• CHAP authentication — Enable or disable the challenge handshake authentication protocol

(CHAP) for the system while discovering an iSCSI target. If you enable this option, you must type

the CHAP ID and CHAP Secret throughout the iSCSI Initiator Parameters Configuration screen.

• CHAP mutual authentication — Enable or disable a two way CHAP authentication between

systems within a network while discovering an iSCSI target.

• Windows Boot HBA Mode — Disable this attribute when the host operating system is configured

for software initiator mode and to enable this for HBA mode. This option is available on

NetXtreme adapters.

• Boot to Target — Enable or disable this attribute. If you enable this option, the iSCSI boot host

software attempts to boot from the iSCSI target.

• DHCP Vendor ID — Specify the DHCP Vendor ID in this field. If the Vendor Class ID field in the

DHCP Offer packet matches the value in this field, the iSCSI boot host software looks for the

required iSCSI boot extensions. You do not need to set this value if the iSCSI via DHCP option is

disabled.
