- 14. 1414 © 2013 IBM Corporation How do I determine the number of connections required? Consider: • Workload Type • Environment • Application requirements: ‒ Bandwidth ‒ Availability ‒ Isolation ‒ External connectivity
- 15. 1515 © 2013 IBM Corporation Bandwidth Requirements • What type of applications/workloads? • What are the bandwidth requirements for each application? • Does your application(s) have dedicated bandwidth requirements? • How many application instances will be deployed? • What is the total bandwidth required for all applications? The numberof bits (per second)travelingthroughthe network at any given pointin time. Top of Rack Switch Data Center Switch Traffic for App #1 and #2 20 Gb 10 Gb Link 1 Gb Link Traffic for App #3 4 Gb More connections allow for greater bandwidth. PureApplication System can provide up to 320 Gbps.
- 16. 1616 © 2013 IBM Corporation AvailabilityRequirements An application’s availability can be affected by: • the application’s design • deployment topology • the underlying network The maximum downtime an application’s users orthe business can tolerate.

- 34. 3434 © 2013 IBM Corporation Networking Concepts – Tagged and Untagged Packets • Untagged is a raw Ethernet frame ‒ Only supporting one VLAN – and that is PVID for the port ‒ Cisco switches will use access mode • Tagged will insert the VLAN ID into the header ‒ Only “tagged” interfaces can act as a trunk and pass multiple VLANs ‒ Cisco switches will use trunk mode • What is a PVID (Port VLAN Identifier) ‒ Untagged packets passing thru a port with PVID defined will be targeted to the VLAN defined by the PVID
