Advanced iSCSI Host Ports Settings NOTE: Configuring the advanced iSCSI host ports settings is optional. Use the advanced settings for the individual iSCSI host ports to specify the TCP frame size, the virtual LAN, and the network priority. Table 7-2. Advanced iSCSI Host Port Settings Setting Virtual LAN (VLAN) Ethernet Priority TCP Listening Port Jumbo Frames Description A method of creating independent logical networks within a physical network. Several VLANs can exist within a network. VLAN 1 is the default VLAN. NOTE: For more information on creating and configuring a VLAN with MD Support Manager, in the AMW, click the Support tab, then click View Online Help. The network priority can be set from lowest to highest. Although network managers must determine these mappings, the IEEE has made broad recommendations: • 0-lowest priority (default). • 1-4-ranges from "loss eligible" traffic to controlled-load applications, such as streaming multimedia and businesscritical traffic. • 5-6-delay-sensitive applications such as interactive video and voice. • 7-highest priority reserved for network-critical traffic (do not use with the MD3600i). The default Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) listening port is 3260. The maximum transmission units (MTUs). It can be set between 1501 and 9000 bytes per frame. If the Jumbo Frames are disabled, the default MTU is 1500 bytes per frame. NOTE: Changing any of these settings resets the iSCSI port. I/O is interrupted to any host accessing that port. You can access the I/O automatically after the port restarts and the host logs in again. Configuration: Using iSCSI 89
