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.
