Thank you. I'm using a nexsan e18 but the document helps a lot. It breaks down what each setting does and why you want or dont want it.

We bought a couple 5524's to use strictly as iSCSI switches for our SAN. Inisde the gui it has an SCSI optimization setting but i need to also enable portfast and mtu 9216 globally. i have 2 switches connected with hdmi so that i have unit 1 and 2. if i do interface range gi1/0/1-24 i can then do spanning-tree portfast. but im not sure how to also enable it for the two 10GbE ports. i am also unsure how to set mtu to 9216. someone told me to just type mtu 9216 but its not a recognized command.<br />

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
