Reference Guide

7. (Optional) Set the QoS policy that is applied to the iSCSI flows.
CONFIGURATION mode
[no] iscsi cos {enable | disable | dot1p vlan-priority-value [remark] | dscp
dscp-value [remark]}
– enable: enables the application of preferential QoS treatment to iSCSI traffic so that iSCSI packets are
scheduled in the switch with a dot1p priority 4 regardless of the VLAN priority tag in the packet. The default
is: iSCSI packets are handled with dotp1 priority 4 without remark.
– disable: disables the application of preferential QoS treatment to iSCSI frames.
– dot1p vlan-priority-value: specifies the virtual local area network (VLAN) priority tag assigned
to incoming packets in an iSCSI session. The range is from 0 to 7. The default is: the dot1p value in ingress
iSCSI frames is not changed and the same priority is used in iSCSI TLV advertisements if you do not enter
the iscsi priority-bits command (Step 10).
– dscp dscp-value: specifies the DSCP value assigned to incoming packets in an iSCSI session. The
range is from 0 to 63. The default is: the DSCP value in ingress packets is not changed.
– remark: marks incoming iSCSI packets with the configured dot1p or DSCP value when they egress the
switch. The default is: the dot1 and DSCP values in egress packets are not changed.
8. (Optional) Set the aging time for iSCSI session monitoring.
CONFIGURATION mode
[no] iscsi aging time time.
The range is from 5 to 43,200 minutes.
The default is 10 minutes.
9. (Optional) Configures DCBX to send iSCSI TLV advertisements.
LLDP CONFIGURATION mode or INTERFACE LLDP CONFIGURATION mode
[no] advertise dcbx-app-tlv iscsi.
You can send iSCSI TLVs either globally or on a specified interface. The interface configuration takes priority over
global configuration.
The default is Enabled.
10. (Optional) Configures the advertised priority bitmap in iSCSI application TLVs.
LLDP CONFIGURATION mode
[no] iscsi priority-bits.
The default is 4 (0x10 in the bitmap).
11. (Optional) Configures the auto-detection of Compellent arrays on a port.
INTERFACE mode
[no] iscsi profile-compellent.
The default is: Compellent disk arrays are not detected.
Displaying iSCSI Optimization Information
To display information on iSCSI optimization, use the following show commands.
• Display the currently configured iSCSI settings.
show iscsi
• Display information on active iSCSI sessions on the switch.
show iscsi sessions
• Display detailed information on active iSCSI sessions on the switch . To display detailed information on specified
iSCSI session, enter the session’s iSCSI ID.
show iscsi sessions detailed [session isid]
