Network Configuration

The recommended Milestone VMS network configuration includes separate networks for cameras
and client machines. This helps provide security (by segregating switch ports on the camera
network, which may be physically exposed to potential intruders, from internal management
networks) and helps prevent video traffic from the cameras from consuming bandwidth on the client
network.
However, when using the Allied Telesis Plug-In to manage Allied Telesis PoE switches that are
connected to the camera network, direct network connectivity is required between the switch and
the machines that are hosting the XProtect Client software. To preserve network security and
performance, it is recommended that separate VLANs be used on the switch for the management
interface and the camera ports.
