Chapter 2: Installation 11
Setting up your network
The DSR switching system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the server
running the DSAuth application, the DSR switch appliances and the computers
running DSView software. The DSR1021 switch supports both Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and static IP addressing. Avocent recommends
that IP addresses be reserved for each appliance and that they remain static
while the DSR switch appliances are connected to the network. For additional
information on how the DSR switch uses the TCP protocol, see Appendix B of
the DSView Installer/User Guide. Figure 2.1 shows the DSR1021 switch in a
network configuration.
