Enabling iSCSI on the C-Series switch

To enable the iSCSI feature, you must explicitly enable iSCSI on all switches connected to the iSCSI
Initiators. By default, this feature is disabled on all C-Series switches.

server. One switch has an IP address of 20.20.20.1 for its GigE port, and the other switch has an IP
address of 20.20.21.1 for its GigE port.
