Configuring iSCSI Optimization (CLI) This section provides information about the commands you use to configure iSCSI settings on the switch. For more information about the commands, see the PowerConnect 7000 Series CLI Reference Guide. Command Purpose configure Enter Global Configuration mode. iscsi enable Globally enable iSCSI optimization. iscsi target port tcp-port-1 [tcp-port-2...tcp-port-16] [address ip-address] [name targetname] Configure an iSCSI target port and, optionally, address and name. • tcp-port-n-TCP port number or list of TCP port numbers on which the iSCSI target listens to requests. Up to 16 TCP ports can be defined in the system in one command or by using multiple commands. • ip-address-IP address of the iSCSI target. When the no form of this command is used, and the tcp port to be deleted is one bound to a specific IP address, the address field must be present. • targetname-iSCSI name of the iSCSI target. The name can be statically configured; however, it can be obtained from iSNS or from sendTargets response. The initiator must present both its iSCSI Initiator Name and the iSCSI Target Name to which it wishes to connect in the first login request of a new session or connection. iscsi cos {enable | disable | Set the quality of service profile that will be applied to vtp vtp | dscp dscp [remark] iSCSI flows. • enable-Enables application of preferential QoS treatment to iSCSI frames • disable-Disables application of preferential QoS treatment to iSCSI frames. • vpt/dscp-The VLAN Priority Tag or DSCP value to assign received iSCSI session packets. • remark-Mark the iSCSI frames with the configured DSCP value when egressing the switch. 440 Configuring iSCSI Optimization
