Configuring IP Addresses
Figure 2-7 FC/Ethernet Port Configuration Dialog Box
The Next Hop Gateway IP Address
The iFCP/iSCSI ports interact with the external IP network as if they
were independent IP hosts. Each iFCP/iSCSI port needs a gateway
address of an external router that can forward the storage traffic to
the remote iFCP/iSCSI port. This Next Hop Gateway Address is the
first-hop gateway address. If the IP address of the remote iFCP/iSCSI
port is in a different subnet from the local iFCP/iSCSI port, then you
must configure the Next Hop Gateway Address. If the remote
iFCP/iSCSI port is on the same subnet as the local iFCP/iSCSI port,
then the Next Hop Gateway Address field is not used and does not need
to be configured.
