ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for providing VLAN support in an iSCSI environment are disclosed. The systems and methods support associating multiple SCSI routing components in a storage router with multiple VLANs. Target devices on a storage area network are thus only present on the VLAN associated with the SCSI routing component that maps the target devices.
