iSCSI Optimization Configuration Examples

This section contains an example of how to configure iSCSI optimization on
a switch that is between a disk array and servers.

Configuring iSCSI Optimization Between Servers and a Disk Array

Figure 16-6 illustrates a PowerConnect 8024/8024F switch connecting two
servers (iSCSI initiators) to a disk array (iSCSI targets).
An iSCSI application running on the switch has installed priority filters to
ensure that iSCSI traffic that is part of these two sessions receives priority
treatment when forwarded in hardware.
