M4300-8X8F or M4300-12X12F for iSCSI with iSER
Hi Netgear Community I need help to find the right Switch. I want connect 3 Servers that have a 10GB SPF+ Card (http://www.colfaxdirect.com/store/pc/catalog/QL41132HLCU.pdf) with my NAS(https...
Thank you for your messahe and your research.
Yes, between these two switches you should go with the M4300-12X12F (XSM4324S-100xxx ordering SKU) instead of the M4300-8X8F (XSM4316S-100xxx ordering SKU). We amended the M4300 datasheet, PFC isn't supported on 16-port 10G versions, only starting 24-port 10G versions due to hardware limitation.
PFC is available in the CLI, not in the Web GUI. You can use the CLI manual and enable PFC on one physical interface (port) or a range of physical interfaces (port) this way, starting page 985:
The following example enables PFC on an interface and enable the lossless (no drop) behavior:
(NETGEAR Switch) >enable
(NETGEAR Switch) #config
(NETGEAR Switch) (config) #interface 1/0/1
(NETGEAR Switch) (config-if-1/0/1) #datacenter-bridging
(NETGEAR Switch) (config-if-dcb) #priority-flow-control mode on
(NETGEAR Switch) (config-if-dcb) #priority-flow-control priority 1 no-drop
(NETGEAR Switch) (config-if-dcb) #exit
(NETGEAR Switch) (config-if-1/0/1) #exit
(NETGEAR Switch) (config) # save
