Gigabit Ethernet
There are six Gigabit Ethernet ports on the NX1010 series (see Figure 1-4 ).
Figure 1-4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Harris servers that operate in a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment
use Ethernet to keep all nodes in sync with each other and to perform
functions not carried out via Fibre Channel. Port(s) assigned to this
network are strictly for use by Harris products only. The Ethernet ports can
be used for communications to the NEXIO LAN or file transfer.
Ethernet port designations may change if you are in a teamed network
environment. See
“NX1010MIOH” on page 20 for more information.
NEXIO LAN —
Designated as the LAN Ethernet port(s) for NEXIO systems
control and communication.
The following specifications apply to the NEXIO LAN:
„
Use Ethernet network switch provided by Harris or customer provided
switch as per MPR ABC-0001,
NEXIO Ethernet Support Use of
Customer Provided Ethernet Switches
„
100Base-T or 1000Base-T full duplex Ethernet (1000Base-T requires
use of CAT5e or CAT6 cables)
„
100Base-T to the approved client workstations
„
Category 5e or 6 cabling
File Transfer
—
Lets you establish a transfer network to move content in
and out of the NEXIO SAN via Ethernet. This is typically connected to a
Gigabit Ethernet switch. These ports can be used by a 3
rd
party control
system.
The following specifications apply when moving content in and out of a
NX1010 series:
„
FTP Server must be running on the NEXIO node that is used to move
clips in and out of the server system.
