Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 155)

Media (iSCSI) network description
The media network is exclusively for real-time iSCSI traffic on a K2 SAN. It must be on a different
subnet than the control network and the streaming/FTP network. Furthermore, its traffic is kept
physically separate from that of other networks. This separation is provided by dedicated ports,
cables, and by a dedicated VLAN on the Ethernet switch or by separate switches. Static IP addresses
are required for the media network. Name resolution is not necessary, so media network IP addresses
are not required in host files.
Corporate LAN network description
The Corporate LAN is the external customer LAN. GV STRATUS client PCs that use a low-resolution
media workflow are typically on the corporate LAN. If so, the GV STRATUS server(s) with role
of Core Server and role of Proxy Server must have network access to the corporate LAN.
If GV STRATUS clients are on the corporate LAN, the network carries low-resolution traffic, both
live streaming (multicast) and proxy file access.

Networking tips
• Before configuring any devices for networks, determine the full scope of IP addresses and names
needed for the all the machines in your system. Work with the network administrator at your
facility to have IP addresses and names available for your use.
• It is recommended that you use the patterns offered in SiteConfig by default to establish a
consistent convention for machine names and IP addresses. You can plan, organize, and enter
this information in SiteConfig as you develop a system description. You can do this even before
you have devices installed and/or cabled.
