Ethernet port(s) to use for transferring file data to and from the Harmonic MediaGrid.
IMPORTANT: After modifying the network settings, you must restart your computer in order for a
change to take effect.
NOTE: The network interface that will be used for meta-data (small message) communication between
the client and the ContentDirector is selected by the underlying OS kernel. Any changes you make to this
setting do not affect which interface is used for meta-data communication with the ContentDirector.

Specific
This option allows you to specify one or more Ethernet interfaces for communication
interfaces with the Harmonic MediaGrid. For example, if your computer has both a 1GbE NIC
and a 10 GbE NIC, you might wish to specify the 10 GbE NIC for communication
with the Harmonic MediaGrid. Separate multiple IP addresses with a colon.

Double-check that you have correctly entered each IP address. Also, changes in
system configuration can change the NIC and/or IP address configuration. It is
important to re-verify the IP addresses after any configuration changes.
