摘要
以太网光纤通道FCoE(Fiber Channel Over Ethernet)实现了数据中心前端计算网络与后端存储网络的无缝融合,降低了数据中心基础设施的单位建设成本、维护成本,支持数据中心异构网络环境与不同的接口类型。存储区域网络SAN(Storage Area Network)中交换机数量受到8比特域ID唯一的限制最多可以有239台。N端口虚拟化技术NPV(N Port Virtualization)极大地克服了SAN网络在规模上受限的问题,能够让更多的服务器或存储设备接入到网络中,扩大网络容量。NPV交换机与传统FCF(Fabric Channel Forward)交换机最大的差别是上下行流量转发机制不同,它采用上行流量从映射端口转发,下行流量查表转发。NPV交换机驱动层路由模块的设计与实现采用敏捷开发模式进行,主要包括端口设置、下发NPV Mapping表项、路由表项、Fips规则下发。实验测试证明该设计实现了NPV交换机对FCoE流量的正常转发,确保了可行性。
Fiber Channel over Ethemet （FCoE） achieves the seamless integration of front-end computing network and back-end storage network. FCoE reduces unit construction costs and maintenance costs for data center infrastructures, supporting heterogeneous network environment and different interface types. The number of switches in a Storage Area Network （SAN） is limited by eight bits ID Domain, with a maximum of 239. N port virtualization （NPV） greatly overcomes the limitation on the scale of the SAN network, hence expanding network capacity. The primary difference allowing more servers or storage devices access to the network, between NPV switch and the traditional FCF switch lies in the traffic forwarding mechanism of the uplink and downlink ; NPV uses the mapping port to forward the uplink traffic, and the route table to forward downlink traffic. NPV switch driver layer route design and implementation adopts the agile software development, such as the setting of the port, NPV Mapping entries, routing table entries, Fips rules. Experimental results show that this design realizes the normal forwarding of NPV switches to FCoE traffic, and ensures the feasibility.
