Understanding Multiple ISIS Workgroups
126
Local ISIS System and Remote ISIS Systems
An Interplay workgroup requires one ISIS shared-storage system that shares the same subnet
with the Interplay workgroup. This ISIS system is considered the local system. You can use the
ISIS client software on the Interplay Engine to add an ISIS system that exists on a different
subnet. This ISIS system is considered a remote system.
The following illustration shows an example of a multiple ISIS configuration. The local ISIS
system is an ISIS 7000, dual-connected to an Avid network switch through subnets VLAN 10
and VLAN 20 (Zones 1 and 2). The remote ISIS system is an ISIS 5000, single-connected
through VLAN 30, a different subnet on the same switch (Zone 3). A Media Indexer is
dual-connected to the same subnets as the Interplay Engine and local ISIS system. This Media
Indexer is configured to scan both the local ISIS system and the remote ISIS system.

This illustration shows one example of an Interplay network configuration. Other configurations
are also supported if each ISIS System Director is in its own Zone 3 subnet.
