### Configuration file {#cmd_arg_config_file}
Historically, the SPDK applications were configured using a configuration file.
This is still supported, but is considered deprecated in favor of JSON RPC
configuration. See @ref jsonrpc for details.
Note that `--config` and `--wait-for-rpc` cannot be used at the same time.

## Configuring iSCSI Target via config file {#iscsi_config}
A `iscsi_tgt` specific configuration file is used to configure the iSCSI target. A fully documented
example configuration file is located at `etc/spdk/iscsi.conf.in`.
The configuration file is used to configure the SPDK iSCSI target. This file defines the following:
TCP ports to use as iSCSI portals; general iSCSI parameters; initiator names and addresses to allow
access to iSCSI target nodes; number and types of storage backends to export over iSCSI LUNs; iSCSI
target node mappings between portal groups, initiator groups, and LUNs.
You should make a copy of the example configuration file, modify it to suit your environment, and
then run the iscsi_tgt application and pass it the configuration file using the -c option. Right now,
the target requires elevated privileges (root) to run.

This is a hexadecimal bit mask of the CPU cores where the iSCSI target will start polling threads.

### Configuring a LUN in the iSCSI Target {#iscsi_lun}
Each LUN in an iSCSI target node is associated with an SPDK block device. See @ref bdev
for details on configuring SPDK block devices. The block device to LUN mappings are specified in the
configuration file as:
~~~~
[TargetNodeX]
LUN0 Malloc0
LUN1 Nvme0n1
~~~~
This exports a malloc'd target. The disk is a RAM disk that is a chunk of memory allocated by iscsi in
user space. It will use offload engine to do the copy job instead of memcpy if the system has enough DMA
channels.
## Configuring iSCSI Target via RPC method {#iscsi_rpc}
In addition to the configuration file, the iSCSI target may also be configured via JSON-RPC calls. See
@ref jsonrpc for details.
