vMware iSCSI LoginTimeout

New to Nimble coming from Equallogic.  On Equallogic we set the iSCSI the LoginTimeout to 60 seconds (5 seconds default) as a best practice.  Later versions of their MEM driver (NCM) set this feature during the install.  It was also recommended to turn off LRO (Large Receive Offload)  Specifically these settings..(from a 1 to a 0)

  

Net.VmxnetSwLROSL

Net.Vmxnet3SwLRO

Net.Vmxnet3HwLRO

Net.Vmxnet2SwLRO

Net.Vmxnet2HwLRO

On the Nimble, other than installing the NCM do I need to change any settings?

Thanks!
