Modifying stand-alone K2 client unassigned (unmanaged) interfaces

  • The system description must have a stand-alone 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 standalone K2 client as follows:
  • K2 Summit Production Client
  1. In the Network Configuration | Devices tree view, select a stand-alone K2 client placeholder device.

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



    Edit the control network interface first.
  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.
  4. Click OK to save settings and close.
  5. If you have a FTP/streaming network, repeat these steps but select the stand-alone K2 client's other network interface and configure settings as follows.
    Setting... For FTP/streaming network interface
    Network Streaming is required
    IP Address The IP address for this interface on the network. Required.
    Interface Name The device host name with the " _he0" suffix added is required. For example, if the host name is K2prod01, then K2prod01_he0 is required here.
    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... Selected is required
    Aliases Not allowed
    DNS Suffix Allowed, if applicable to the network. The DNS suffix is added to the interface name.
  6. Click OK to save settings and close.
  7. Repeat this procedure for each of your stand-alone K2 client placeholder devices.
