In order to maintain iSCSI performance, the iSCSI network should be physically separated from other types of
networks (such as networks for Internet access and file transfers).
•
Operation Mode
The iSCSI 10Gbit/s operation mode is 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-CR, or 10GBASE-T.
•
CHAP
CHAP authentication can prevent unauthorized access. The following CHAP authentication methods are sup-
ported:
-
Unidirectional CHAP
-
Bidirectional CHAP
•
Tag VLAN
The tag VLAN function is supported. 16 tags (VLAN ID) can be used for each port.
•
Jumbo Frame
Enabling Jumbo Frame makes data transfer more efficient by increasing the amount of data that can be trans-
ferred for each Frame.
Table 44 Ethernet Frame Capacity (Jumbo Frame Settings)
Jumbo Frame settings Ethernet frame capacity
Enabled Up to 9000 bytes
Disabled Up to 1500 bytes
Server-side CPU load can be reduced by using Jumbo Frame. However, I/O performance may be reduced by
10% to 30%.
•
Security Architecture for Internet Protocol (IPsec)
The IPsec function is not supported. Connect the server using a LAN switch that has the IPsec function as re-
quired.
•
Internet Protocol
IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
•
Data Center Bridging (DCB)
iSCSI 10Gbit/s interfaces support the Data Center Bridging (DCB) function.
DCB is an enhanced function of traditional Ethernet and a standard for Fabric connections in data centers. The
DCB function allows connections to Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) environments.
