Configuring Additional Networking
A common configuration isolates video traffic from management traffic for either security reasons or to isolate video traffic on a
physically separate network. The exacqVision Virtual appliance is deployed with only one interface (eth0). Before adding interfaces,
start the appliance for the first time. The first network connection’s MAC address is used for licensing the server in the client. This
interface should always be configured for your management network.
If you want physically separated networks attached to your VMware host, configure a new standard switch and connect it to one or
more dedicated virtual machine NICs. A VMkernal Port is not required for the switch.
If a physical separate network is not available and your network supports VLANs, create a Camera Virtual Machine port group using
the same physical interfaces as the management network, and then assign to a security VLAN ID on your network.
Configure a second port group for the management interface and use VLAN ID 4095, which accepts all VLAN traffic. Connect the
deployment interface to this port group. After the virtual machine has been deployed, add a second Ethernet interface and attach it
to the Camera Port group.
Either scenario can support multiple physical adapters in order to provide redundancy for the virtual switch.
