User Guidelines
When working with private iSCSI ports (not IANA assigned iSCSI ports 3260
and 860), it is recommended that the target IP address also be specified, so
that the device snoops only frames for which its TCP destination port is one
of the configured TCP ports and their destination IP is the target's IP address.
In this way, the CPU is not falsely loaded by non-iSCSI flows if other
applications choose to use these un-reserved ports.
It is the user’s responsibility to not define as iSCSI ports any ports that are
well-known or are configured on the product for other uses, such as Telnet,
SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, or DHCP.
To bind a port to an IP address, and the port is already defined but not bound
to an IP address, first remove the port by using the
no
form of the command
and then add it again with the relevant IP address.
Target names are displayed only when using the
show iscsi
command. These
names are not used to match (or to perform any sanity check on) the iSCSI
session information acquired by snooping.
A maximum of 16 TCP ports can be configured either bound to IP or not.
This number can be changed by using the
iscsi max target ports
command.
However, the change takes effect only after reset.
Example
The following example configures an iSCSI target port.
Console(config)#
iscsi target port
30001
address
176.16.1.1
name
iqn.1993-11.com.disk-
vendor:diskarrays.sn.45678.tape:sys1.xyz
iscsi cos
Use the
iscsi cos
Global Configuration mode command to set the quality of
service profile to apply to iSCSI flows. Use the
no
form of this command to
restore the default configuration.
