Which of the following concepts are included in the security of a SAN? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.
A.
Host adapter-based security
B.
Storage-controller mapping
C.
Switch zoning
D.
IDS implementation
Explanation:
Storage area network (SAN) is a dedicated network that provides access to a consolidated, block level data storage. The security of SAN is completely dependent upon the users authentication or authorization. SAN security includes the following concepts:
Host adapter-based security: Security measures for the Fibre Channel host bus adapter can be implemented at the driver level.
Switch zoning: Switch zoning is used in a switch-based Fibre Channel SAN. It refers to the masking of all nodes connected to the switch.
Storage-controller mapping: By mapping all host adapters against LUNs in the storage system, some storage sub-systems accomplish LUN masking in their storage.Answer option D is incorrect, IDS is not implemented for the security of a SAN.
