Both host options use the same switch VLAN configuration. Divide the 20 cameras into two groups of 10, each on a separate VLAN with a dedicated 100GbE uplink to one physical host port. Both host ports connect to the same switch.
VLAN isolation is required in this reference configuration to prevent duplicate camera discovery. Use the switch-port and IP assignments below for either host option. The Linux interface selection differs between platforms and is covered in the host configuration sections.
| VLAN | Cameras | Switch Ports | Physical Host Port | Host IP / Prefix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VLAN 10 | Cameras 1-10 | Ports 1-10, Uplink 25 | Port 1 | 172.16.10.1/24 |
| VLAN 20 | Cameras 11-20 | Ports 11-20, Uplink 26 | Port 2 | 172.16.20.1/24 |
