For Fibre Channel ports

Item	Description
Port Security	Select whether LUN security is Enabled or Disabled.
Port Speed	Select the data transfer speed, in Gbps, for the selected Fibre Channel port. If Auto is selected, the storage system automatically sets the data transfer speed to 2, 4, 8, 10, or 16 Gbps. Caution: If you are using 2-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHF (Fibre Channel adapter) port for VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500, or CHB(FC) (Fibre Channel board) for as 2 Gbps. If you are using 4-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHF or CHB(FC) port as 4 Gbps. If you are using 8-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHF or CHB(FC) port as 8 Gbps. If you are using 16-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHF or CHB(FC) port as 16-Gbps. If you are using a 32-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHB(FC) port to 32 Gbps. If the Auto Negotiation setting is required, the linkup might become improper at server restart. Check a channel lamp, and if it is blinking, remove and re-insert the cable to perform the signal synchronization and linkup. When the transfer speed of the CHF port is set to Auto, the data might not be transferred at the maximum speed depending on the connected device. Confirm the transfer speed appearing in Speed in the Ports list when you start up the storage system, HBA, or switch. When the transfer speed is not the maximum speed, select the maximum speed from the list on the right or remove and reinsert the cable. Only 10 Gbps can be specified for the FCoE port. Auto cannot be specified for the FCoE port.
Address (Loop ID)	Select the address of the selected port. .
Fabric	Select whether a fabric switch is set to ON or OFF. .
Connection Type	Select the topology: FC-AL: Fibre Channel arbitrated loop P-to-P (point-to-point). Caution: Some fabric switches require that you specify point-to-point topology. If you enable a fabric switch, check the documentation for the fabric switch to determine whether your switch requires point-to-point topology.

For iSCSI ports

Item	Description
IPv4 Settings	Information about IPv4. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected. IP Address: IP address of the port. If 2 or more ports are selected, this information cannot be specified. Subnet Mask: Subnet mask of the port. Default Gateway: Default gateway of the port.
IPv6 Mode	Specify this information if IPv6 is used or not used. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected. Enable: IPv6 mode is enabled. If Enable is selected, the IPv6 Settings can be specified. Disable: IPv6 mode is disabled.
Port Security	Specify whether to use LUN security on the port. Enable: Use LUN security on the port. Disable: Do not use LUN security on the port.
Port Speed	Select the data transfer speed for the selected port: 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or Auto.
TCP Port Number	Specify the TCP port number. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected.
Selective ACK	Specify this information if the selective ACK is used or not used. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected. Enable: The selective ACK is enabled. Disable: The selective ACK is disabled.
Delayed ACK	Specify this information if the delayed ACK is used or not used. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected. Enable: The delayed ACK is enabled. Disable: The delayed ACK is disabled.
Maximum Window Size	Select the maximum window size from 64 KB, 128 KB, 256 KB, 512 KB, or 1024 KB. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected.
Ethernet MTU Size	Select Ethernet MTU size from 1500 bytes, 4500 bytes, or 9000 bytes. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected.
Keep Alive Timer	Specify the interval time to perform the keep alive timer option. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected.
VLAN Tagging Mode	Specify this information if the VLAN tagging mode is used or not used. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected. Enable: The VLAN tagging mode is enabled and specify the VLAN ID in the text box. Disable: The VLAN tagging mode is disabled.
iSNS Server	Specify this information if the iSNS server is used or not used. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected. Enable: The iSNS server mode is enabled. And specify the IP Address and TCP Port Number of the following. Disable: The iSNS server mode is disabled.
IP Address	Specify the IP address for IPv4 or IPv6. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected.
TCP Port Number	Specify the TCP port number. If the iSCSI virtual port mode is enabled for the port, this item cannot be selected.
CHAP User Name	Specify the CHAP user name.
Secret	Specify the secret to be used for host authentication.
Re-enter Secret	Specify the secret again for confirmation.

CautionIf you change multiple parameters for the same port separately, change the next parameter after the first task is completed. Otherwise, the latter change overwrites the first one. Therefore, the changes might be different from the ones you expected.
