Restrict network interface to a single target

Hi guys,

I would like to know if it's possible to restrict a network interface to access a single target.

My StarWind server is hosting important ESXi devices but I must give another device to a user which I don't fully trust/know, I want him to have access to only his device while he connects using his own dedicated network interface.

Or, is it possible to run two instances of StarWind on the same server? One can handle a group of NICs and another can handle another group of NICs, etc.

Is that possible?

Hi Bilo,
ACLs are the way to go here.
You can make a rule which will only list ESXi targets to ESXi hosts.
There are 3 variables you can change in the rule - Interface, initiator name, and target name. Then you either allow or deny the connection under the specified parameters.

You can find more information and detailed how-to on ACLs in Under Help->Help Topics in the StarWind management console.
