DHCP Vendor ID
Controls how the iSCSI boot host software interprets the Vendor Class ID field used
during DHCP. If the Vendor Class ID field in the DHCP Offer packet matches the
value in the field, the iSCSI boot host software looks into the DHCP Option 43 fields
for the required iSCSI boot extensions. If DHCP is disabled, this value does not need
to be set.
Link Up Delay Time
Controls how long the iSCSI boot host software waits, in seconds, after an Ethernet
link is established before sending any data over the network. The valid values are 0
to 255. As an example, a user may need to set a value for this option if a network
protocol, such as Spanning Tree, is enabled on the switch interface to the client
system.
Use TCP Timestamp
Controls if the TCP Timestamp option is enabled or disabled.
Target as First HDD
Allows specifying that the iSCSI target drive will appear as the first hard drive in the
system.
LUN Busy Retry Count
Controls the number of connection retries the iSCSI Boot initiator will attempt if the
iSCSI target LUN is busy.
IP Version
This option specific to IPv6. Toggles between the IPv4 or IPv6 protocol. All IP
settings will be lost when switching from one protocol version to another.
Windows HBA Boot Mode
