In a computer system having a storage device switches and hosts
respectively connected by a network, in accordance with an ID of a
logical volume of the storage device and an IP address of a host, access
control configuration of the logical volume is performed relative to the
storage device, the IP address of the host is converted into a MAC
address, the MAC address of the host is converted into a port ID of the
switch connected to the host, and addition of the port to virtual local
area network (VLAN) is performed for the switch. Logical unit number
(LUN) masking and VLAN configuration essential for security
countermeasure of IP-SAN (Internet protocol-storage area network) can be
