3.2 iSCSI Configuration
You may fine-tune the iPBridge using the ATTO ExpressNAV interface.
Several special iPBridge features may be accessed
using the ExpressNAV graphical user interface. For
details on each command, refer to
CLI provides an
ASCII-based interface on page iii of the Appendix.
1 If you are not already in the ExpressNAV
interface, type the IP address of your iPBridge
in a standard browser as found in
Using
ExpressNAV on page 25, click Enter Here,
type in your user name and password, and click
OK.
2 The Status page appears. Click on the menu
item which regulates the parameter you wish to
change.
• Ethernet : iSCSI port number
• iSCSI iSCSI Alias, ISNS Login Control,
iSNSServer, Speedwrite
• CHAP commands : iSCSI Chap Secret, iSCSI
Target in the Manual Target Mgt menu
3 Click Submit on each page after you make
changes to save your choices. When you have
completed all changes, go to the Restart page
and click on Restart.
Ethernet
Click on the Ethernet menu item.
iSCSI Port Number
Specifies the port number whereby the iPBridge listens
for iSCSI connections. The port number must be between
1024 and 65535 except for port 860. The default is 3260.
iSCSI
Click on the iSCSI menu item.
iSCSI Alias
Provides a human-readable name assigned to the
iPBridge. Aliases may be 1 to 64 characters long and may
contain spaces if spaces are enclosed in quotation
marks. The default is a blank space.
iSNS Login Control
Specifies whether the iPBridge will delegate its access
control/authorization to an iSNS server. Default is
disabled.
Note
iSNS Login Control cannot be used with
Access Control found on the iSCSI Target
Management page.
iSNSServer
Specifies whether the IP address of a valid iSNS server
from which the iPBridge will attempt iSCSI initiator
discovery. Setting to 0.0.0.0 disables the iSNS server
lookup. Default is 0.0.0.0.
SpeedWrite
When enabled, improves the performance of WRITE
commands to SCSI devices attached to the iPBridge.
CHAP commands
To find the CHAP commands,
1
Click on the Manual Target Mgt menu item.
2 Click on the Target Management page.
3 Click on the iSCSI CHAP table entry next to the
iSCSI target you wish to use.
iSCSI CHAP
iSCSI CHAP controls whether CHAP (Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol) is used for the iSCSI
protocol.
If CHAP is enabled, the target requires the
initiator to negotiate CHAP authentication using CHAP
secrets (passwords). An initiator may reject this
negotiation.
iSCSI Chap Secret
Specifies the incoming and outgoing secrets (passwords)
for iSCSI CHAP sessions. Secrets are case sensitive, 12
to 32 characters (16 for Microsoft iSCSI initiator), and
cannot contain spaces. In and out secrets must be
different.
An in secret is for authentication of the server to the
iPBridge. The iPBridge can store up to 32 in secrets.
An out secret is for authentication of the iPBridge to the
server. There is only one out secret per target that cannot
be deleted.
iSCSI Target
Creates or deletes an iSCSI target name. The target
name acts as a suffix to the standard bridge iSCSI-
qualified name. The target name may not exceed 24
characters.
