• Typical Configuration Workflow, page 3-10

Initially Configuring the Devices

You must initially configure the Content Delivery Engines (CDEs) before they can participate in the CDS

network. The CDE that runs the Internet Streaming CDSM must be initialized first so that the CDEs

running the Service Engine (SE) and Service Router (SR) can register with it. For more information

about initially configuring the CDEs, see the Cisco Content Delivery Engine 100/200/300/400 Hardware

Installation Guide. See the “Related Publications” section on page xvi.

After you have initially configured your CDEs, you must activate the SEs and SRs and configure the

internal clocks by using the Internet Streaming CDSM. See the “Activating and Synchronizing the

Devices” section on page 3-3 for more information.

Logging In to the Internet Streaming CDSM

To log in to the Internet Streaming CDSM, do the following:

Step 1 Using your web browser, enter the IP address of your CDSM and port 8443.

For example, if the IP address of your CDSM is 192.168.0.236, enter:

https://192.168.0.236:8443

The Security Alert message is displayed.
