Configuring Dual Network Support

If your facility has both a GigE network and an InfiniBand network, you can configure Wiretap to use the high-bandwidth network for moving media, greatly improving network performance and increasing reliability. The behaviour is transparent to end-users.

The configuration is in the Wiretap configuration file /usr/discreet/sw/cfg/wiretapd.cfg.

[Server]
IP0=10.10.11.213
IP1=192.168.129.3

The IP address of the InfiniBand network must be first in the list, at IP0.

Restart the Wiretap server for your changes to take effect: /usr/discreet/sw/sw_restart.
