Dell PowerConnect 5424 Command Line Interface Manual page 236

Syntax
• iscsi target port tcp-port-1 [tcp-port-2.... tcp-port-8] [address ip-address] [name targetname]
• no iscsi target port tcp-port-1 [tcp-port-2.... tcp-port-8] [address ip-address]
• tcp-port — TCP port number or list of TCP port numbers on which iSCSI target/s listen to
requests. Up to 16 TCP ports can be defined in the system in one command or by using multiple
commands.
• ip-address — IP address of the iSCSI target. When the no form is used, and the tcp port to be
deleted is one bound to a specific IP address, the address field must be present.
• targetname — iSCSI name of the iSCSI target. The name can be statically configured; however, it
can be obtained from iSCSI or from sendTargets response. The initiator MUST present both its
iSCSI Initiator Name and the iSCSI Target Name to which it wishes to connect in the first login
request of a new session or connection.
Default Configuration
iSCSI well-known ports 3260 and 860 are configured as default but can be removed as any other
configured target.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode.
User Guidelines
• When working with private iSCSI ports (not IANA assigned iSCSI ports 3260/860), it is recommended
to specify the target IP address as well, so the switch will only snoop frames with which the TCP
destination port is one of the configured TCP ports, AND their destination IP is the target's IP address.
This way the CPU is not be falsely loaded by non-iSCSI flows (if by chance other applications also
choose to use these {un-reserved} ports).
• When a port is already defined and not bound to an IP, and the user binds it to an IP, the User should
first remove it by using the no form of the command and then add it again, this time together with the
relevant IP.
• Target names are only for display when using show iscsi command. These names are not used to match
(or for doing any sanity check) with the iSCSI session information acquired by snooping.
• Maximum of 16 TCP ports can be configured either bound to IP or not. This number can be changed
by using iscsi max target ports command; however it will take affect only after reset.
Example
The following example configures TCP Port49154 to target IP address 172.16.1.20.
Console (config)# iscsi target port 49154 address 172.16.1.20
