Enable iSCSI optimization feature

This feature, enabled by default, is activated only when EqualLogic arrays are detected, however, Dell
recommends manually configuring these steps too. This feature, when enabled automatically, performs
the following:

Configures jumbo frames to 9216 on all ports.

Disables unicast storm.

Enables spanning tree portfast on ports connected to EqualLogic arrays.

Configures flow control on all ports.
Note: Spanning tree portfast must be manually configured for host facing ports. Refer to Section 2.8.
console#configure
console(config)#iscsi enable
Enabling iSCSI Optimization will enable Flow Control which may cause all the
interfaces to temporarily go down.

detection of an EqualLogic Array. Dell recommends also manually configuring this step.
