The Silicon Valley Cisco Users Group (SVCUG) is a Bay Area Cisco user
group that meets regularly for the purposes of learning Cisco
technologies, growing in networking knowledge, and sharing user
experiences and ideas.
The SVCUG offers three meetings a month. There are two Saturday Labs
and one Monthly Meeting. The Saturday Labs offer the users a place to
meet and use Cisco equipment (provided by us). The Monthly Meeting is
used for technical presentations. Typically a Cisco professional will
deliver a Cisco technology presentation they are subject matter experts
in - but, on occasion, we will have someone outside of Cisco deliver a
networking related presentation.

Topic: SAN Basics 101 (Status: COMPLETED, Followup: As requested, we will take the theory learned and move it to practical application. The next Saturday Lab will focus on applying what we learned)Agenda:
- VERY INFORMAL…no slides…no “formal” presentation…just a “town hall meeting” format about FibreChannel and SAN Basics 101 to help people understand what needs to be done to get their fibrechannel working in a small environment
- Focus will be on FibreChannel, with some mention of iSCSI
- Basic comparison of FibreChannel (a.k.a. Storage Networking) to Ethernet (a.k.a. Data Networking) to help enforce terminology/concepts. Some topics include WWN vs PWWN, VSANs, Buffer Credits, Zones, Zone Sets, LUN Masking, etc…
- Live demo on how to upgrade an MDS switch to the latest code release
- Discuss the basic configuration elements needed to configure an MDS switch
- Via CLI, develop/build a configuration on a live MDS switch
- Time permitting, we may quickly show the very powerful GUI environment
