Hybrid Network Configuration
Note:
To deploy Project Serve in a hybrid network your Project Serve configuration
must feature two network ports for communication, excluding the Admin port.
In the hybrid deployment configuration Project Serve, the NAS appliance and the
client computers are interconnected in a private network using 1GbE or 10GbE switch.
The Project Serve appliance and the client computers are also connected to the office
network. The benefit of this deployment is that the private network provides higher
throughput to the depot from the Project Serve appliance and the client computers,
while also providing Internet access to the appliance through the existing office
network, thus facilitating the downloads of firmware updates and also letting non-
client computers on the office network or over the Internet preview projects and proxy
media in the Project Serve’s web interface.
To deploy Project Serve in a hybrid network configuration, connect its 10GbE port to
the 10GbE Ethernet switch of the private network and then connect the 1GbE port of
the Project Serve appliance to the office network.
To interconnect Project Serve through the 1GbE port:
Note:
Your Project Serve shipment doesn't include twisted pair cables.
1.
Plug one end of the network cable into the Public port of the appliance.
Note:
In case your configuration features additional 1GbE port(s) (aside from the
Admin port), perform the above step, plugging the network cable in the 1GbE port
at the back of the appliance marked with:
2.
Plug other end of the network cable in the port of the Ethernet switch that
interconnects computers on the network.
To interconnect Project Serve through the 10GbE port:
Note:
Your Project Serve shipment doesn't include copper and fibre optic cables.
