General Information and Issues
arrayid #
Specifies the array this server belongs to. The array ID is used in conjunction with the
StreamDestinationMap file located in the /arroyo/test directory to determine which play servers are
available for selection. This selection is based on the IP address or subnet of the destination of the packet.
The default value is 0.
remote site manager <ip address> for arrayid #
Specifies the IP address of a remote site manager for a specified array. The remote site manager has a
list of all the servers that it can connect to that are located at the same site (the servers are listed in the
RemoteServers list) on the remote site manager). When this server comes up, it contacts the remote site
manager and asks for a referral for a server that is in the specified array. The remote site manager returns
the IP address of a server from that array. This server sets up connections with all the referred remote
servers, and once every minute, checks to see if there are connections with all remote array servers. If
for some reason one is not available, this server contacts the remote site manager for another referral.
Note You m us t ad d the allow new L3 remote servers 1 directive to the setupfile for both this server
and the server that gets referred. If you do not add this directive, this server cannot establish a
connection with the referred remote server.
default source ip <ip in dot notation> tport <minportno> - <maxportno> cport <portno>
Used to affect source packets if no specific information is provided in the individual mandatory e1000
interface entries.
• ip—The default source IP address for an interface. This value is overridden by the mandatory e1000
interface entry. This IP address is not meaningful in a Layer 3 network. However, today it must have
a non-zero value for the other values to be looked at.
• tport—After a stream is started, a random port within the range specified is used as the source port
for transport/streaming packets of the stream (assuming no specific port was selected for tport in the
mandatory e1000 interface entries).
• cport—The source port to use for cache-fill packets (assuming no specific port was selected for
cport in the mandatory e1000 interface entries).
Note The default source IP is useful in a Layer 2 network. For Layer 3 networks, an IP address is
required for each interface, so the value in the default source IP is superseded by the individual
entries for the interfaces. However, the default source IP setting specifies other defaults
(transport port and cache port). If you would like to specify a range of transport ports, then the
default source IP could have a value of zero.
Note The default source IP can be used in conjunction with the mandatory e1000 interface entries. For
example, the default source IP can be used to specify a range for the source transport port.
However, the generation of a random port does not currently work on every stream start.
Therefore, it is best not use this option.
bms address <ip> <port>
The IP address and port of the backoffice.
