6 Sample Switch Topologies
The ISIS software kit includes sample switch configuration files. This section provides information on those files.
To access the sample switch configuration files, navigate to the [drive] \Switch Configuration folder in the ISIS
software kit, and select the ISIS product folder for your model switch.
• ISIS | 7500 switch configuration files are labeled Configurations A through E and do not apply to every
switch vendor. For example, there are no External Switch configurations for Brocade switches.
• ISIS | 5500 switch configuration files have been preloaded on the Dell Networking switches. Upgrade your
switch to the latest configuration file found in the
ISIS 5000/Dell Networking folder. The ISIS 5000/Cisco sample configurations must be loaded on the
Cisco switch.
• There are no switch configuration files for the ISIS | 2500 in the ISIS software kit. ISIS | 2500 systems
typically are integrated with ISIS | 7500 or ISIS | 5500 environments. The ISIS | 2500 System is connected to
ISIS | 7500 or ISIS | 5500 switches that have been configured with a separate VLAN for the ISIS | 2500
components.
The switch configuration file on your switch can be seen by accessing the switch console, entering enable mode
(typing
en ), and typing in the command show run .

If using the switch documentation be aware the default configuration is not the same as the Avid default
configuration. If you reload the default configuration according to the documentation, you will not get the Avid
default configuration.
Configuration Examples (ISIS | 7500)
All of the following configuration examples apply to the ISIS | 7500 systems.
Configuration A
This configuration consists of a single Layer 3 Avid Production Network switch. The switch can be either a switch
that supports Video and Audio playback or Command and Control only. In Command and Control, only Zone 1
Video/Audio 1 Gb and 10 Gb clients are supported with VLAN 10/20 connections to ISIS.
It is important to note that if this configuration consists of a Foundry/Brocade switch and Zone 4 clients are
planned, that buffer changes must be made to the port that is used for the uplink to the House Network. Those
changes are explained in
“Configuring Buffer Pool to Support Editing Clients” on page 89. In the example
following those changes are incorporated on port 24.
Terms are used with the ports in the following table.
• G — Gigabit
• T — Ten gigabit
• e — ethernet
