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.

physical network. Several VLANs can exist within a network.
VLAN 1 is the default VLAN.

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-load
applications, such as streaming multimedia and business-
critical traffic.
• 5 and 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.
Configuration: Using iSCSI
