Chapter 4 Configuring the CDS
Server Level Configuration
Note For all CDE servers, the optimal configuration is:
• eth0 as management
• eth1 as ingest on Vaults and ISVs
• All other interfaces are available for cache, stream, stream/cache, stream control, or locate as
appropriate for the server
To configure the interface settings, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Configure > Server Level > Interface Setup. The Interface Setup page is displayed
(Figure 4-48).
Step 2 From the Server IP drop-down list, choose the IP address or nickname of the server and click Display.
Stream Control Transmits control messages between the STBs and the Streamers. Designating an
interface as a stream control interface allows for the separation of stream control
traffic from stream traffic. For more information about stream control, see the
“Configuring the Control and Setup IPs” section on page 4-72. To configure a separate
route subnet for stream control traffic, see the “Configuring the Route Table” section
on page 4-118.
Locate Used on the Caching Nodes to communicate with HTTP Streamers. One interface on
the Caching Node must be set to Locate for HTTP Streamers. HTTP Streamers are
supported only in a Virtual Video Infrastructure (VVI).
The Locate interface and port are used by the Locate Port service for communications
with third-party streamers that use HTTP to communicate.
CCP Streamers do not use the Locate Port; instead, they load-balance locate requests
across fill sources. For more information on HTTP Streamers and CCP Streamers, see
the “Caching Node Workflow” section on page 2-10.
