The Cisco SFS 3012R is designed with enterprise-class redundancy in mind. By combining
dynamic load balancing and port aggregation, The Cisco SFS 3012R minimizes failure points
in switch blades, controllers, gateways, and ports. All removable components are also
hot-swappable, including controllers, gateway modules, power, and cooling.
Configuration and maintenance are simplified with a number of different management tools,
including an Element Manager GUI (Java based), Chassis Manager GUI (Web based), CLI
using serial console, Telnet, or Secure Shell (SSH) protocols, all of which allow for robust
remote monitoring, upgrades, and troubleshooting. The Cisco SFS 3012R is also fully
compatible with applications that support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP),
allowing IT managers to reduce management time and TCO.
Also offered is the ability to fail over to gateway modules located in different 3012R chassis,
thus offering maximum redundancy.
Some key features and benefits of the Ethernet gateway module include:
Virtual I/O for Ethernet
– Allows a group of servers to share a pool of centralized Ethernet I/O resources.
Translates between IP over InfiniBand and IP over Ethernet at the gateway
– Allows an InfiniBand-attached host to seamlessly join an existing IP subnet
Full IPv4 Multicast Support
– Enables multicast-enabled applications across the InfiniBand network
Loop Protection
– Choose from a variety of flexible options to prevent broadcast loops
Jumbo Frame Support
– Support for up to 9k Ethernet frames and wire-speed IP fragmentation
VLAN and Partition Support
– Transparent support for VLANs on the InfiniBand network while maintaining existing
business and security rules
Link Aggregation
– Combines multiple ports to optimize use of aggregate bandwidth, as well as high
availability
– Supports a variety of metrics, including source/ destination IP, source/destination
MAC, and round-robin
