Although it is not shown in the previous diagram, to ensure high availability, whenever possible, the System
Directors should be connected to two different subnets through two different Engines.
ISIS | 7500 Zone 3 and Zone 4 Client Configuration
A Zone 3 (indirect connect) configuration consist of a group of clients connected to an Avid qualified layer-3
switch (routed) with known Quality of Service (QoS); traffic routed to ISIS (one hop) and load-balanced across
ISIS VLANs (approximately a 60/40 ratio).
A Zone 4 (indirect connect) configuration consists of group of clients using an Ethernet switch with unknown
QoS; traffic routed to Avid ISIS (measured by the number of hops) and load-balanced across ISIS VLANs
(approximately a 60/40 ratio).
The house switch should have uplinks to the Avid Production Network through an Ethernet switch that contains a
10 Gb port connected to an ISS located in the Engine. The System Director connects to the both subnets via both
ISS modules using a 1 Gb Zone 1 port.
