Parameter targetname Description 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. The target name can consist of any printable character except for an exclamation point or a double quote as the first character. A question mark may not appear anywhere in the target name. The name can contain embedded blanks if enclosed in double quotes. Default Configuration iSCSI well-known ports 3260 and 860 are configured by default but can be removed as any other configured target. Command Mode Global Configuration mode. User Guidelines • When working with private iSCSI ports (not IANA assigned iSCSI ports 3260/860), it is recommended to specify the target IP address as well, so the switch will only snoop frames with which the TCP destination port is one of the configured TCP ports, AND their destination IP is the target's IP address. This way the CPU is not be falsely loaded by non-iSCSI flows (if by chance other applications also choose to use these {non-standard} ports). • When a port is already defined and not bound to an IP address, and you want to bind the port to an IP address, first remove the port by using the no form of the command and then add it again, this time together with the relevant IP address. • Target names are only for display when using the show iscsi command. These names are not used to match (or for doing any sanity check) with the iSCSI session information acquired by snooping. • A maximum of 16 TCP ports can be configured either bound to IP or not. iSCSI Optimization Commands 553
