vfc1 100 0x2b0002 21:00:00:0e:1e:0a:6b:ab 20:00:00:0e:1e:0a:6b:ab vfc4 100 0x2b0008 21:00:00:c0:dd:13:e2:a1 20:00:00:c0:dd:13:e2:a1 [lzh1] vfc5 100 0x2b0007 20:00:00:07:43:ab:ce:07 10:00:00:07:43:ab:ce:07 vfc6 100 0x2b0009 21:00:00:c0:dd:13:e2:a3 20:00:00:c0:dd:13:e2:a3 [lzh2] Total number of flogi = 4. - On the switch, register a device name for the storage system.
You can use the device name instead of the WWN in later operations such as zone division. In this example, name the device database.
switch(config)# device-alias database switch(config-device-alias-db)# device-alias name test1 pwwn 20:00:00:0e:1e:0a:6b:ab switch(config-device-alias-db)# device-alias name test2 pwwn 10:00:00:07:43:ab:ce:07 switch(config-device-alias-db)# device-alias commit switch(config-device-alias-db)# show device-alias database device-alias name lzh1 pwwn 21:00:00:c0:dd:13:e2:a1 device-alias name lzh2 pwwn 21:00:00:c0:dd:13:e2:a3 device-alias name lzh3 pwwn 20:00:00:07:43:ab:cd:ef device-alias name lzh4 pwwn 20:00:00:07:43:ab:cd:f7 device-alias name test1 pwwn 20:00:00:0e:1e:0a:6b:ab device-alias name test2 pwwn 10:00:00:07:43:ab:ce:07
- Add the device name to the zone.

Creating a Zoneset and Adding the Zone to It
To create a zoneset and add the zone to it, perform the following operations:
- Create a zoneset in the VSAN.

switch (config)# zoneset activate name zoneset_1 vsan 2 zoneset activation initiated. check zone status
Generally, only one zoneset can be activated for an FCoE switch. Therefore, it is advisable to keep all the zones in the same zoneset, preventing impacts on other services.
