EMC® VNX® Series Security Configuration Guide for VNX
Support for VLAN tagging
VLAN is supported for iSCSI data ports and management ports on VNX storage systems. In addition to better performance, ease of management, and cost benefits, VLANs provide security advantages since devices configured with VLAN tags can see and communicate with each other only if they belong to the same VLAN. So, you can set up multiple virtual ports on the VNX, and segregate hosts into different VLANs based on your security policy. You can also restrict sensitive data to one VLAN. VLANs also make it harder to sniff traffic because they require sniffing across multiple networks, which provides extra security.
Enabling VLAN tagging is optional on a per-port basis. When enabled, up to eight virtual ports can be configured for a 1GB/s port and 10 GB/s port, and one virtual port for a management port. VLAN tagging on a management port supports IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. For more information on VLAN support, refer to the VLAN Tagging and Routing on CLARiiON white paper on the EMC Online Support website at http://Support.EMC.com.
