Re: AreaDetector: Prosilica camera on different subnet?

[Robert Petkus <rpetkus@bnl.gov>]

If the both the IOC and camera allow a default gateway to be configured, 
you can keep them on separate subnets and simply use a router.  The 
router can be either a server or a multi-layer switch with an interface 
on each of the subnets.  The router interface addresses will be the 
gateway addresses configured on the IOC and camera.  From there one 
could create policies to allow only traffic from the (2) devices to span 
subnets if there are security concerns.
