b Save the configuration to a file using the ibcfg.exe program by typing the following command at the command prompt:

IBCFG -get <FILENAME> -dev <MAC address>

NOTE: It is recommended that you include the NIC number in the file name. For example, to name the iSCSI boot configuration file of the NIC enabled for iSCSI boot, use the following command:

IBCFG -get dell1 –dev 00:18:8B:FD:F9:1A

where “00:18:8B:FD:F9:1A” is the MAC address of the iSCSI boot NIC.
