To maximize available bandwidth to the TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI controller, 1000 Mb/s controllers for I/O paths and 100 Mb/s controllers for out-of-band management paths are highly recommended. Ensure your host server has the latest driver for the network device and is set up according to the iSCSI bridge requirements to ensure proper performance. Review your network device documentation Ethernet Switches Any industry standard 100/1000 managed or unmanaged Ethernet switch should interoperate with the TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI controller.

Ethernet Controllers
Any industry standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet controller which conforms to IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3ac, or 802.3u should
interoperate with the TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI Bridge. To maximize available bandwidth to the TL2000\TL4000
iSCSI controller, 1000 Mb/s controllers for I/O paths and 100 Mb/s controllers for out-of-band management paths
are highly recommended.
Ensure your host server has the latest driver for the network device and is set up according to the iSCSI bridge
requirements to ensure proper performance. Review your network device documentation
Ethernet Switches
Any industry standard 100/1000 managed or unmanaged Ethernet switch should interoperate with the
TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI controller. To maximize available bandwidth to the TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI controller, 1000
Mb/s switches for I/O paths and 100 Mb/s switches for out-of-band management paths are recommended
