The Network Configuration has the below fields.


FieldsDescription

Name or Network

It is the Name of the logical Network, and it is unique for each Network Interface Card (NIC).

Interface ID

It is the physical ID of the Interface (eth0, eth1, etc.) for physical network and VLAN ID of the Interface (eth0.10, eth0.20, etc.) for VLAN network.

Device

The Device's (Cloud instance, virtual machine, or a physical server) name.

TypeType of network (Physical or VLAN).
VLAN Interface

It is the physical interface ID tagged to the VLAN.

For physical network it is empty.

VLAN ID

Unique ID used for VLAN network.

For physical network it is empty.

Mode

Static IP or DHCP.

IP Address

For a Static IP Mode, input the IP Address according to local network configuration. For a DHCP Mode, the IP Address will be set automatically by the DHCP server.

Network Mask

For a Static IP Mode, input the Network Mask according to local network configuration. For a DHCP Mode, the Network Mask will be set automatically by the DHCP server.

Default Gateway

For a Static IP Mode, input the Default Gateway according to local network configuration. For a DHCP Mode, the Default Gateway will be set automatically by the DHCP server.

Flow Control

Ethernet Flow Control settings (Auto, Enabled, or Disabled).

IGMP Version

IGMP version settings: Auto mode is recommended; however, certain network environments may require other IGMP versions.

Stacking Multicast

When checked (), the device can communicate with other MCM-9000 devices, when in Stack mode, through the selected network interface, and UDP multicast must be allowed on this network.

If checked, this network interface will transmit and receive the stack configuration between the stacked servers.

Video Bridge

When checked (), the NIC will send the streams in TCP mode to the displaying systems (CED) in stacking mode.

Stacking Multicast TTL

TTL (Time To Live) for the management of multicast communication.

MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) specifies the largest packet size that can be sent over a network connection. The standard default value is 1500 bytes.

NMOS

To enable the part of the registration in the TAG, check the check box on the interface that will connect to the mDNS registry. Once you have done it, you should be able to see the machine on your NMOS registry. Please refer to NMOS for more details. (available from version 5.5 onwards)


Note: If the Network Configuration is incorrect, the device's connection (and the device configuration) is no longer available. Please refer to Recover Network Configuration for more details.
