iSCSI Initiator Parameters
iSCSI Initiator Parameters menu is applicable to ConnectX®-3/ConnectX®-3 Pro adapter cards only.
In the following menu, you can set the following options:
Location: | System setup/Port main configurations/iSCSI Configuration/iSCSI Initiator Parameters |
Description: | The iSCSI initiator Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) ID |

Effects: | If the Connect and the CHAP Mutual Authentication are enabled – This will be the reverse password used for the iSCSI initiator Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol. |
Value restrictions: | String length should be 0 or 12 to 16 |
Location: | System setup/Port main configurations/iSCSI Configuration/iSCSI Initiator Parameters |
Description: | iSCSI initiator's IPv4 address |
Configurable: | Yes – via input |
Persistency: | Persistent through AC cycle |
Effects: | If the legacy boot protocol is iSCSI or iSCSI without fail-over, this will be set as the IP address of the initiator. |
Value restrictions: | Should be in IPv4 format |
Location: | System setup/Port main configurations/iSCSI Configuration/iSCSI Initiator Parameters |
Description: | The iSCSI initiator Primary DNS IP Address. |
Configurable: | Yes – via input |
Persistency: | Persistent through AC cycle |
Effects: | If the legacy boot protocol is iSCSI or iSCSI without fail-over, this will be set as the DNS for the IP address of the initiator. |
Value restrictions: | Should be in IPv4 format |
Location: | System setup/Port main configurations/iSCSI Configuration/iSCSI Initiator Parameters |
Description: | The iSCSI initiator default Gateway IP address. |
Configurable: | Yes – via input |
Persistency: | Persistent through AC cycle |
Effects: | If the legacy boot protocol is iSCSI or iSCSI without fail-over, this will be set as the default gateway IP address of the initiator. |
Value restrictions: | Should be in IPv4 format |
Location: | System setup/Port main configurations/iSCSI Configuration/iSCSI Initiator Parameters |
Description: | iSCSI initiator's default gateway IPv6 address |
Configurable: | Yes |
Persistency: | Persistent through AC cycle |
Effects: | If the legacy boot protocol is iSCSI or iSCSI without fail-over, and IPv4/IPv6 support is selected as IPv6, this will be set as the default gateway for the IPv6 address of the initiator. |
Value restrictions: | Should be in IPv6 format |
Location: | System setup/Port main configurations/iSCSI Configuration/iSCSI Initiator Parameters |
Description: | iSCSI initiator's IPv6 address |
Configurable: | Yes |
Persistency: | Persistent through AC cycle |
Effects: | If the legacy boot protocol is iSCSI or iSCSI without fail-over, and IPv4/IPv6 support is selected as IPv6, this will be set as the IP Address of the initiator. |
Value restrictions: | Should be in IPv6 format |
Location: | System setup/Port main configurations/iSCSI Configuration/iSCSI Initiator Parameters |
Description: | iSCSI initiator's DNS IPv6 address |
Configurable: | Yes |
Persistency: | Persistent through AC cycle |
Effects: | If the legacy boot protocol is iSCSI or iSCSI without fail-over, and IPv4/IPv6 support is selected as IPv6, this will be set as the DNS for the IPv6 address of the initiator. |
Value restrictions: | Should be in IPv6 format |
Location: | System setup/Port main configurations/iSCSI Configuration/iSCSI Initiator Parameters |
Description: | iSCSI initiator's prefix length of the IPv6 address |
Configurable: | Yes |
Persistency: | Persistent through AC cycle |
Effects: | f the legacy boot protocol is iSCSI or iSCSI without fail-over and IPv4/IPv6 support is selected as IPv6, this will be set as the prefix length for the IPv6 address of the initiator. |
Value restrictions: | Should be in integer between 0-128 |
Location: | System setup/Port main configurations/iSCSI Configuration/iSCSI Initiator Parameters |
Description: | The initiator's iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN). |
Configurable: | Yes – via input |
Persistency: | Persistent through AC cycle |
Effects: | If the legacy boot protocol is iSCSI or iSCSI without fail-over, this will be set as the iSCSI Qualified Name of the initiator. |
Value restrictions: | Maximum string length is 223 |
Location: | System setup/Port main configurations/iSCSI Configuration/iSCSI Initiator Parameters |
Description: | The iSCSI initiator Subnet Mask for an IPv4 initiator configuration. |
Configurable: | Yes – via input |
Persistency: | Persistent through AC cycle |
Effects: | If the legacy boot protocol is iSCSI or iSCSI without fail-over, this will be set as the subnet mask for the IP address of the initiator. |
Value restrictions: | Should be in IPv4 format |
