Control network description
The control network is for communication between devices and components. It does not have
real-time media traffic or streaming/FTP media traffic. The control network must be on a different
subnet than the streaming/FTP network and the media (iSCSI) network. The control network and
the streaming/FTP network may be on the same VLAN. The control network and the media (iSCSI)
network must not be on the same VLAN. Static IP addresses with name resolution via host files are
recommended for the control network.
The control network also carries low-resolution traffic, both live streaming (multicast) and proxy
file access.
