For each connection:

• Connection ID

• Initiator IP Address

• Initiator TCP Port

• Target IP Address

• Target TCP Port

4. To close the iSCSI Sessions dialog box, click Cancel.

DCB

You can view Data Center Bridging (DCB) settings from the DCB section of the Switching Layer-2 page.

DCB refers to a set of IEEE Ethernet enhancements that provide data centers with a single, robust,

converged network to support multiple traffic types, including local area network (LAN), server, and

storage traffic.

This section lists the following:

• Status — Displays whether DCB is Enabled or Disabled on the I/O Aggregator device.

• DCBx Configuration Source — Port role when DCBx is enabled: Auto-Upstream, Auto-Downstream,

Configuration Source, or Manual.

You can also view more Data Center Bridging settings.

Viewing Data Center Bridging Settings

You can view additional Data Center Bridging (DCB) settings from the DCB section of the Switching

Layer-2 page.

1. From the navigation menu, click Switching Layer-2.

The Switching Layer-2 page appears.

2. In the DCB section, click View Details.

The DCB dialog box appears. You can choose to view details by protocol by selecting PFC, DCBx, or

ETS from the Filter By menu.

For Priority-based Flow Control (PFC), the following information appears:

• Interface — Interface type with chassis slot and port number.

• Operational Status — Displays the status of DCB on an individual port: Up or Down.

• Application Priority FCoE — Displays the order in which bandwidth (according to displayed

priority) is allocated for FCoE.

• Application Priority iSCSI — Displays the order in which bandwidth (according to displayed

priority) is allocated for iSCSI.

For DCBx, the following information appears:

• Interface — Displays the interface type with chassis slot and port number.

• Operational Status — Displays the operational status (enabled, Port Up or disabled, Port

Shutdown) used to elect a configuration source and internally propagate a DCB configuration.

The DCBx operational status is the combination of PFC and ETS operational status.

• Operating Version — Displays the DCBx version configured on the port: CEE, CIN, or IEEE.
