iSNS Server

The V-Switch supports Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) protocol for advertising its targets and portals on the iSNS server to enable iSCSI initiators in the IP-SAN to locate the V-Switch targets automatically.

Adding an iSNS Server

Use the CLI command ip isns add to add an iSCSI server to the V- Switch’s iSNS client. Targets defined by the V-Switch’s Access Control List (ACL) as having controlled access are accessible only to those servers defined as having access to the target

User Profiles

Access to the V-Switch is password protected. The V-Switch ships with the default user name sanrad and the default user password sanrad. After logging in, a total of ten user profiles (name plus password) can be configured on a V-Switch. As needed, profiles can be modified or removed.

The user name can have from one to twenty characters. The user password can have from six to twelve characters. Both fields are case sensitive and accept all characters, including spaces.
