Abstract
A storage router and method for creating a first session to a first information-handling system on a first network supporting IP packets, the network having a plurality of information-handling systems, creating a second session to the first information-handling system on a second network supporting IP packets, supporting iSCSI operations in the first session through an internet protocol (IP) port coupled to the first network, supporting management operations in the second session through an internet protocol (IP) port coupled to the second network, wherein the first and second sessions use a common IP layer, and preventing iSCSI operations from using the second network.
