Storage Network Design

A customer is deploying a SAN based on Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches. Each Inter-Switch Link must carry multiple VSANs at the same time. The access switch must share the same domain ID as the director switch to reduce the number of domain IDs needed in the fabric. Create a topology that meets these requirements. Not all port types are used, and port types can be used more than once.

Explanation

NPV lets an access switch connect through a core/director without using a separate fabric domain ID. A trunked NPIV-core-to-NPV connection operates as TF on the core side and TNP on the NPV side, carrying tagged traffic for multiple VSANs. A TF port also pairs with a TN port on a host for a trunked, multi-VSAN host connection. TE ports are instead used for trunked E-to-E switch links.
