ENDURA CORE BLOCK
The Core Block is functionally responsible for Network layer 3 tasks, discovery, authentication, and security, and interconnects the A and B blocks
(refer to Figure 5).
The Core Block is summarized as follows:
• There is only one Core Block for each Endura network.
• The Core Block contains the SM5000 and the redundant SM5000, which provides authentication and security for Endura network.
• The Core Block is on its own VLAN.
• The Core Block includes the core layer 3 switch and any necessary subcore switches.

Live video streams flow from the encoder, and playback video streams flow from the NVR5100. Both streams flow through the Core Block to the
B Block (refer to Figure 6). The Core Block must be able to handle maximum anticipated system usage.
