M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Configure Global iSCSI Settings To configure the global iSCSI settings on the switch: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login window opens. 3. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login button. The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in. The System Information page displays. 4. Select Switching > iSCSI > Basic > Global Configuration. 5. In the iSCSI Status field, select Enable or Disable. This globally enables or disables the iSCSI Optimization feature. By default, iSCSI Optimization is disabled. 6. Select the QoS Profile VLAN Priority Tag or DSCP radio button. This specifies the Quality of Service (QoS) profile that is applied to iSCSI flows. By default, iSCSI flows are assigned to the highest VLAN Priority tag (VPT)/DSCP mapped to the highest queue not used for switch management or voice VLAN. Setting the VLAN Priority tag/DSCP sets the QoS profile which determines the egress queue to which the frame is mapped. The switch default setting for egress queues scheduling is Weighted Round Robin (WRR). Complete the QoS setting by configuring the relevant ports to work in other scheduling and queue management modes through the Class of Service settings. Depending on the platform, these choices might include strict priority for the queue used for iSCSI traffic. The downside of strict priority is that, in certain circumstances (under heavy high priority traffic), other lower priority traffic might get starved. In WRR, the queue to which the flow is assigned to can be set to get the required percentage. 7. Configure the global traffic class mapping in Class of Service.
