Network Setup Requirements
Obtain the following information from your corporate Information Technology (IT) department before you
customize your Cisco uplink:
• Uplink IP address for Vlan or Port IP address/subnet mask ______.______.______.______
______.______.______.______
• Vlan IP address for local subnet
______.______.______.______ ______.______.______.______
• Switch's default gateway Address ______.______.______.______
• (Optional) DHCP server (ip helper addresses)
- First: ______.______.______.______
- Second: ______.______.______.______
• Static IP addresses for each Avid ISIS Engine; four IP addresses for the 1 Gb connections, one IP addresses
per Engine for the 10 Gb connections
• Port on a corporate network switch to connect the Cisco switch
Uplinking Your Cisco Switch to the Corporate Network
The following procedure sets the IP address for the corporate uplink on the Cisco switch using a route link.
To set the IP address for the corporate uplink:
1. Use your terminal emulation program or telnet into switch.
2. SwitchHostName >
en
3. SwitchHostName #
conf t
4. SwitchHostName(config)#
interface Gi x/y
(where x/y is for the unit/port number)
5. SwitchHostName(config-if)#
no switchport
6. SwitchHostName(config-if)#
ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
(where x's equals IP address and y's equals subnet mask)
7. SwitchHostName(config-if)#
no shut
8. SwitchHostName(config-if)#
end
9. SwitchHostName#
copy run start
10. SwitchHostName#
exit

Sample Cisco Switch Configuration
Multiple switches can be cascaded from the core switch depending on the quantity of available 10 Gb ports on the
core switch (upstream) and the bandwidth/resilience required.
For example, an C4900M switch has more 10 Gb aggregate interconnects, where a C4948E and C4948-10GE do
not provide as many 10 Gb ports.
The following illustration is a sample switch configuration using the C4900M and C4948E switches. It includes
four Engines using 10 Gb links and up to 88 1 Gb clients.
