The Ethernet switch is an air gapped Netgear AV M4350-24M4X4V switch for camera, switcher, router control and video to move to and from the NVR for Instant Replay and whatever else can be dreamed up. Right now, all ports are set to VLAN20. 20 is an arbitrary number and could be anything. The profile set to VLAN 20 is Data. DHCP addresses are handed out to 192.168.1.50-238. Static IPs are .2-.49.
To setup the switch, directly plug your laptop into one of the open ports and you should get a 192.168.1.?? address in the DHCP range. Then type in 192.168.1.239. User name and password are in UT stache under “Netgear M4350 Mobile Switcher Switch”.
If that doesn’t work - plug directly into the OOB port and set your computer NIC to a 192.168.0.?? range. Then go to 192.168.0.239.
If that doesn’t work - plug into the USB-C port. Use PuTTY. And Reset the Switch with a new password…this is well documented on the web, but here are instructions (add link to instructions and make instructions.)
The first 24 ports are 2.5Gb, 25-28 are 10Gb, and the last SFPs with nothing (No Gbics) in them are 25Gb.
All DVRs, blackmagic gear, and laptops besides the NVR (Cloudstore) should be in the first 24 ports bc they are all 1Gb and 2.5Gb (in the case of the laptops). The NVR should be in one of the 25-28 ports to support its 10Gb speeds. If you hover over the ports in the ethernet switch it will show you the connection speed…useful for troubleshooting.
For a high-performance instant replay setup involving a Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini, 6 HyperDeck HDs, and a DaVinci Resolve replay workstation, the best profile to use on a Netgear M4350 switch is the Data profile.
Why the Data Profile is Best
Unlike traditional AV-over-IP architectures (such as NDI or SMPTE ST 2110) which rely heavily on multicast traffic, Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve Replay workflow is strictly storage-centric. The HyperDecks mount the Cloud Store Mini over the network and write continuous, high-bitrate video streams using standard unicast file protocols like SMB/NFS. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Configuring the switch ports with the Data profile optimizes this workflow by providing several key adjustments:
Disables IGMP Snooping: The Data profile explicitly strips away IGMP multicast tracking, which is unnecessary for standard network storage and can cause unwanted CPU overhead on the switch during intense write actions. [1]
Removes Storm Control & Strict CoS Queueing: It prevents the switch from misinterpreting high-volume, continuous unicast recording streams as a network packet storm, ensuring your ProRes or H.264 streams never get throttled or dropped mid-game. [1, 2]
Enables Jumbo Frames: It ensures large file packet sizes (typical of network-attached storage environments) flow smoothly with the lowest possible latency.
