McDATA Eclipse 2640 SAN Router Installation and Service Manual
• Bandwidth available between iFCP peer connections or iSCSI
initiator and iSCSI SAN Router port (the lowest available
bandwidth on the network at its busiest time, factoring in signal
degradation, hops and supplementary activity). Is the pipe
consistent in size across the entire path?
— Correct rate limiting on the iFCP ports will be crucial to the
health and performance of the iFCP interconnection.
— Have the circuit provider test the link to ensure that the full
provisioned amount is available and that the signal strength is
not degraded somewhere on the network.
— Verify the available MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) available
on this network. Sometimes it is necessary to allow for
overhead for each IP packet traversing a virtual private
network (VPN) connection using IPsec.
Use the Element Manager Remot Connections screen to measure the
MTU size.
