Configuring iSCSI Optimization

NOTE:
This feature is not available on N2000 switches.
This chapter describes how to configure Internet Small Computer System
Interface (iSCSI) optimization, which enables special quality of service
(QoS) treatment for iSCSI traffic.

• iSCSI Optimization Configuration Examples
iSCSI Optimization Overview
iSCSI optimization provides a means of monitoring iSCSI sessions and iSCSI
traffic on the switch. This is accomplished by monitoring, or "snooping,"
traffic to detect packets used by iSCSI stations to establish iSCSI sessions
and connections. Data from these exchanges may optionally be used to create
classification rules to assign traffic between the stations to a configured traffic
class. The traffic classification affects how the packets in the flow are queued
and scheduled for egress on the destination port.
