Two NIC configurations

In a two NIC configuration, you use two network interfaces for connectivity to two separate network segments.

In a dual NIC configuration, you use one network segment for the AE Services Server and Communication Manager and another network segment for client and media connectivity, that is LAN, VLAN, or WAN. The NICs must be on separate network segments. In a dual NIC configuration, the client segment is referred to as the production network, and the Communication Manager segment is referred to as the private network segment.

AE Services supports using two NIC configurations for S8400, S8500c, S8700 Communication Manager media servers.

The second NIC can also be used for out of band management if network separation between Communication Manager and AE Services Server client applications.

Three NIC configurations

A third NIC can be configured of out of band management, if the first two NICs are used for non management related traffic, as described above.
