1. Multi-homed: The two LAN ports are connected to two different
networks. Multi-homed is default.
2. Trunking: Trunking links 2 LAN ports together to be a single link.
Trunking could multiply the bandwidth. They will be aggregated to one
IP. If clicking the blue square button “
” at “No. 1” row, the IP
setting will be set to default value after setting trunking, and vice versa.
For detailed setup steps, please refer to Appendix E: Trunking/LACP
setup instructions.
3. LACP: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) could balance the
bandwidth. IP setting concept is the same as trunking. For detailed
setup steps, please refer to Appendix E: Trunking/LACP setup
instructions.
3.5.3 Node
Select “Node” to view the target name for iscsi initiator. Press “Auth” to enable
CHAP authentication. CHAP is the abbreviation of Challenge Handshake
Authorization Protocol. CHAP is a strong authentication method used with point-
to-point for user login. It’s a type of authentication in which the authentication
server sends the client a key to be used for encrypting the username and
password. CHAP enables the username and password to transmitting in an
encrypted form for protection.
Figure 3.5.3.1
To use CHAP authentication, please follow the procedures.

Caution
Each of gigabit LAN ports must have IP address in different
subnet for backplane solutions, P120C-8 and P120C-16.
