Example of Level 2R names and IP addresses
Setting up host tables
The hosts file is used by the control network and the streaming/FTP network to
determine the IP address of devices on the network when only a the device name
(hostname) is given. The steps that follow describe how to edit the hosts file located
at C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows XP and Windows 2003
Server operating system computers. If you include the names and addresses of all the
devices on the network, then you can copy the same file onto all the other K2 devices
instead of editing the hosts file on each K2 device.
For FTP transfers on a K2 Storage System, transfers go to/from K2 Media Servers that
have the role of FTP server. No transfers go directly to/from the external storage K2
Media Clients that are on the K2 Storage System. So in the hosts file, you must add
the “he_0” extension to a K2 Media Server hostname and associate that hostname
with the K2 Media Server’s FTP/streaming network IP address.
Refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide for more information.

This IP address must resolve to hostname root_server_1_he0
192.168.100.11 192.168.99.11 These two
servers are a
redundant pair.

root_raid_1 RAID — 192.168.100.51 — Both
controllers
share the same
IP address.

root_client_1 iSCSI client — 192.168.100.111 192.168.99.111 For the control
network, one
IP address is
shared between
the two teamed
ports. For
media
networks,
subnet 99 is the
“A” network
and subnet 98
is the “B”
network.
