Configuring the MS Loopback Adapter

If your Trilligent Cluster includes a Foundry load-balancing (layer

4) network switch, perform the following steps on each Media

Server:

1. Right-click My Network Places on the desktop and select

Properties from the menu. The Network and Dial-up Connections

Properties window opens.

2. Locate the Loopback Adapter.

3. Right-click the Loopback adapter and select Properties from the

menu. The Loopback Adapter Properties dialog box appears.

4. Click the General tab.

5. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

6. Click the Properties button. The Internet Protocol dialog box

appears.

7. Click Use the following IP address.

8. Type the virtual IP address (VIP) that you are using for the

load-balancing network switch into the IP address text box.

9. Type the submask into the Subnet mask text box.

Do not set a default gateway for the Loopback Adapter. It will prevent

streaming from the VIP.

10. Click OK to close all of the open dialog boxes.

11. Close the Network and Dial-up Connections Properties window

to save the changes.

12. Reboot the Media Server.
