150 | iSCSI Optimization<br />

The Aggregator auto-configures as follows:<br />

• Jumbo frame size is set to 12000 for all interfaces on all ports and port-channels, if it is not already<br />

enabled.<br />

• Unicast storm control is disabled on the interface identified by LLDP.<br />

iSCSI Optimization: Operation<br />

When the Aggregator auto-configures with iSCSI enabled, the following actions occur:<br />

• Link-level flow control is globally enabled and PFC is disabled.<br />

• iSCSI session snooping is enabled.<br />

• iSCSI LLDP monitoring starts to automatically detect EqualLogic arrays.<br />

iSCSI optimization requires LLDP to be enabled. LLDP is enabled by default when an Aggregator<br />

auto-configures.<br />

The following message is displayed when you enable iSCSI on a switch and describes the configuration<br />

changes that are automatically performed:<br />

%STKUNIT0-M:CP %IFMGR-5-IFM_ISCSI_ENABLE: iSCSI has been enabled causing flow<br />

control to be enabled on all interfaces. EQL detection and enabling iscsi<br />

profile-compellent on an interface may cause some automatic configurations to<br />

occur like jumbo frames on all ports and no storm control and spanning tree<br />

port-fast on the port of detection.<br />

Default iSCSI Optimization Values<br />

Table 11-1 shows the default values for the iSCSI optimization feature.<br />

Table 11-1. iSCSI Optimization: Default Parameters<br />

Parameter Default Value<br />

iSCSI Optimization global setting Enabled<br />

iSCSI CoS mode (802.1p priority queue<br />

mapping)<br />

Enabled: dot1p priority 4 without remark setting<br />

iSCSI CoS Packet classification iSCSI packets are classified by VLAN instead of by DSCP values.<br />

VLAN priority tag iSCSI flows are assigned by default to dot1p priority 4 without remark<br />

setting.<br />

DSCP None: user-configurable.<br />

Remark Not configured.<br />

iSCSI session aging time 10 minutes<br />

iSCSI optimization target ports iSCSI well-known ports 3260 and 860 are configured as default (with no IP<br />

address or name) but can be removed as any other configured target.
