I am looking for a Best Practices Guide or basic set of instructions on how to properly setup Milestone servers using multiple NIC Cards to separate camera traffic from outgoing client requests . Any suggestions? Cant find anything on their website...Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Sep 05, 2018Essentially you can have one NIC with the camera IP addressing structure and the other with the Corporate/Client IP addressing structure. Should be all you have to do. Depending on the number of cameras you have this can make a huge difference.

Sep 05, 2018Shannon is correct. Within our software there isn't anything that gets setup. If you want to isolate the camera traffic from the client traffic, at the base level you could just use two different subnets for the camera and client networks (e.g., camera addresses could be 10.x.x.x / 255.0.0.0 and clients could be 172.16.x.x / 255.255.0.0). You could take it a step version and have completely separate VLANs which will isolate even more or take it one step beyond that and have completely separate switches.
Doing VLANs or completely separate switches would be general best practices for separating subnets anyways.
