The iFCP/iSCSI Port IP Address
The “external” iFCP/iSCSI port IP address is used to open and
terminate TCP connections that transport storage data over the
external IP network. Storage traffic received at the iFCP/iSCSI port IP
address can be either delivered to a device directly attached to the
SAN Router or to another SAN Router somewhere in the internal
network.
The iFCP/iSCSI port IP address is configured as the
IP address
in the
iSCSI/iFCP Parameters
section of the

dialog box
