Configuring iSCSI

Cisco MDS 9000 Family IP storage (IPS) services extend the reach of Fibre Channel SANs by using 
open-standard, IP-based technology. The switch allows IP hosts to access Fibre Channel storage using 
the iSCSI protocol. 

</p>
<a name="wp1152979"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> The iSCSI feature is specific to the IPS module and is available in Cisco MDS 9200 Switches or Cisco 
MDS 9500 Directors.<br />
<br />
The Cisco MDS 9216i switch and the 14/2 Multiprotocol Services (MPS-14/2) module also allow you 
to use Fibre Channel, FCIP, and iSCSI features. The MPS-14/2 module is available for use in any switch 
in the Cisco MDS 9200 Series or Cisco MDS 9500 Series.
