Configuring a Second System Director
91
Configuring a Second System Director
Adding a second System Director provides System Director Resiliency.
Setting IP Addresses for Crossover Link
Avid provides default System Director IP addresses for System Director Resiliency. If you use
different addresses, be sure to note them and have them available before proceeding. The
Network Configuration Tool provides a section for setting the IP address when configuring Dual
System Directors. Dual System Directors use the 1 Gb Intel Pro ports (2 and 5) for the System
Director crossover connection, and the 10 Gb port is for the switch.
To configure the Ethernet port on your System Director:
1. Install the System Director software as you would for multiple Engine 10 Gb connection;
see
“Loading the Software” on page 67.
2. Use the multiple Engine 10 Gb selection in the Network Configuration Tool to configure the
1 Gb connections between the two System Directors.
The Network Configuration Tool displays the supported 1 Gb Intel Pro ports (2 and 5) and
the 10 Gb port.

The System Director Resiliency IP addresses are used when configuring a second System
Director for System Director Resiliency.
