Option
Description

This option is specific to IPv4. Controls whether the iSCSI boot
host software acquires the IP address information using DHCP
(
Enabled
) or use a static IP configuration (
Disabled
).
iSCSI parameters via DHCP
Controls whether the iSCSI boot host software acquires its
iSCSI target parameters using DHCP (
Enabled
) or through a
static configuration (
Disabled
). The static information is
entered on the iSCSI Initiator Parameters Configuration page.
CHAP Authentication
Controls whether the iSCSI boot host software uses CHAP
authentication when connecting to the iSCSI target. If
CHAP
Authentication
is enabled, configure the CHAP ID and
CHAP Secret on the iSCSI Initiator Parameters Configuration
page.
IP Version
This option is specific to IPv6. Toggles between
IPv4
and
IPv6
. All IP settings are lost if you switch from one protocol
version to another.
DHCP Request Timeout
Allows you to specify a maximum wait time in seconds for a
DHCP request, and response to complete.
Target Login Timeout
Allows you to specify a maximum wait time in seconds for the
initiator to complete target login.
DHCP Vendor ID
Controls how the iSCSI boot host software interprets the
Vendor Class ID
field used during DHCP. If the
Vendor
Class ID
field in the DHCP offer packet matches the value in
the field, the iSCSI boot host software looks into the DHCP
Option 43 fields for the required iSCSI boot extensions. If
DHCP is disabled, this value does not need to be set.
