Designing The Core and Aggregation Layers

Data Center Design Architectural Overview

Data Center arkitekturen er baseret på en tre lags model.

• Core laget består af høj-hastigheds OSI lag 3.
• Aggregation laget forbinder Access-Laget med enten OSI lag 2 eller OSI lag 3.
• Access Laget giver fysisk forbindelse til Serverne.

• Hvis det er nødvendigt at samme VLAN skal være på flere Access Switche samtidig kan Aggregation-Switchene-----

Establisheing Inbound Path Prefenrece

Route Health Injection(RHI) tillader at en Cisco CSM/ACE i en 6500 switch installerer en hoste route til den virtuelle server. /32 routen fjerner problemer med asymmetriske routing.

Access Lag

Lag 2 - Looped design

I Lag to Looped Design er VLAN's termineret i Aggregation laget og Lag 2 services som NIC teaming, Clustering og Statefull Services som for eksempel Firewall, Server Load Balancing, SSL kan udføres på ISO lag 2. Lag tre Routning foregår på Aggregations laget.

Lag 2 - Loop frit design

I Lag to Loop frit design er der ikke VLAN på Aggregationslaget modsat Looped design (Se overnfor). Ved omvendt U er det dog muligt at have VLAN på Aggregationslaget. Lag to services er supporteret. Lag tre Routning foregår på Aggregations laget.

Designing the Access Layer

VRFs in the datacenter

Layer 2 looped

VLANs are extended into the aggregation layer. Layer 2 services such as NIC teaming, clustering, and stateful services from the aggregation layer such as a firewall, SLB, and SSL can be provided across Layer 2 models. Layer 3 routing is first performed in the aggregation layer.

Layer 2 Looped designs

The Layer 2 looped triangle in Figure 5-14 has the following features:

• Supports VLAN extension/Layer 2 adjacency across the access layer.
• Resiliency is achieved with dual-homing and RSTP.
• Quick convergence with RSTP.
• Supports stateful services at the aggregation layer.
• Proven and widely used.

The Layer 2 looped square in Figure 5-14 has the following features:

• Supports VLAN extension/Layer 2 adjacency across the access layer.
• Resiliency is achieved with dual homing and STP.
• Quick convergence with 802.1w and 802.1s.
• Supports stateful services at the aggregation layer.
• Supports more access layer switches, optimizing 10 Gigabit Ethernet aggregation layer density.
• Active/active uplinks align well to active/active service module designs.

Layer 2 loop free

VLANs are not extended into the aggregation layer. Layer 2 services are supported. Layer 3 routing is first performed in the aggregation layer.

Loop-Free

The following are characteristics of loop-free U access:

• VLANs are contained in switch pairs (no extension outside of switch pairs).
• No STP blocking; all uplinks are active.
• Layer 2 service modules black-hole traffic on uplink failure.

The following are characteristics of loop-free inverted U access:

• Supports VLAN extension.
• No STP blocking; all uplinks are active.
• Access switch uplink failure black-holes single attached servers.
• ISL scaling considerations.
• Supports all service module implementations.

Loop-Free U Design and Layer 2 Service Modules

Layer 3

Stateful services requiring Layer 2 connectivity cannot be provisioned from the aggregation layer. Layer 3 routing is first performed in the access layer.
