4. Using a laptop (or computer running a Windows operating system), assign a static IP address
of
192.168.0.100
to the network adapter (NIC) and attach it to the management port of left
IXS.
5. Open a browser and navigate to the Switch Agent Web page via the following address:
https://192.168.0.10:5015
.

The Avid ISIS 7500 | 7000 Integrated Switch Blade Window appears.
7. Type the following into the Chassis Configuration window:
-
Starting IP addresses. Enter the IP addresses for both subnets, see
.
-
Subnet mask
-
Ending IP address should be the last address of the engine in the system. Remember that
each engine has 17 IP addresses on each side, for a total of 34. Set the ending address
high enough to cover the last engine and any possible near term future needs.
If you are going to be using a Zone 3 environment you must set the default gateway
addresses for both sides of the engine. These addresses must come from the site’s IS
department.

Make sure there are no DHCP servers connected to the network segments that assign addresses
in the Avid ISIS range.

Date, Time, and Time Zone or Enable network time protocol
If your network has a network time protocol (NTP) server, you can enter the IP address
of that server in the Chassis Configuration window. NTP Server 1 is for the primary
NTP server and if you have a secondary NTP server, enter the secondary IP address in
NTP Server 2.
n
Once the NTP is configured on a switch, the information propagates to all the other switches
automatically. The time is also automatically synchronized onto the storage blades after the NTP
is configured on the switch.
