IPv4

IPv6

IP Address

The IP address of the iSCSI host is displayed.

Note that the IPv6 address is displayed as an abbreviation. If the IP address is not specified, the field is blank.

For IPv4 address

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

xxx: 0 - 255 (decimal)

For IPv6 address

xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx

xxxx: 0 - ffff (hexadecimal, "a" - "f" are lowercase letters)

Refer to "IPv6 Address Notation" for details.

Blank

Alias Name

The iSCSI host Alias name is displayed.

If the Alias name is not specified, the field is blank.

CHAP User ID

The CHAP user name of the iSCSI host is displayed.

If the CHAP user ID is not specified, the field is blank.

IPv6 Address Notation

Since the IPv6 address is 128-bit and extremely long, this address is displayed using "xxxx", which describes 16-bit in hexadecimals as being one block that is separated by colons (":").

xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx

   •  The current setting is displayed with 0 - ffff (hexadecimal, "a" - "f" are lowercase letters)

   •  Up to 128-bit

   •  The first 64-bit (prefix) of the link local address is fixed to "fe80::"

The following three abbreviation methods are available for IPv6 addresses:

(1) Omission of the first "0" of a block that follows consecutive zeros.

[Example] 2001:1000:0120:0000:0000:0123:0000:0000

      ↓

      2001:1000:120:0000:0000:123:0000:0000

(2) Replacement of "0000" blocks with "0".

[Example] 2001:1000:120:0000:0000:123:0000:0000

      ↓

      2001:1000:120:0:0:123:0:0

(3) Replacement of a block with consecutive zeros by "::" is performed only once.

[Example] 2001:1000:120:0:0:123:0:0

      ↓

      2001:1000:120::123:0:0 is OK

      2001:1000:120::123:: is not allowed (Replacement of a block with consecutive zeros by "::" is allowed only once.)
