GIGABIT ETHERNET
All the servers, where the trains and clips should be browsed and backed up, have
to be connected on the same Gigabit Ethernet as the XFly. The IP address range
and the subnet mask should match XFly/XTAccess LAN settings.
Default Gateway settings are available if the servers and workstations are spread
in different VLANs.
Some limitations and recommendations exist on the Gigabit connections:
•
6 accesses maximum per HiRes server
•
30 accesses per LowRes server
•
Gigabit connections manage Ethernet frame size: Original (1500) or Jumbo
Frames (9000 bytes of payload (MTU)) which offer better performances around
30%. If XFly/XTAccess workstations should negotiate jumbo frames with
servers, all Gigabit Ethernet NICs and switches have to be configured in order
to support this frame size.
