2 Physical networking I m a physical switch. You can touch me! 2
3 Physical networking A physical network consists of real hardware devices with embedded logic: Switches Routers Network interface cards Cable [ ] Physical network devices have their own operating environment. Physical network devices are independently manageable via a console port or an ip based management interface. [ ] 3
4 Hypervisor based Virtual Networking Virtual networks are in software realized networks. a consolidation of networking logic. minimizing the need for physical links. centrally supervised. dependent on a central operating environment. Benefits of network virtualization? Decreases the time spent by cabling physical servers. The number of adapters, switchports, wires can be reduced. Platform for low latency in-the-box communication 4

13 Virtual LANs Each VLAN appears as a independent and isolated network. Each VLAN represents a dedicated security domain. VLAN membership is controlled from a central point and is transparent to the client. Broadcast traffic affects only clients within the same VLAN. Physical network topology Logical network topology 13
14 VLAN trunking Link enablement to transfer multiple VLAN traffic through a single port. In outgoing direction each frame must be labelled with its VLAN membership. VLAN trunk VLAN trunks are good for Switch uplinks connecting to Routers connecting to Firewalls connecting to Hypervisors to support Virtual 14 VLAN 1 VLAN 2 VLAN 3

20 Gateway redundancy Typical Redundancy techniques in mission critical applications: Local Area Networks Backup layer 2 paths with Spanning Tree Protocol Wide Area Networks Backup layer 3 paths and dynamic routing algorithms Default Gateways can become single point of failures: Gateway Redundancy Protocols: HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol): proprietary - Cisco NSRP (NetScreen Redundancy Protocol): proprietary - Juniper VRRP (Virtual Redundancy Routing Protocol): Standard GLBP (Gateway Load-Balancing Protocol): Cisco/Standard 20
21 Link Aggregation: EtherChannel More then one link can be grouped to form a Channel Generally used for switch interconnection Sometimes used to connect a switch to a router. a server. a hypervisor. Etherchannel is seen by the switch as a single physical link Benefits More bandwidth available with load sharing Redundancy & Better availability Fast recovery in case of failure Negotiation Negotiation ent0 ent1 ent2 AIX 21

28 How does Quality of Service (QoS) work? 28
29 How does Quality of Service (QoS) work? QoS relies on two concepts: Traffic marking Priority of network traffic is maintained by additional header information at frame or packet level: Layer 2 marking: IEEE 802.1P via Class of Service (CoS) Layer 3 marking: Differentiated Service (ToS, DSCP or DiffServ) Network traffic is marked accordingly to the type of service it needs. Very important traffic should have a high priority value. Less important traffic should have a lower priority value. Best effort traffic can be forwarded without any marking. Traffic queuing Traffic is scheduled with different importance. Importance of traffic depends on priority: CoS value on Layer 2 ToS value on Layer 3 Different queuing methods can be used: FIFO Weighted Fair Weighted round robin Low Latency Shared Ethernet Adapter supports bandwidth adoption in conjunction with IEEE 802.1p. 29
