Table 6-2. iSCSI General Parameters
Option Description
TCP/IP Parameters via DHCP This option is specific to IPv4. Controls whether the iSCSI boot
host software acquires the IP address information using DHCP
(Enabled) or using a static IP configuration (Disabled).
iSCSI Parameters via DHCP Controls whether the iSCSI boot host software acquires its iSCSI
target parameters using DHCP (Enabled) or through a static
configuration (Disabled). The static information is entered on
the iSCSI Initiator Parameters Configuration page.
CHAP Authentication Controls whether the iSCSI boot host software uses CHAP
authentication when connecting to the iSCSI target. If CHAP
Authentication is enabled, configure the CHAP ID and CHAP
Secret on the iSCSI Initiator Parameters Configuration page.
IP Version This option is specific to IPv6. Toggles between IPv4 and
IPv6. All IP settings are lost if you switch from one protocol ver-
sion to another.
CHAP Mutual Authentication Controls whether the iSCSI boot host software acquires its iSCSI
target parameters using DHCP (Enabled) or through a static
configuration (Disabled). The static information is entered on
the iSCSI Initiator Parameters Configuration page.
DHCP Vendor ID Controls how the iSCSI boot host software interprets the
Vendor Class ID field used during DHCP. If the Vendor
Class ID field in the DHCP offer packet matches the value in
the field, the iSCSI boot host software looks into the DHCP
Option 43 fields for the required iSCSI boot extensions. If DHCP
is disabled, this value does not need to be set.
HBA Boot Mode Controls whether SW or Offload is enabled or disabled. For Off-
load, this option is unavailable (grayed out). For information
about SW (non-offload), refer to the Dell BIOS configuration.
