In an iSCSI session, a switch connects CNA servers (iSCSI initiators) to a storage array (iSCSI targets) in a storage area network (SAN) or TCP/IP network. iSCSI optimization running on the switch uses dot1p priority-queue assignments to ensure that iSCSI traffic receives priority treatment. iSCSI configuration notes • When you enable iSCSI optimization, the switch auto-detects and auto-configures for Dell EqualLogic storage arrays directly connected to an interface. iSCSI automatically configures switch parameters after connection to a storage device is verified. You must manually enable an interface to support a storage device that is directly connected to a port, but not automatically detected by iSCSI. • By default, iSCSI monitoring sessions listen on TCP ports 860 and 3260. Enable iSCSI session monitoring and the aging time for iSCSI sessions. • Configure the CoS/DSCP values applied to ingress iSCSI flows - create a class-iscsi class map in POLICY-CLASS-MAP mode. • iSCSI operation requires LLDP to be enabled. The DCBX application TLV carries information about the dot1p priorities to use when sending iSCSI traffic. This informational TLV is packaged in LLDP PDUs.

In an iSCSI session, a switch connects CNA servers (iSCSI initiators) to a storage array (iSCSI targets) in a storage area network (SAN) or

•

When you enable iSCSI optimization, the switch auto-detects and

auto-conﬁgures

for Dell EqualLogic storage arrays directly connected

to an interface. iSCSI automatically

conﬁgures

switch parameters after connection to a storage device is

veriﬁed.

You must manually

enable an interface to support a storage device that is directly connected to a port, but not automatically detected by iSCSI.

•

By default, iSCSI monitoring sessions listen on TCP ports 860 and 3260. Enable iSCSI session monitoring and the aging time for iSCSI

sessions.

•

iSCSI operation requires LLDP to be enabled. The DCBX application TLV carries information about the dot1p priorities to use when

sending iSCSI

traﬃc.

This informational TLV is packaged in LLDP PDUs. You can
