Modifying K2 client unassigned (unmanaged) interface

  • The system description has a SAN K2 client that is a placeholder device.
  • The placeholder device must have one or more unmanaged network interfaces.
Use this task to modify unmanaged network interfaces on a K2 SAN device as follows:
  • K2 Summit Production Client
  1. In the Network Configuration | Devices tree view, select a SAN K2 client placeholder device.

    The interfaces for that device are displayed in the interfaces list view.

  2. In the interfaces list view, right-click an interface and select Edit.

    The Unmanaged Network Interface Details dialog box opens.



  3. Configure the settings for the interface as follows:
    Setting... For control network interface
    Network Control is required
    IP Address The IP address for this interface on the network. Required.
    Interface Name The device host name. Required.
    Set to Default Not recommended. Sets the interface name to SiteConfig default convention, based on the root Site name and device-type.
    ...use Interface Name/Aliases in Host Files... Unselected is required. Since not selected, the default behavior occurs, which is to use the device host name in the hosts file.
    Aliases Not allowed
    DNS Suffix Allowed, if applicable to the network. The DNS suffix is added to the interface name.

    Setting... For media (iSCSI) network interface
    Network iSCSI (non-Redundant) is required for one iSCSI interface on a K2 client on a basic K2 SAN. The other iSCSI interface is unused.
    iSCSI (Primary Redundant) is required for one iSCSI interface on a K2 client on a redundant K2 SAN.
    iSCSI (Secondary Redundant) is required for the other iSCSI interface on a K2 client on a redundant K2 SAN
    IP Address The IP address for this interface on the network. Required.
    Interface Name Disabled, since names are excluded from the hosts file. Disregard.
    Set to Default Disabled, since names are excluded from the hosts file. Disregard.
    ...use Interface Name/Aliases in Host Files... Disabled, since names are excluded from the hosts file. Disregard.
    Aliases Disabled, since names are excluded from the hosts file. Disregard.
    DNS Suffix Disabled, since names are excluded from the hosts file. Disregard.
    Note: There is no FTP/streaming network for a SAN K2 client. On the K2 SAN, FTP/streaming goes to the K2 Media Server.
  4. Click OK to save settings and close.
