The Layer 2 Video Surveillance install script pre-configures configuration parameters for video surveillance solutions. With this script, a technician can quickly and easily deploy a typical video surveillance network that supports up to 2000 IP cameras, a recording solution, systems management, and viewing stations.
The install script uses best practices for converged solutions and provides redundant paths for all video traffic. The script configures the basic deployment of Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) and uses Layer 2 VSNs to enable full multicast capabilities between all IP subnets and VLANs.
The syntax of the install script command is run vms layer-2 switch <5-99> where the switch value (between 5 and 99) is a user-defined variable. The install script uses this switch value to configure the camera IP zone for the switch and to specify a unique SPB nickname, system-id, and IP source value.
The install script configures the following major parameters and populates the xx with the user-defined variable for the switch value:
IP Loopback Interface Address: 192.168.0.xx (Management IP address on the switch.)
IP-Source Address: 192.168.0.xx (IS-IS source IP address for the switch.)
VLAN ID: 200 (On hardware platforms that only have NNI links, there is no need to create a surveillance VLAN.)
System ID: 0011.0011.07xx (SPB system-id of switch)
Nickname: 0.07.xx (SPB Nickname for switch)
SPB Manual Area ID: 49.0001
Backbone VLAN IDs: 4051 and 4052 (with 4051 as Primary)
SPB Mulitcast: enabled
SFP and SFP+ ports: (Define all ports as NNI links.)
Note
The install script does not configure DHCP Relay parameters.
The install script requires that the switch be in the factory default state. The script prompts you to confirm this, but it does not check if you did so. The script continues running commands even if some of the commands in the script fail, and the failure of script commands is not evident by the script completion message.
The syntax of the install script command is: run vms layer-2 switch <5-99> [syntax]. The optional syntax parameter prints out all the commands run by the script onto the console. If you do not use the syntax parameter, you will not see an error message when a command fails to run.
Important
Use the syntax parameter to display all the commands run by the script and show any errors that the script encounters. This is the only way to ensure that all configurations are configured without error.
Upon successful completion of the install script, the switch configuration is saved with a filename based on the switch value used when the script was run. The switch primary boot config file flags are updated with the new filename.
For example, if you use 6 as the switch value, the command run vms layer–2 switch 6 results in a switch configuration filename of vms-layer2–switch-6.cfg.
