Devices that initiate iSCSI sessions usually use well-known TCP ports 3260 or 860 to contact targets. When you enable iSCSI optimization, by default the switch identifies IP packets to or from these ports as iSCSI traffic. You can configure the switch to monitor traffic for additional port numbers or a combination of port number and target IP address, and you can remove the well-known port numbers from monitoring. Information Monitored in iSCSI Traffic Flows iSCSI optimization examines the following data in packets and uses the data to track the session and create the classifier entries that enable QoS treatment: • Initiator's IP Address • Target's IP Address • ISID (Initiator defined session identifier) • Initiator's IQN (iSCSI qualified name) • Target's IQN • Initiator's TCP Port • Target's TCP Port 150 | iSCSI Optimization
