Global Video Configuration

You can perform some global configurations for provisioning the video services. These configurations have some default values. If you do not choose to change those values, the default values are used. The following sections describe the procedures for global configurations.

Contents

Configuring the Default ONID

By default, the system ONID is 0, which is commonly used in North America. If the default value of the ONID is used, the TSID must be unique. You can change the default ONID. If you change the ONID, the TSID-ONID pair must be unique. The ONID must be in the range of 0 to 65535.

cable video 
default-onid default onid number

Configuring the Default PSI interval

By default, the Program Specific Information (PSI) interval is 100 msec. You can change the default PSI interval. The PSI interval must be in the range of 40 to 1000.

cable video 
default-psi-intervaldefault-psi-interval msec

Configuring Video Session Timeouts

The default video session init timeout is 1000 msec, the idle session timeout is 250 msec, and the off session timeout is 60 seconds. You can change these default values. The following are the permissible ranges for the timeouts:

  • Init session timeout—100 to 60000

  • Idle session timeout —100 to 5000

  • Off session timeout —1 to 1800

Configure Video Interface IP

The Cisco cBR-8 can automatically configure IP addresses of line card video interfaces. The Cisco cBR-8 uses IP addresses from a pool of IP addresses that you provide.

Use the routing-interface-ip command to set the video interface IP address for each CLC in the Cisco cBR-8. If the subnet size is 2, the Cisco cBR-8 sets the video interface IP address starting at Slot 0 to the IP address you provide. For subnet sizes greater than 2, the Cisco cBR-8 adds 1 to the IP address you provide and sets it as the video interface IP address. Do not use subnet 255.255.255.255. The Cisco cBR-8 sets the IP address of each subsequent video interface by incrementing IP address by the subnet size.

For example, executing the command routing-interface-ip 192.0.2.0 255.255.255.252 secondary198.51.100.0 255.255.255.252 , configures the video interfaces as follows:

Video Interface Primary IP Address Secondary IP Address Subnet Mask Subnet Size
Video 0/0/0 192.0.2.1 198.51.100.1 255.255.255.252 4
Video 0/0/1 192.0.2.5 198.51.100.5 255.255.255.252 4
Video 1/0/0 192.0.2.9 198.51.100.9 255.255.255.252 4
Video 1/0/1 192.0.2.13 198.51.100.13 255.255.255.252 4
Video 2/0/0 192.0.2.17 198.51.100.17 255.255.255.252 4
Video 2/0/1 192.0.2.21 198.51.100.21 255.255.255.252 4
Video 3/0/0 192.0.2.25 198.51.100.25 255.255.255.252 4
Video 6/0/0 192.0.2.33 198.51.100.33 255.255.255.252 4
Video 7/0/0 192.0.2.41 198.51.100.41 255.255.255.252 4
Video 7/0/1 192.0.2.45 198.51.100.45 255.255.255.252 4
Video 8/0/0 192.0.2.49 198.51.100.49 255.255.255.252 4
Video 8/0/1 192.0.2.53 198.51.100.53 255.255.255.252 4
Video 9/0/0 192.0.2.57 198.51.100.57 255.255.255.252 4
Video 9/0/1 192.0.2.61 198.51.100.61 255.255.255.252 4

Note

  • Video interface IP configuration is optional. By default, the Cisco cBR-8 uses 10.100.x.x subnets for primary IP addresses and 10.101.x.x subnets for secondary IP addresses of video interfaces. Use the routing-interface-ip command only when the default configuration conflicts with the existing network.

  • Configure the video interface IP before configuring any other video-specific configurations like logical edge device and virtual service group configurations.

Configure Virtual Routing and Forwarding

From Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.1x, you can configure user-specific VRF to line card video interfaces. This configuration is to support video interfaces to participate in NX-GEN VPN.

Use the routing-interface-vrf command to configure user-specific VRF to line card video interfaces. 

configure terminal 
cable video 
routing-interface-vrf slot slot vrf-name vrf-name

Note

  • Virtual routing and forwarding configuration is optional. This configuration is not required in non-VPN deployments. By default the Cisco cBR-8 places all video interfaces in the VRF Mgmt-MPEG-video-intf.

  • Configure VRF separately for each line card.

  • Configure virtual routing and forwarding before configuring any other video-specific configurations like logical edge device and virtual service group configurations.
