The following table describes the nonconfigurable Auto-VoIP status information. Table 70. Auto-VoIP Status Field Auto-VoIP VLAN ID Maximum Number of Voice Channels Supported Number of Voice Channels Detected Description The auto-VoIP VLAN ID. The maximum number of voice channels supported. The number of VoIP channels prioritized successfully. Configure iSCSI Settings The Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) feature helps network administrators track iSCSI traffic between iSCSI initiators and target systems. This is accomplished by monitoring or snooping traffic to detect packets used by iSCSI stations in establishing iSCSI sessions and connections. Data from these exchanges is used to create classification rules that assign the traffic between the stations to a configured traffic class. Packets in the flow are queued and scheduled for egress on the destination port based on these rules. In networks containing iSCSI initiators and targets, iSCSI helps to monitor iSCSI sessions or give iSCSI traffic preferential Quality of Service (QoS) treatment. Dynamically-generated classifier rules are used to direct the iSCSI data traffic to queues that can be given the desired preference characteristics over other data traveling through the switch. This might help to avoid session interruptions during times of congestion that would otherwise cause iSCSI packets to be dropped. However, in systems where a large proportion of traffic is iSCSI, it might also interfere with other network control-plane traffic, such as ARP or LACP. The preferential treatment of iSCSI traffic must be balanced against the needs of other critical data in the network. You can view and manage iSCSI Optimization settings on the device. iSCSI Optimization provides a means of giving traffic between iSCSI initiator and target systems special Quality of Service (QoS) treatment. In addition, if configured, the packets can be updated with IEEE 802.1 or IP-DSCP values. This is done by enabling Remark. Remarking packets with priority data provides special QoS treatment as the packets continue through the network. Configure Switching Information 207 User Manual
