  • Group zoning and access control over a network
    Patent number: 11283804
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to hard zoning capabilities for devices using Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) protocol. For example, a method includes creating a virtual local area network (VLAN) at an Ethernet switch between an initiator and target adapter. The method includes assigning an access control list (ACL) to the VLAN, The method includes segregating a device of a plurality of devices connected to the SAN into a zone group. The method also includes controlling access of a zone group based on the ACL and frame filtering.
    Type: Grant

  • NETWORK MANAGEMENT USING PORT ANNOUNCEMENTS
    Publication number: 20170034008
    Abstract: A system includes multiple devices in a storage area network (SAN). Each device includes at least one network port, at least one processor, and a management module. The management module is to receive announcements generated by ports included in an announcement group, where the ports are included in the other devices, and where each announcement includes port metadata for a particular port. The management module is also to determine, based on the announcements, a network mapping of the ports and the devices.
