Making network connections

Connect network ports as appropriate for the K2 Summit/Solo system storage option as in the following illustrations. In these illustrations the first generation K2 Summit system is shown. Connections are identical on the K2 Summit 3G system.



On a K2 Solo Media Server, an internal storage K2 Summit system, or a direct-connect storage K2 Summit system, connect the control network to port 1, which is the first port of the control team. If you have a FTP/streaming network, connect that network to port 2. Port 3 is not used. In most cases port 4, which is the second port of the control team, is not used, although it is available to provide additional redundancy for the control network connection.



On a non-redundant shared storage (SAN) K2 Summit system, connect the control network to port 1, which is the first port of the control team. Port 2 must be connected to the media (iSCSI) network. Port 3 is not used. Port 4, which is the second port of the control team, is not used except as follows: Port 4 may be used only if you extend your control network to provide the same redundancy as that of a redundant K2 SAN.

Refer to topics in "K2 10G SAN Installation and Service Manual" for more information.



On a redundant shared storage (SAN) K2 Summit system, you must connect both ports of the control team. Connect control network connection A to port 1 and control network connection B to port 4. You must also connect both media ports. Connect port 2 to the A media network and port 3 to the B media network. The media ports must not be teamed, as doing so interferes with failover functionality.

Refer to topics in "K2 10G SAN Installation and Service Manual" for more information.
