Specify the subnets required
Specify the subnets required
Use the following rules to determine the subnets required for your network.
1. Specify a unique subnet for the Fibre Channel network as follows:
• Specify a subnet for each Profile XP to UIM-DIS-GEIP point-to-point
connection, that is, when a single cable is used as shown on the left side of the
diagram below.
• Specify a subnet for the Fibre Channel switch fabric when switches are used to
connect the Profile system to the UIM-DIS-GEIP as shown on the right side of
the diagram below.
NOTE: Profile PDR series products do not support the point-to-point connection.
2. Specify a subnet for the 1000BaseT Ethernet LAN (for streaming).
3. Specify a subnet for the Profile command and control Ethernet LAN.
The following diagrams illustrate these subnet requirements. Use these examples as a
models for specifying the subnets required for your system.
The following diagram illustrates the subnets required. The diagrams also show two
ways of making the Profile to UIM-DIS-GEIP connection using either a point to point
connection (single cable), or a Fibre Channel switch. Note that Profile systems and
their UIMs have unique subnets for their point to point Fibre Channel connections. As
shown, XP1 and XP2 and their corresponding UIMs have unique Fibre Channel IP
subnets, 192.168.201.xx and 192.168.202.xx. When a switch is used to make the
Fibre Channel connection, one subnet may be used. As shown, XP3 and XP4 and their
corresponding UIMs use the same Fibre Channel IP subnet, 192.168.203.xx.

With this connection, only one
subnet is required for the Profile XP
command and control Ethernet network.
