Configuration Tasks

To configure iSCSI, Enable or Login authentication and the associated authentication services on the storage router, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Configure the desired authentication services, such as RADIUS, TACACS+ and the local username database.

Step 2 (Optional) Create named groups of RADIUS and TACACS+ servers.

Step 3 Create authentication lists.

Step 4 (Optional) Test authentication using configured authentication services.

Step 5 (Optional) Configure the user name and password for SCSI routing instances that will participate in two-way authentication.

Step 6 Enable authentication for individual SCSI routing instances.

Step 7 Verify and save AAA and iSCSI authentication configuration.

Figure 9-1illustrates AAA configuration elements used for iSCSI authentication and Figure 9-2illustrates the example configuration of iSCSI authentication and the authentication services used in this chapter.
