Grass Valley SiteConfig v.2.1 - Manual (Page 23)

The SiteConfig tree view of some networks defined at different sites within the tree view appears
as follows:
The interpretation of this hierarchy is as follows:
• All devices that are under SITEA or SITEB connect to the networks defined at those sites
(NetworkA and NetworkB respectively) and to the network "NetworkRoot" defined at their
parent - System.
• All devices under SITEC connect to NetworkC and NetworkRoot only - not to networks defined
under SITEA or SITEB.
• When you edit the network interface IP addresses on devices, the network options presented will
be limited to the networks that are "in scope".
When creating sites and networks, consider the following:
• Put your control network in the top level site since there is likely just one control network for
the entire system. Then when you add child sites, only add other networks that are intended for
devices within that site. An example of this is a storage networking network for a K2 SAN.
• Create peer sites to isolate networks from one another. For example, on mirrored storage SANs
the storage networking networks are typically isolated.
