iSCSI & Fibre Channel global settings

You can configure global settings in Global Settings.

Setting

Description

iSCSI Service

  • iSCSI service port: View and modify the port used for connections from iSCSI initiators.

    Tip:

    The default port is 3260.

  • Enable iSNS: SNS enables the automatic discovery and management of iSCSI initiators and targets within a TCP/IP network.

    • iSNS server IP: Specify the IP address of the iSNS server.

Default iSCSI CHAP

CHAP authentication provides security without using NAS usernames or passwords. Configuring default iSCSI CHAP authentication settings allows you to select and apply the same CHAP settings to an iSCSI target during target configuration, instead of manually entering the same settings or unique settings.

  • Default iSCSI CHAP authentication: One-way CHAP forces iSCSI initiators to authenticate when connecting to a target.

  • Default iSCSI mutual CHAP authentication: Mutual CHAP forces both the initiator and target to authenticate each other.

The username and password requirements are the same for one-way and mutual CHAP:

  • Username

    • Length: 1 to 127 characters

    • Valid characters: 0 to 9, a to z, A to Z, colon (:), period (.), hyphen (-)

  • Password

    • Length: 12 to 16 characters

    • Valid characters: 0 to 9, a to z, A to Z

Note:

If you want to modify the default iSCSI CHAP authentication settings later, you must first disconnect all connected targets that are using the default settings.
