Appendix A
Network Storage IP Addressing
While network settings are automatically set within the Configuration Utility, understanding
the addressing scheme will be helpful when trying to troubleshoot networking problems.
The Avid MediaStream network address scheme design provides easy expansion to and
interoperation between additional Avid NSS. An individual Network Storage System is
defined as a
cluster
. Hosts tables have been defined for up to 16 clusters in a given facility.
This appendix covers the following Avid Network Storage System IP addressing topics:
•
Hosts Files and Hosts Tables
•
Aliases
•
Network Addressing Scheme
•
Subnet Mask
•
ConnectPlus1000 Gateways
Hosts File
The hosts file provides name resolution to the ConnectPlus gateway to communicate with
other system devices. The complete hosts file is quite large as it contains all names and
addresses for all potential system configurations. An abbreviated version of this file (with
headings separating devices) is shown below in the example “Hosts Table For Cluster 1.”To
abbreviate this file, sequential addresses have been skipped. Any entry ending with “xx…”
shows a continued sequence to the next entry.
