    The steps described in this use case assume that the MS1300 has default configurations loaded in all its elements (factory default). Kontron created other use cases related to the MS1300 network configuration. You may refer to them if you want to: Create a common network for management and payload traffic ...
  • Page 4: Platform Architecture

    MS1300 Getting Started | VLAN-segregated Management and Payload Networks Note that each MS1300 platform like most rack-mounted deployments contains a switch. It is therefore recommended that you identify the appropriate upstream topology with the help of the IT/network personnel managing the upstream network hardware and configuration.
