However, the use of broadcast and multicast storm control is encouraged on switches.

Enable Jumbo Frames
Enable Jumbo Frames on each switch and each NIC that handles iSCSI traffic.
PS series arrays support Jumbo Frames, which is enabled by default (MTU 9000). Enable Jumbo Frames on
each switch and iSCSI initiator (NIC) to take advantage of this feature. For further information, refer to the
associated documentation for your switch and NIC.

Management Network
Optionally, Ethernet 1 on the PS-M4110 array can be set up for a management port and be accessed through
the CMC to keep management traffic separate from iSCSI traffic.
You can do this by using the Dell Chassis Management Console command line interface (CLI), or the Equal-
Logic Group Manager GUI or CLI. See Setting up a Dedicated Management Port on page
