Auto-Negotiated Speed and Auto-Negotiated Forward Error Correction (FEC) requirements for NetApp E-Series E2800/E5700 25 Gb/10 Gb iSCSI
Applies to
- NetApp E-Series E2800/E5700 and associated EF-series platofrms with 25 Gb/10 Gb iSCSI Host Interface Card (HIC).
- Onboard iSCSI ports are not included.
- 25 Gb/10 Gb iSCSI Switch
- 25 Gb/10 Gb iSCSI Converged Network Adapter (CNA) or 25 Gb/10 Gb iSCSI Network Interface Card (CNA)
Issue
- Hardware components that support 25 Gb/10 Gb iSCSI may not support auto-negotiated speed or auto-negotiated Forward Error Correction (FEC). This includes the NetApp E-Series E2800/E5700 10/25 Gb host interface card.
- This article does not apply to the onboard iSCSI ports because the speed cannot be manually set on those ports.
- Other components may include Converged Network Adapter (CNA), Network Interface Card (NIC), or iSCSI switch.
