Command History
Usage Guidelines Access lists identify the IP hosts allowed to access a common set of storage resources and are associated
with specific storage targets. IP hosts can be identified by:
• IP address
• CHAP user name (used for iSCSI authentication)
• iSCSI Name
An access list can contain one or more types of identification entries. If an identification entry type exists
in the access list, the IP host attempting to access the associated storage target must have a matching
entry defined in the access list. For example, if an access list contains both IP address and iSCSI Name
identification entry types, then every IP host that requires access to the associated set of storage
resources must have a matching IP address and iSCSI Name entry in the access list.
There is a maximum of 100 access lists per storage router or per storage router cluster. There is a
maximum of 200 access list identification entries across all access lists in the storage router or storage
router cluster.
In a cluster environment, access list management functions are handled by a single storage router. To
determine which storage router is performing access list management functions, issue the show cluster
command. If you issue an accesslist description command from a storage router that is not performing
access list management functions, the CLI displays an informational message with the name of the node
that is currently handling those functions.
See Chapter 11, “Maintaining and Managing the SN 5428-2 Storage Router,” for more information about
operating the storage router in a cluster.
