[7:57:52 AM] Mohit Prasad: Cisco Switch --

SAN switch - FC switch

MDS Switch - multiprotocol Departmental/Director Switch
any switch that starts with 9 - is a FC / SAN switch
9124
9513
9509
9506
9120
9214i -> i means it has both fc + ethernet ports
91, 92 --> departmental series of switches
95 - Director class
For department switches ============================
9124 - > 9 means its a san switch, 1 means it has one blade, 24 means it has 24
ports
For Director class switch
============================
9513 - 9 means san switch, 5 means it's director class, 13 means the No. of line
cards/modules/blades
Now 9513 has max 48 ports in one line card
Each switch has got supervisor module also, dir class switches will have 2
supervisor modules

Always remember - module 7 and 8 are reserved as supervisor modules in 9513

so then how many max ports are there in 9513 = 48 ports * 11 = 528 ports /
Interface
we want to refer interface or port 2 on linecard 1 => fc1/2
[8:56:05 AM] Mohit Prasad: VSANS============

Cisco MDS switches - 1 to 4094

Default vsan is vsan 1 - factory configured

4094 is a isolated vsan
fc2/4, fc4/5 - vsan 10 -> once you delete a vsan ? -- these ports will go to isolated
vsan

so user configurable vsans - (2 - 4093)

[9:50:39 AM] Mohit Prasad: Zoning
========

2 types of zoning ==> Hard zone and soft zone

EMC recommends soft zone, we never do hard zone

hard zone - is a zone which uses FCIDs (Domain id, port No.) for zoning
Soft zone - is a zone tht uses wwpns of the N devices

soft zone --> (wwn_hba zoned to wwn_storage)

Hard zone --> (30,fc2/2 zoned to 30,fc2/5)

copy running-conifg startup-config

steps to create a zone in a vsan -

create a zone by giving some name in the vsan

add members to the zone (wwpn of host hba and wwpn of storage Front end port)
Now add the zone to the active zoneset in the vsan
Activate the zoneset again
Aliases for wwpns
===================
2 aliases Fcalias - is only within a vsan
Device Alias - is global to switch and multiple vsans
no zone name <> vsan 20
zone name abc_zone vsan 20
no member pwwn|fcalias

A 1010

=========
1011 ==> THIS IS B
=========================

Usable cap- [(N-1)/N ]*100 (3/4)*100 = 75%

XOR Operation -- even no. of 1 = 0, odd No. of 1 is 1
