Server Level Configuration
Server Level Configuration
After a server has been initially configured (see the “Initially Configuring the Devices” section on
page 3-1), the CDSM detects it and the IP address or nickname of the server is available for selection in
the server drop-down lists.
The Server Level tab has the following configuration options:
• Configuring the Interfaces
• Configuring the Servers
• Configuring the Route Table
• Configuring the SNMP Agent
• Configuring the Server Level DNS
• Configuring the Server Level NTP
• Configuring the Server Level Logging
• Configuring the Server Level Syslog
• Configuring Server Level Error Repair
Configuring the Interfaces
The Interface Setup page is used to configure the different interfaces on the CDS servers. The
functionality of the Ethernet interfaces on the CDS servers is configurable. However, there is an optimal
configuration for each server. The interface functions are described in Table 4-36.

Type Description
General Reserves an Ethernet interface to allow optimal configuration.
Management Communicates with other network devices with regards to condition of the server,
stream control, and ISA communications.
Ingest Establishes connectivity with a content provider system and to ingest content on to a
Vault or an ISV.
Cache Transports content between Vaults and Streamers, or in the case of VVI, between
Vaults, Caching Nodes, and Streamers.
Stream/Cache Used on the Streamer for both cache and streaming traffic. If an interface is configured
for both cache and streaming traffic on a Streamer, priority with be given to the
higher-bandwidth stream traffic provided cache traffic is able to transmit on other
interfaces.
Stream Transports streams to the QAM devices, or to subnets in the case of IPTV.
