Explanation

iSCSI Topologies: Native iSCSI Two topologies of iSCSI implementations are native and bridged. Native topology does not have FC components. The initiators may be either directly attached to targets or connected through the FC components are not required for iSCSI connectivity if an iSCSI-enabled array is deployed. In figure in the slide, the array has one or more iSCSI ports configured with an IP address and connected to a standard Ethernet switch. After an initiator is logged on to the network, it can access the available LUNs on the storage array. A single array port can service multiple hosts or initiators as long as the array port can handle the amount of storage traffic that the hosts
