Linux Host Setup

If you are using a Linux host network, the following section provides a framework for preparing your
network for iSCSI.

To set up a Linux host network, you must configure the IP address and netmask of each iSCSI port
connected to the storage array. The specific steps depend on whether you are configuring TCP/IP using
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or configuring TCP/IP using a static IP address.
