Removing and resetting the interface properties
This section lists the procedures for removing all the interface properties except MTU. It also contains the procedure to reset MTU to the default value (1500).
The MTU cannot be removed and can only be reset to its default value.
To remove the interface properties
- Open a Secure Shell (SSH) session to log on to the appliance as an administrator.
- Navigate to the Main_Menu > Settings > iSCSI menu.
- Use the following commands to remove the specific properties:
Type the command Interface Gateway Remove and enter an iSCSI interface name.
This command removes the gateway from the specified interface.
Example:
iSCSI> Interface Gateway Remove iscsi1
[Info] The Gateway has been removed from iscsi1.
Type the command Interface IPAddress Remove and enter an iSCSI interface name.
The command removes the IP address from the specified interface.
Example:
iSCSI> Interface IPAddress Remove iscsi1
[Info] The IP address has been removed from iscsi1.
Type the command Interface Netmask Remove and enter an iSCSI interface name.
The command removes the Netmask from the specified interface.
Example:
iSCSI> Interface Netmask Remove iscsi1

Type the command Interface VLAN Remove and enter an iSCSI interface name.
The command removes the VLAN tag from the specified interface.
Example:
iSCSI> Interface VLAN Remove iscsi1

To reset the MTU
- Open a Secure Shell (SSH) session to log on to the appliance as an administrator.
- Navigate to the Main_Menu > Settings > iSCSI menu.
- Type the command Interface MTU Reset and enter an iSCSI interface name. Note that the command resets MTU to the default value (1500) on both the iSCSI interface and the network interface to which it maps.
