Network Settings
The Network Settings allows you to enter the network configuration settings for the onboard network
adapters that are detected by the operating system during installation. These settings do not affect the
network settings for the CMC. We recommend that you set different IP addresses for the operating
system and CMC. The network interface column lists each network adapter detected by the UCS-SCU.
Your operating system may have a different name for the interface after you install the operating system.
Note Only one of the active network should be configured, and this network interface will be ESXi
management network.
To configure the network settings, follow these steps:
IQN Name field Allows you to enter the initiator IQN name.

specific IQN Name.

on vendor target configuration.
CHAP Username field Required if the target ACL enables CHAP and
mandates access via CHAP credentials.
