Note
When an interface is in proxy initiator mode, you can only configure Fibre Channel access control
(zoning) based on the iSCSI interface's proxy N port attributes—the WWN pairs or the FCID. You
cannot configure zoning using iSCSI attributes such as IP address or IQN of the iSCSI initiator. To
enforce initiator-based access control, use iSCSI based access control (see the
section on page
VSAN Membership for iSCSI
Similar to Fibre Channel devices, iSCSI devices have two mechanisms by which VSAN membership can
be defined.
•
•
VSAN Membership for iSCSI Hosts
Individual iSCSI hosts can be configured to be in a specific VSAN (similar to the DPVM feature for
Fibre Channel, see
interface VSAN membership.
To assign VSAN membership for iSCSI hosts, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# iscsi initiator name
iqn.1987-02.com.cisco.initiator
switch(config-iscsi-init)#
Step 3
switch(config-iscsi-init)# vsan 3
switch(config-iscsi-init)# no vsan 5

iSCSI host—VSAN membership to iSCSI host (This method takes precedent over the iSCSI
interface.)
iSCSI interface—VSAN membership to iSCSI interface (All iSCSI hosts connecting to this iSCSI
interface inherit the interface VSAN membership if the host is not configured in any VSAN by the
iSCSI host method.)

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures an iSCSI initiator.
Assigns the iSCSI initiator node to a specified VSAN.
Note
You can assign this host to one or more VSANs.
Removes the iSCSI node from the specified VSAN.
