Network Configuration; Ip Configuration - Avid Technology FastServe Playout Setup Manual

Network Configuration

Before installing the FastServe | Playout engine on the server, configure the machine's network
properties.
To configure the FastServe | Playout server for the network:
1. Login to your Linux operating system as "root". There is no password.
2. Use the Ethtool to check which Ethernet socket detected a connection to your network:
FastServe | Playout UHDS machines have 4 Ethernet sockets: eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3. Eth0 and
eth1 are 1Gb network connections, while eth2 and eth3 are 10Gb.

IP Configuration

Once the connected network device is found, it is time to configure the IP. For the purpose of this
topic, ethX will be used as a reference.
To assign an IP address:
1. Navigate to the network-scripts folder:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
2. Open the ifcfg-ethX (replace X with your eth number) file:
vim ifcfg-ethX
3. Change the IP address and prefix (subnet=255.255.255.0, prefix = 24). Obtain proper parameters
from your network administrator.
4. Set a proper value for the DNS parameter or remove this entry from the file.
5. To save and exit the file, type
:wq!
and press Enter.
