D-Link Document - User Manual This figure shows six iSCSI data ports. These data ports are set up with a static IP address. For the other controllers, they can be set up the same way. The options available on this tab iSCSI Bonding Settings: The default mode of each iSCSI data port is for it to be individually connected without any bonding. Trunking and LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) settings can be setup here. At least two iSCSI data ports must be checked for iSCSI bonding. 。 Trunking: Configures multiple iSCSI ports to be grouped together into one in order to increase the connection speed beyond the limit of a single iSCSI port. 。 LACP: The Link Aggregation Control Protocol is part of IEEE specification 802.3ad that allows bonding of several physical ports together to form a single logical channel. LACP allows a network switch to negotiate an automatic bundle by sending LACP packets to the peer. The advantages of LACP are that it increases bandwidth usage and it automatically performs a failover when the link status fails on a port.  ▼  Set VLAN ID: VLAN is a logical grouping mechanism implemented on switch device. VLANs are collections of switching ports that comprise a single broadcast domain. It allows network traffic to flow more efficiently within these logical subgroups. Please consult your network switch user manual for VLAN setting instructions. Most of the work is done at the switch part. All you need to do is to make sure that your iSCSI port's VLAN ID matches that of switch port. If your network environment supports VLAN, you can use this function to change the configurations. Fill in VLAN ID and Priority settings to enable VLAN. Copyright@2014 D-Link System, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 53

D-Link Document – User Manual
This figure shows six iSCSI data ports. These data ports are set up with a static IP address. For the
other controllers, they can be set up the same way.
The options available on this tab:
iSCSI Bonding Settings:
The default mode of each iSCSI data port is for it to be
individually connected without any bonding. Trunking and LACP (Link Aggregation Control
Protocol) settings can be setup here. At least two iSCSI data ports must be checked for iSCSI
bonding.
Trunking:
Configures multiple iSCSI ports to be grouped together into one in order to
increase the connection speed beyond the limit of a single iSCSI port.
LACP:
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol is part of IEEE specification 802.3ad that
allows bonding of several physical ports together to form a single logical channel. LACP
allows a network switch to negotiate an automatic bundle by sending LACP packets to
the peer. The advantages of LACP are that it increases bandwidth usage and it
automatically performs a failover when the link status fails on a port.
Set VLAN ID:
VLAN is a logical grouping mechanism implemented on switch device.
VLANs are collections of switching ports that comprise a single broadcast domain. It allows
network traffic to flow more efficiently within these logical subgroups. Please consult your
network switch user manual for VLAN setting instructions. Most of the work is done at the
switch part. All you need to do is to make sure that your iSCSI port's VLAN ID matches that of
switch port. If your network environment supports VLAN, you can use this function to
change the configurations. Fill in VLAN ID and Priority settings to enable VLAN.
