How to remove iSCSI default gateway?

As iSCSI is an isolated network it does NOT need tio have gateway filled (or 0.0.0.0 would be good)

But vC5 does NOT allow that

And in case of two subnets with software iSCSI it makes it a real mess, as it has only one gateway for BOTH subnets (which is for start plain wrong)

No need to set the default gateway to 0.0.0.0. Like each system the VMKernel can have only one default gateway and this is usually used for the management network. It cannot be reached from another IP subnet and therefore you can safely ignore the (grayed out) setting when you look at the other VMKernel ports.

True, it is greyed out, but it CAN be changed.

If it is not used, then it is pretty pointless having it or at least not be able to change it to 0.0.0.0 as in previous versions
