The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The table-based video is a local session management that provisions using CLI. The statically allocated local video sessions can be either unicast or multicast video stream.
Table-based video session configuration can be performed for a range or an individual session under each Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) carrier that is being assigned to a table-based Logical Edge Device (LED). In cBR-8, you can create multiple LEDs for table-based video sessions; each LED manages one set of QAM carriers for table-based sessions. Table-based sessions can be configured as a pass-through, remap, or a data piping session.
To configure the encryption type for a VOD session, perform the following steps:
enable
configure terminal
cable video
table-based
vcg vcg-name
rf-channel n-m
session sess-name input-port id start-udp-port udp port number num-sessions-per-qam 1-80 processing-type remap start-program n jitter 10-200 msec [cbr | vbr]
exit
The following is a sample in which two sessions are created per RF channel, HBO-1 and HBO-2 are for channel 0, HBO-3 and HBO-4 are for channel 1. The destination IP address is obtained from VCG (if any), otherwise from the LED broadcast.

Virtual Edge Input Bundling assists with load balancing from the Head End. This allows multiple VEIs to be accessed via a gateway, since it is unknown at the time of configuration which VEI the stream will come in on. Thus, when the Head End sends a stream to the gateway, it enters the cBR-8 in on any VEI in the bundle. VEI bundling can be performed only if table based protocol is used for a particular LED.
To bundle the VEIs, perform the following steps:
Before You Begin

Starting from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1, 10-6 UDP port mapping feature is supported in the table-based configuration for VOD.
To be consistent and compatible with the existing configuration, this feature adds a 10-6 UDP port mapping method to identify that this LED supports the feature, and change UDP port number to an optional parameter in the table-based session configuration.
If table-based session is not configured and 10-6 UPD port mapping is enabled for the LED, then the system generates remap sessions configuration only. If table-based session is configured, user has the option to skip providing UDP port number if he/she wants the udp port number to be automatically generated by the system.
In order to fit the output port number and program number in a 16-bit value to represent an UDP port number per VOD session, output port number must be configured in the range of 1 to 1024, and program number must be configured in the range of 1 to 63 per QAM channel. Due to this limitation, the configuration must follow this guideline, otherwise the UDP port mapping for table-based configuration will be rejected.
UDP port mapping feature supports remap sessions configuration for table-based protocol LED only.
To configure the 10-6 UDP port mapping, perform the following steps:
cable video
logical-edge-device name[id id ]
protocol table-based
udp-port-mapping-method 10-6
If 10-6 mapping is used and no unicast remap session is configured for the VCG, table-based unicast remap sessions will be automatically created for each VCG with default setting and using the first input port configured on the VCG if any, otherwise it will use the input port from the LED. User doesn’t need to explicitly provision the sessions.
To verify if the 10-6 UDP port mapping is enabled, use show cable video logical-edge-device command as shown in the following example:
Router# show cable video logical-edge-device id 1
Logical Edge Device: LED_DVB
Id: 1
Protocol: Table-based
Service State: Active
Discovery State: Disable
10-6 UDP Port Mapping Enabled: Yes
Number of Virtual Carrier Groups: 3
Number of Share Virtual Edge Input: 3
Number of Physical Qams: 384
Number of Sessions: 0
