Design concepts and disclaimersThere are many design options for a Genetec Security Center implementation including Federations, Auxiliary Servers, and multicast considerations. Releases validatedThe following tables list the firmware builds and software releases used for our tests. Connecting the VxRail and PowerScale nodesThe VxRail nodes and PowerScale nodes are not connected internally and must be integrated through external switches. Each node should be connected to 2 physical switches to ensure redundancy and avoid a single point of failure. Connecting the VxRail V670F nodesConnect the VxRail V670F nodes to the network starting with ports 1 and 2 on the switch. Add additional management nodes using open ports in ascending order (left to right) on the switch, as shown in the following figure. Connecting the PowerScale nodesConnect the PowerScale nodes to the network, starting with node 1 and ports 1 and 2 on the external and internal switches .
