> # iSCSI-Based Access Control

> iSCSI-based access control is applicable only if static iSCSI virtual targets are created (see the "Static Mapping" topic). For a static iSCSI target, you can configure a list of iSCSI initiators that are allowed to access the targets.

> By default, static iSCSI virtual targets are not accessible to any iSCSI host. You must explicitly configure accessibility to allow an iSCSI virtual target to be accessed by all hosts. The initiator access list can contain one or more initiators. The iSCSI initiator can be identified by one of the following mechanisms:

> - iSCSI node name
> - IPv4 address and subnet
> - IPv6 address

> Note For a transparent mode iSCSI initiator, if both Fibre Channel zoning and iSCSI ACLs are used, then for every static iSCSI target that is accessible to the iSCSI host, the initiator’s virtual N port should be in the same Fibre Channel zone as the Fibre Channel target.
