4. Use existing network hardware, but isolate the CobraNet and/or control network

As described in the previous section, there are many advantages to integrating the Mongoose control

network with an existing network. Since the CobraNet and the control networks use Ethernet and

are compatible, it is also possible to integrate the control network and the CobraNet network.

Many IT departments, however, are justiﬁably hesitant to include CobraNet audio directly on their

data networks because of the required bandwidth of CobraNet’s beat packets and audio packets.

Because of the performance impact, we strongly discourage integrating the control data network

directly with the CobraNet network. e primary advantage of combining everything on the same

network is simpliﬁcation. You can use the same network equipment and can perform both data

and audio conﬁguration and management within the same network. e primary disadvantage is

the impact on network and device performance caused by the audio traﬃc.

If you are required to use the same network hardware for both the CobraNet and control

networks, use a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network). Using a VLAN, you can use the same physical

hardware, but isolate parts of the network from one another. To use this approach, the network

switch must support VLAN technology.
