Streaming Server Configuration

systems.
The following topics provide more information about configuring these systems:

Streaming Server Slot Locations, SR2500
The following illustration shows the slot locations and the network connections on an SR2500
server.
ISIS Connections
The Interplay Streaming Server has been qualified with one network interface card (NIC) and
with two NICs.
There is no performance benefit to dual-connecting the Interplay Streaming Server to an ISIS
network, since there is enough bandwidth to support 100 simultaneous clients (see “Number of
Supported Streaming Clients” on page 110). If a second NIC is required to segment your
Streaming Server client for security purposes, then it should be connected to the outgoing
streaming VLAN. If you use more than one NIC, you must ensure that DNS assigns the
appropriate IP address to the Streaming Server clients and Interplay Engine.
