Access Pod: Collection of compute nodes and
network ports behind a pair of access switches
Compute Pod: Collection of compute nodes
behind a single management domain or HA domain
Pod: Repeatable physical, compute and network infrastructure including L2/L3 boundary equipment. The pod is the L2 failure domain – fate-sharing domain
Considerations…
Each pod type is expecting and providing higher scalability
Traditional pod-to-pod connectivity has been through L3
DC efficiency and virtualization demand more flexibility

Network Planes of Operation
Policy Plane The business glue of the network. Rules execution, decision making, Service Manager and all the other components to make a productize service.
Services Plane Overlay “Layer 7” application flow built on the foundation of the other layers. Dependent on the other layers.
Management Plane
The management plane is the logical path of all traffic related to the system management of the platform.
Control Plane It’s the brain of any networking platform and the technical glue of the network. The control plane is where all routing, switching, other protocols and control information are exchanged
Data Plane The data plane receives, processes, and transmits network data between network elements, and represents the bulk of network traffic that passes to and through the gear.

Cisco Virtual Port Channel (vPC)
FLEXIBILITY
Configure all servers for network redundancy in
the same way using standards based LACP
Virtual Port Channel (vPC) - Enables LACP between a device
and two upstream switches
- Supported with all Nexus portfolio
- Can be used for redundant links
towards Linux, Windows or ESX
servers
- More bandwidth to every server

L2 Requires a Tree Branches of trees never interconnect (no loop)
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) typically used to build this tree
Tree topology implies:
Wasted bandwidth → increased oversubscription
Sub-optimal paths
Conservative convergence (timer-based) → failure catastrophic (fails open)

What if I need more than two (2)
aggregation switches ?
How do I scale MAC Addresses
with L2 bridging ?
© 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential BRKDCT-2222 33
MAC Address Scaling & L2 Bridging
MAC addresses encode no location or network hierarchy
Default forwarding behavior in bridged network is flood
MAC filtering database limits scope of flooding
Ultimately, may not scale well as every switch learns every MAC

Simplicity (no planning/configuration
required for either addressing or control
plane)
Single control plane protocol for unicast,
broadcast, and multicast
Easy application development
Subnet provide fault isolation Scalable control planes with inherent provision of multi-pathing and multi-topology HA with fast convergence Additional loop-mitigation mechanism in the data plane (e.g. TTL, RPF check, etc.)
Both Layer 2 and Layer 3 are required for any network design
Cisco has solutions for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 to satisfy
Customers’ requirements Layer 2?
Layer 3?
© 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential BRKDCT-2222 36
The Next Era of Layer 2 Network What Can Be Improved?
Network Address Scheme: Flat Hierarchical
Additional header is required to allow L2 “Routing” instead of “Bridging”. “Switch ID” comes to the picture.
Provide additional loop-prevention mechanism like TTL
Address Learning: Data Plane Control Plane
Eliminate the needs to program all MACs on every switches to avoid flooding
Control Plane: Distance-Vector Link-State
Improve scalability, minimize convergence time, and allow multipathing inherently
The ultimate solution needs to take both control
and data plane into consideration this time!!!

Fabric
© 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential BRKDCT-2222 39
What is a Fabric?
Externally, a Fabric looks like a single switch
Internally, a protocol adds Fabric-wide intelligence and ties the elements together. This protocol provides in a plug-and-play fashion:
Optimal, low latency connectivity any to any
High bandwidth, high resiliency
Open management and troubleshooting
Cisco FabricPath provides additional capabilities in term of scalability and L3 integration
FabricPath FabricPath

FabricPath: an Ethernet Fabric
Connect a group of switches using an arbitrary topology
With a simple CLI, aggregate them into a Fabric:
Enabling Network Fabrics
N7K(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
N7K(config-if)# switchport mode fabricpath
An open protocol based on L3 technology provides Fabric-wide intelligence and ties the elements together

Example 1: Classical POD Migration
Q: Why migrate traditional Access/ Aggregation building block to FabricPath?
A:
• No STP – No STP sync, no topology changes, no blocked ports, no risk of loops
• Simple configuration
• Total flexibility in design and cabling
• Enables organic bandwidth growth – Grow where and whenever needed with minimal impact

Example 2: POD Interconnect / VLAN Anywhere
Q: How to interconnect DC PODs in order to have VLANs anywhere?
A:
Provide server/host connection to any edge port in network, regardless of physical location
Physical/rack/distribution pair location of host irrelevant with respect to IP subnet and Layer 2 adjacency with other hosts
Gateway placement options include GLBP, MHSRP and “leaf-attached” gateways, so far.

What is vPATH ?
Intelligence build into Virtual Ethernet Module (VEM) of Cisco Nexus 1000V virtual switch (version 1.4 and above);
vPATH has the following main functions:
1. Intelligent Traffic interception for Virtual Service Nodes (VSN): vWAAS & VSG;
2. Offload the processing of Pass-through traffic (from vWAAS, for instance);
3. ARP based health check;
4. Maintain Flow entry table.
vPATH is Multitenant Aware
Leveraging vPATH can enhance the service performance by moving the processing to hypervisor;

vPATH Interception in Nexus 1000v
VPATH Interception is configured on Server VM’s Port Profile as both directions to redirect to VSN;
Server traffic is intercepted by vPATH interception in VEM and redirected to VSN;
Egress traffic (optimized/bypass) can be forwarded without further VPATH interception (e.g.: vWAAS).

Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)
A Platform for Cloud Ready’s Data Center.
• Run any x86 application: virtualized or non-virtualized
• Integrate with existing networks, storage, and management infrastructure
• Run side by side with legacy infrastructure
• Self integrating: Deploy rapidly & increase productivity

What is “stateless” computing architecture?
Stateless client computing is where every compute node has no inherent state pertaining to the services it may host.
In this respect, a compute node is just an execution engine for any application (CPU, memory, and disk – flash or hard drive).
The core concept of a stateless computing environment is to separate state of a server that is built to host an application, from the hardware it can reside on.
The servers can easily then be deployed, cloned, grown, shrunk, de-activated, archived, re-activated, etc.

Ex.1: UCS Technologies for Elasticity
Complete control of system boot policy separate from the BIOS settings
PXE, FC and SAN boot
iSCSI boot
Virtual media (CDROM, .iso, USB, floppy)
Complete control of how to return a server to the infrastructure when no longer required
Called “Scrub Policy”
Optionally clear BIOS settings
Optionally wipe local disk boot sector and table
Allows for removing the low-level configuration state on server
Easier automation possible
Boot and Server Disassociate Management

Default mode if customer using templating
Create 1 or more profiles from template
Can later create more when needed
Draw 1 or more entries from pools of server unique template data
UUID, MAC, WWN, etc.
When profile is created
Administrator or XML API can then modify configuration of profile
Used functionally as a starting-point
Shows as bound to initial template (record of origin)
Ability to extrapolate a given profile into an initial template for future use
Local disk implies state, Boot from SAN or iSCSI is stateless
Boot and Data images can stay on SAN storage for when needed

Orchestration projects with UCS
Existing tools can easily be extended to support server automation
With Cisco-provided tools like “goUCS”, development of custom automation is extremely easy
3rd party tools are much easier to implement and maintain (BMC, Microsoft, IBM, Cloupia, CA, etc.)
Simpler management landscape: fewer professional services

A few examples…
Easier CMDB integration

Automatic server on/off from CapacityIQ
Automatic repurposing of servers (10-to-5 for VDI, 5-to-10 for HPC)
Automatic hardware outage recovery;
