AuthMethod

Sets the authentication type. Type can be either “None”, or “CHAP”. Default is “None”. When set to CHAP, both chapIName and chapSecret must be defined.

chapIName

Login for CHAP authentication.

chapSecret

Secret for CHAP authentication.

tgtChapName

Target login for Mutual CHAP authentication.

tgtChapSecret

Target secret for Mutual CHAP authentication.

HeaderDigest

Sets the header digest; a checksum calculated over the header of iSCSI PDUs, and verified on receive. Digest can be either “None”, or “CRC32C”. Default is “None”.

DataDigest

Sets the data digest; a checksum calculated over the Data Section of iSCSI PDUs, and verified on receive. Digest can be either “None”, or “CRC32C”. Default is “None”.

InitiatorName

Sets the initiator name. By default, the name is concatenation of “iqn.1994-09.org.freebsd:” with the hostname.

TargetName

Sets the target name. Not required for discovery sessions.

TargetAddress

Sets the target address and port, in address[:port] format. The address can be either an IP address, or hostname. The optional port defaults to 3260.

SessionType

Sets the session type. Type can be either “Discovery”, or “Normal”. Default is “Normal”. For normal sessions, the TargetName must be defined. Discovery sessions result in the initiator connecting to all the targets returned by SendTargets iSCSI discovery with the defined TargetAddress.

Enable

Enable or disable the session. State can be either “On”, or “Off”. Default is “On”.

Offload

Name of selected iSCSI hardware offload driver. Default is “None”.

Protocol

Name of selected protocol. It can be either “iSER”, for iSCSI over RDMA, or “iSCSI”. Default is “iSCSI”.

dscp

The DiffServ Codepoint used for sending data. The DSCP can be set to numeric, or hexadecimal values directly, as well as the well-defined “cs<n>” and “af<xx>” codepoints. Default is no specified dscp codepoint, which means the default of the outgoing interface is used.

pcp

The 802.1Q Priority CodePoint used for sending packets. The PCP can be set to a value in the range between “0” to “7”. When omitted, the default for the outgoing interface is used.
