ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for identifying IPsec security policy in iSCSI. In an exemplary aspect of the present invention, a method for identifying IPsec security policy in iSCSI includes the following steps. An IP address may be allocated to a physical port of an iSCSI network entity. The physical port may include at least one TCP listening port. For a discovery session, the IP address may be statically allocated (or permanently leased). For a normal session, the IP address may be statically allocated or DHCP assigned. A TCP listening port associated with the IP address in an iSCSI portal may then be used to link a security policy on an IP connection with iSCSI configuration.
