Abstract
Techniques for establishing connectivity may include receiving a first login command from an initiator port at a target port; and determining whether the first login command includes valid login authentication information for the initiator port that sent the first login command, and whether the initiator port identifier of the initiator port that sent the first login command includes a key. If the first login command does not include valid login authentication information and the initiator port identifier includes the key, first processing may be performed including: recording first information about the first login command in a registration table; and rejecting the first login command. A second login command may be received from the initiator port at the target port. If the second login command includes valid login authentication information for the initiator port, the second login command may be successfully processed to log the initiator port into the target port.
