Can I Use the 2x LAN Ports on the V-Iris Panels for Different Applications?
Questions:
Are both Ethernet ports on the back set up the same?
Can the user connect either one to their network?
Can the 2nd port be used for a redundant network connection?
Solution:
Both Ethernet ports on IP-Antenna (IPT) and V-IRIS panels are two ports on the internal Ethernet Switch. They are to be treated exactly like you would two ports of any Ethernet switch. That means:
- You can connect either one to your network and all the AoIP and Admin traffic will go through
- Ethernet traffic is switched from one port to the other, meaning you can daisy-chain equipment. IPTs are more sensitive to daisy-chaining and PTP might become unstable as you add equipment to the chain
- V-IRIS and IPT do not currently support splitting Admin/IVC and AoIP/AES67 like on the E-IPA card so both IP addresses must be in the same subnet.
- You cannot connect both ports to the same network or daisy-chain to a full loop, you will bring your network down.
- IPT and V-IRIS do not currently support redundant IP addresses. Therefore even if you connect each port to a different network, you will need to manually change IP addresses to switch from one to the other.
CAUTION
It is strongly recommended you only use one lan port at a time.
