Chapter

Overview

The SilkWorm 2200 Family of switches are low cost, high-performance 16-port, gigabit

Fibre Channel switches used to interconnect storage devices, hosts, and servers in a

Storage Area Network (SAN). The switches offer full non-blocking performance for all

sixteen ports with each port able to deliver 100 MB/s full duplex. Cut-through routing

guarantees a maximum latency of 2 microseconds from switch port to switch port.

All sixteen ports are configured as a removable GBIC slots, providing the flexibility to

configure physical media such as short-wave length optical, long-wave length optical or

copper.

Designed as a 1.5U high device, the switches may be installed in industry standard EIA

racks or in a table-top environment. Overall cost of ownership is reduced through the use

of high reliability components, continuous monitoring of environmental components (fan

status and temperature), and a Single Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) design strategy.

The SilkWorm 2210 Loop Switch

The SilkWorm 2210 Loop Switch is configured as a high-speed interconnect for fiber-

channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL) environments. As an alternative to hub-based solutions,

the SilkWorm 2210 offers a true switching environment that provides enhanced

performance, increased availability through better fault isolation, and investment

protection through migration to full fabric topologies. The SilkWorm 2210 is ideally

suited for low-end SAN environments with hosts and devices that only support FC-AL,

such as NT clusters. By enabling the embedded software with a software license key, the

SilkWorm 2210 can be upgraded to a 2250 using the already deployed hardware.

The SilkWorm 2240 Entry Fabric Switch

The SilkWorm 2240 provides a low-cost fabric alternative for entry-level SAN environ-

ments. It delivers true switch fabric scalable performance in a simple switch topology.

Using the SilkWorm 2240, an entry level SAN can be implemented using a single or dual

switch configuration. Each switch can allow one other fabric switch to be connected to

the SAN in addition to storage devices. This provides an additional expansion step to

extend fabric configurations before moving to the full fabric design.

The SilkWorm 2240 is the dominant configuration for most entry-level SANs. Its

uniqueness allows simple fabric connectivity without the intricacy of a cascaded mesh of

fabric switches. It provides all of the benefits of a switched environment while keeping

the simplicity of the entry-level SAN configuration. As the SAN connectivity

requirements grow, the SilkWorm 2240 can be upgraded to a SilkWorm 2250 by enabling

preloaded software with a software license key.

Overview

The SilkWorm 2250 Full Fabric Switch

The SilkWorm 2250 supports all of the functionality of the SilkWorm 2240 model with the

addition of Full Fabric capability. Full Fabric allows the SilkWorm 2250 to be linked or

cascaded to other SilkWorm fibre channel switches to build a highly scalable SAN fabric

capable of supporting thousands of attached storage devices. The SilkWorm 2250 supports

F, FL, and E port connections and Distributed Name Server (DNS).

Setup and Installation

System Components

Power Supply

The SilkWorm 2200 Family switch is ready to go once the unit is plugged in. When the

power cord is connected to the switch, the switch is powered on. The SilkWorm 2200

Family switch meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge voltage requirements. See Appendix A for

specific information on power requirements for the SilkWorm 2200 Family switch.

Figure 2-1 SilkWorm 2200 Family Switch

Note: The SilkWorm 2200 Family does not have a power switch. When

thepower cord is connected tothe switch, the switch ispowered on.

Fabric Operating System

Included with the switch is the Brocade Fabric Operating System (FOS). The system

provides a large number of commands and libraries to manage real time tasks. See the

BROCADE Fabric Operating System Version 2.0 Manual for details about software

features.

Setup and Installation

GBIC Modules

The switch accommodates up to sixteen GBIC modules. All interfaces have status lights

visible from the front panel giving a quick, visual check of the switch port’s status and

activity.

GBIC modules supported are the short wavelength (SWL) and long wavelength (LWL)

fiber-optics, and Copper (Cu) versions.

If your installation requires installing less than sixteen GBIC modules, the unused port

positions are protected by a metal, spring-loaded door that covers the opening.

SWL Fiber-Optic GBIC Module

The SWL fiber-optic GBIC module, with an SC connector color-coded black, is based on

short-wavelength 850 nm lasers supporting 1.0625 Gbps link speeds. This GBIC module

supports both 50-micron and 62.5-micron, multi-mode fiber optic cables up to 500 meters

in length. Figure2-2 shows a SWL GBIC module.

Figure 2-2 Short-Wavelength Laser (SWL) fiber-optic GBIC module

Note: The SWL GBIC module uses a Class 1 laser, which complies with

the 21 CFR, subpart (J) as of the date of manufacture.

LWL Fiber-Optic GBIC Module

The LWL fiber-optic GBIC module, with SC connector color-coded blue, is based on

long-wavelength 1300nm lasers supporting 1.0625 Gbps link speeds. This GBIC module

supports 9-micron single-mode fiber optic cables up to 10 kilometers. Figure2-3 shows a

LWL GBIC module.
