c210 M2 onboard nic

Does c210 m2 onboard nic supported iscsi san?  I can't find related document about this?

Do you mean iSCSI Boot, or just iSCSI data traffic, which is essentially TCP/IP over Etherent ?

Hi Jiusong,

The C210 M2 has embedded dual-port Intel 82576NS PCIe-based Gigabit Ethernet controller

Iscsi boot using these nics is not supported, this feature was only added to the the c250 and C460 onboard nics

Let me know if this answers your question

What about the iscsi san? Does it support iscsi data traffic? Thanks for your kindly reply.

If you want to access iscsi storage, you will find out if your OS can provision an iSCSI software adapter.  For example, in vmware you can set an sicsi software adapter to access the iscsi storage.  See below.
