Setting Description
IP Address
Enter the IP address for the network portal. The IP address must be a unique address
that is different than the management port and on the same subnet as the iSCSI
initiator.
Subnet Mask Enter a subnet mask for the network portal or press the Tab key to automatically accept
the default subnet mask.
Default Gateway If a router is required for the xStack Storage Array to reach the initiator(s), the default
gateway must have the IP address of that router. In a network that requires a router
between the xStack Storage Array and the initiator, enter the router’s IP address. In a
network that uses only direct connection, or a switch between the xStack Storage Array
and the initiator(s), no entry is required.
