iSCSI General Parameters
The iSCSI General Parameters page (see Figure 5-7) lets you set the following:
 TCP/IP Parameters via DHCP: Select Enabled or Disabled. When set to
Enabled, the adapter uses the DHCP to obtain its IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway IP address.
 iSCSI Parameters via DHCP: Select Enabled or Disabled. When set to
Enabled, the initiator acquires its IP address from a DHCP server. The
initiator also acquires all boot parameters for an iSCSI target if the boot
parameters are specified on the DHCP server. This setting requires
advanced users to manually input vendor-specific information on the DHCP
server and in the DHCP Vendor ID field of the iSCSI General Parameters.
 CHAP Authentication: Select Disabled to disable CHAP authentication.
Select Target or Target/Initiator to enable CHAP or bidirectional CHAP and
to configure the CHAP name and CHAP secret.
 CHAP Mutual Authentication: This option indicates if the mutual CHAP is
Enabled or Disabled.
 Boot to Target: Select Enabled or Disabled for boot to target.
 DHCP Vendor ID: This field allows the user to provide the DHCP vendor ID
when iSCSI Parameters via DHCP is enabled. The DHCP vendor ID is the
identification string sent to DHCP server.
