Configuration: Using iSCSI 93Advanced iSCSI Host Ports SettingsNOTE: Configuring the advanced iSCSI host ports settings is optional.Use the advanced settings for the individual iSCSI host ports to specify theTCP frame size, the virtual LAN, and the network priority.NOTE: Changing any of these settings resets the iSCSI port. I/O is interrupted toany host accessing that port. You can access the I/O automatically after the portrestarts and the host logs in again.Table 7-2. Advanced iSCSI Host Port SettingsSetting DescriptionVirtual LAN (VLAN) A method of creating independent logical networks within aphysical network. Several VLANs can exist within a network.VLAN 1 is the default VLAN.NOTE: For more information on creating and configuring aVLAN with MD Support Manager, in the AMW, click the Supporttab, then click View Online Help.Ethernet Priority 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 to 4—ranges from “loss eligible” traffic to controlled-loadapplications, such as streaming multimedia and business-critical traffic.• 5 and 6—delay-sensitive applications such as interactivevideo and voice.• 7—highest priority reserved for network-critical traffic (donot use with the MD3600i).TCP Listening Port The default Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) listeningport is 3260.Jumbo Frames The maximum transmission units (MTUs). It can be setbetween 1501 and 9000 Bytes per frame. If the Jumbo Framesare disabled, the default MTU is 1500 Bytes per frame.
