Configuring the iSCSI bridge

7.7 Multipath Settings
Multipath is a method of sending data to an iSCSI target over multiple network connections. These network
connections can be on the same physical network cable or separate network cables. This increases the
data bandwidth to send data over. A user may have a single iSCSI Session for an iSCSI Target, but within
that session may have multiple connections.
iSCSI uses two main network ports, 3260 and 860. Within the Multipath configuration the user can specify
which ports will be made available, 860, 3260 or both.
By default, the bridge will allow up to 10 iSCSI connections per iSCSI Session. However, some initiators will
only allow 1 iSCSI Connection per iSCSI Session and will reject any login to an iSCSI Target that tries to
negotiate more iSCSI Connections. If this is the case, click the compatibility check box and this will limit the
number of connections to 1.
