Network Connection; Isis 7000 Configurations - Avid Technology ISIS File Gateway Setup And User Manual

Network Connection

Before you attempt to define the IP addressing for your File Gateway and configure the
static internal IP addresses, you should have a solid understanding of how the addresses are
assigned within the ISIS environment.
Connect the two (Intel Pro 1000) Ethernet ports on the right side of the File Gateway to the
Zone 2 switch using a CAT5 E, CAT6 cable or better. For a list of cables qualified with the
Avid ISIS system, see

The ghost image on the File Gateway servers does not set the IP addresses of the two

ISIS 7000 Configurations

A Zone 2 (indirect connect) configuration consists of group of clients connected to an
Ethernet switch with a 10-Gb port connected to an ISS located in the Engine. Both Ethernet
ports on the File Gateway server connect to one subnet via the Zone 2 switch using a 1-Gb
port. CIFS and FTP clients can also use 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections.
n
Connecting the File Gateway server to the Zone 2 switch allows the CIFS and FTP traffic to
completely bypass the ISIS client traffic. If the File Gateway server is directly connected as a
Zone 1 client, then CIFS, FTP, and ISIS traffic all goes through ISIS, effectively doubling the
ISIS bandwidth usage.
