    Study Notes

    Data Center Fundamentals

    • A data center's primary purpose is to provide a secure and efficient environment for storing, processing, and distributing data.

    Storage Security and Access

    • Storage administrators ensure secure access to storage devices by implementing zoning, which restricts initiators' connectivity to targets in a SAN fabric.
    • Secure access to storage devices is also achieved through the use of authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) protocols.

    Protocols and Technologies

    • VRRP stands for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol, which provides redundancy for virtual routers in a network.
    • FCoE (Fiber Channel over Ethernet) is a technique that encapsulates Fibre Channel frames over Ethernet networks, employing a technique called encapsulation.
    • FCoE encapsulates Fibre Channel protocol.
    • iSCSI is a protocol that encapsulates storage requests into a protocol that can be routed over a LAN.
    • Block-based storage protocols include Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) and iSCSI.

    Nexus Switches and FabricPath

    • During the initial setup of a Nexus 7000 switch, virtual device contexts (VDCs) and VLANs are configured.
    • Universal ports on a Nexus switch support multiple protocols, including Fibre Channel, FCoE, and Ethernet.
    • FabricPath is a technology that reduces the cost, power, and cooling requirements in the data center by providing a scalable and flexible network architecture.
    • The primary function of FabricPath is to provide a scalable and flexible network architecture.

    Data Center Model and Service Modules

    • Data center service modules connect at the aggregation layer of the data center model.
    • The purpose of a Data Center service module is to provide a modular and scalable approach to building data center infrastructure.

    Converged and Unified Fabric

    • FCoE and iSCSI are part of a converged fabric.
    • FCoE and Ethernet are part of a unified fabric.

    Redundancy Protocols

    • VRRP is a standards-based First Hop Redundancy Protocol that serves as a Cisco-supported alternative to Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP).
