Description

IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed to help address the needs of data centers and large enterprises where high-density Ethernet switches are needed. IBM Ethernet r-series switches include the four slot IBM Ethernet Switch B04R (4003R04), eight slot IBM Ethernet Switch B08R (4003-R08), sixteen slot IBM Ethernet Switch B16R (4003-R16), and thirty-two slot IBM Ethernet Switch B32R (4003-R32) models. These switches offer high port capacity and density, based on the number of available slots, with up to 512 10-Gigabit Ethernet or 1536 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single 32-slot chassis.

The IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed for nonstop operation, supporting 1:1 management module redundancy, N+1 switch module redundancy, M+N power module redundancy, and N+1 fan redundancy. Each of these hardware components are hot-swappable, reducing service downtime. This hardware resiliency is designed to be enhanced with software resiliency including system failover, restart, MRP, VSRP, and VRRP for Layer 2 and Layer 3 resiliency.

Systems configured with dual management modules have subsection detection and failover. Hitless Management Failover (HMF) ensures that the forwarding engines on the line modules are not impacted by a management failover, and enables nonstop packet forwarding during a management failover. With hitless Layer 2 software upgrades and graceful restart routing, fast convergence occurs in the event of a management module failure.

The IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed to help network planners deploy an Ethernet infrastructure that addresses today's requirements with a scalable architecture designed to support network growth and evolution. The switches incorporate the latest advances in switch architecture, system resilience, quality of service (QoS) and switch security in a family of modular chassis settings.

The switch architecture is an adaptive self-routing Clos switch fabric with a virtual output queue (VOQ) design. This nonblocking architecture is optimized for maximum throughput and low latency for all size packets. This scalable design can help with the reliable delivery of all IP-based voice, video, and data applications.

The switches ship with the Brocade IronWare software, embedded sFlow per port, advanced IPv4/IPv6 Ethernet Layer 2 switching, IPv4/IPv6 L3 routing, and multilayer security services.

The IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed to support industry-leading Layer 2 features. To provide self-healing topologies in Layer 2 configurations, the switches support industry standard Ethernet protocols including Spanning Tree

IBM Europe, Middle East, and Africa Hardware Announcement ZG09-0629

IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation

Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), per VLAN STP (PVST), per VLAN group STP (PVGST), and Multi-instance Spanning Tree (MSTP). The switches can also support Brocade Metro Ring Protocol (MRP) for sub-second service restoration in ring topologies, Virtual Switch Redundancy Protocol (VSRP) for redundant switch configurations, VLAN topology grouping, and VLAN tunneling for advanced Layer 2 service configurations.

The IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed to support Layer 3 feature set for scalable Exterior Gateway and Interior Gateway Protocols (EGP and IGP). The switches can support a wide array of IPv4 routing protocols including RIPv1/v2, OSPFv2, BGP-4, and IS-IS. To future-proof the network, support for IPv6 routing protocols include RIPng, OSPFv3, and BGP-4+.

A scalable, resilient network can be built using IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation for up to eight links. BPDU Guard and Root Guard support prevent rogue hijacking of the spanning tree root and maintain a contention-free and loop-free environment, especially during dynamic network deployments. Additionally, IP SouceGuard can be configured to prevent IP source address spoofing.

With Brocade Direct Routing (BDR), the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) is downloaded to the hardware-based forwarding engine on each line module. Policy Based Routing (PBR) allows customizable routing policies using ACLs. This feature can be used to balance network usage by controlling the network paths for different traffic flows.

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and VRRPE enable the switches to operate as a backup router to other network routers. In the event of a router failure, the switch can automatically and seamlessly perform the task of the failed router.

The IBM Ethernet r-series switches can help to meet the growing use of streaming video and voice in a converged network by providing hardware-based support for a number of multicast protocols including MSDP, PIM-SM, and PIM-DM. This allows network managers to efficiently deploy next generation multicast applications.

Network administrators can enforce QoS policies based on port, VLAN, source MAC, ACL rules, IEEE 802.1p priority, Type of Service (ToS), DiffServe settings, or Rate Limiting status. The wide variety of methods supported can help administrators to granularly tune traffic according to their needs, such as strict priority for Voice over IP, video, and high-performance computing applications.

Combinations of Strict Priority (SP) and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) can provide flexibility for network administrators. In the event of egress port congestion, traffic policies can be configured for tail drop or weighted random early detection (WRED) operation.

Advanced bandwidth management can allow intelligent bandwidth management using hardware based enforcement of Committed Information Rate (CIR) with Excess Burst control capabilities and seamless integration with other QoS features.

Wire-speed Access Control Lists (ACL) is designed to control packet forwarding and restrict access to the system management interface, while providing wirespeed switching and routing. An extensible ACL implementation for Layer 3 and Layer 4 information identifies traffic based on source or destination IP address, IP protocol type, TCP or UDP port, IP precedence, or ToS values. Flexible Layer 2 implementation identifies traffic based on source or destination MAC address, Ethernet type, VLAN-ID values, and 802.1p values.

High priority voice and data traffic flow through the chassis utilizing the high performance hardware-based QoS features of the switches. Wire-speed security can be maintained by locking out unauthorized users with port security, by filtering DoS and unauthorized traffic with ACLs, and by monitoring traffic flows with sFlow. The switches can allow you to grow from just 24 ports of 10/100/ 1000 at the edge and up to 1,536 ports of 10/100/ 1000 or 512 ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet in the core. A common architecture across the entire series can meet the demands of enterprise network needs while incorporating resiliency, security, and scalability in

an architecture designed to scale from the edge to the core to reduce the cost of ownership.

Limitations

Notice: Government regulations (such as those prescribed by OSHA or European Community Directives) may govern noise level exposure in the workplace and may apply to you and your system installation. The actual sound pressure levels in your installation depend upon a variety of factors, including the number of racks in the installation; the size, materials, and configuration of the room; the noise levels from other equipment; the room ambient temperature, and employees' location in relation to the equipment. Further, compliance with such government regulations also depends upon a variety of additional factors, including the duration of employees' exposure and whether employees wear hearing protection. IBM recommends that you consult with qualified experts in this field to determine whether you are in compliance with the applicable regulations.

Planning information

Customer responsibilities

Planning information, including customer responsibilities, physical planning, and installability is available in the specific product planning manuals on the following Web site

http://www.ibm.com/systems/networking

You are responsible for downloading or obtaining from IBM, and installing designated Machine Code (microcode, basic input/output system code (called "BIOS"), utility programs, device drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM machine) and other software updates in a timely manner from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that IBM provides. You may request IBM to install Machine Code changes; however, you may be charged for that service.

Cable orders

The media installed in the chassis require appropriate cables for connectivity. Cables must be supplied by the customer. 10 Gbps optical XFP, 10 Gbps optical SFP+, or 1 Gbps optical SFP transceivers require single-mode fiber (SMF) or multimode fiber (MMF) terminating in a LC connector. Refer to the media description for proper cable type. 10 Gbps copper XFP transceivers require CX4-grade copper cables. 1 Gbps copper SFP transceivers with RJ-45 ports or RJ-45 ports on interface modules require CAT5e or higher cabling. Mini RJ-21 connectors require MRJ21 to RJ45 breakout cables.

For information on available products, and where to buy MRJ21 cabling and patch panels, contact your IBM representative or visit
