# Video Group Configuration Mode

The Video Group Configuration Mode is used to add CAEs to a CAE group and configure the CAEs for load balancing and health-check monitoring. The CAE (Content Adaptation Engine) is an optional component of the Mobile Videoscape. For additional information, refer to the Mobile Video Gateway Administration Guide.

IMPORTANT:

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).

keepalive-server

Specifies keep-alive messaging information for Content Adaptation Engine (CAE) health-check monitoring, which is part of CAE load balancing on the Mobile Video Gateway. Note that this command and its options configure settings that apply to all CAEs in the CAE group, not to an individual CAE.

Syntax

    [ default ] keepalive-server deadtime seconds interval seconds num-retry num-retries port port_number timeout seconds [ -noconfirm ]

default keepalive-server

Sets the CAE keep-alive settings to their default values.
keepalive-server deadtime seconds interval seconds num-retry num-retries port port_number timeout seconds [ -noconfirm ]

Specifies keep-alive messaging information for CAE health-check monitoring.
deadtime seconds

Specifies the periodic retry interval (in seconds) after a CAE is detected down. seconds is an integer from 1 through 1800. The default value is 120 seconds.
interval seconds

Specifies the interval (in seconds) for how often the Mobile Video Gateway sends a keep-alive message to the CAEs. seconds is an integer from 0 through 120. The default value is 10 seconds. A value of 0 turns off keep-alive detection and marks the state of all CAEs to Up.
num-retry num_retries

Specifies the number of keepalive retries after a CAE does not respond. num_retries is an integer from 1 through 20. The default value is 3 retries.
port port_number

Specifies the TCP port number for health-check monitoring, which is an integer from 1 through 65535. The default value is 5100.
timeout seconds

Specifies the keep-alive timeout (in seconds) which is an integer from 1 through 30. The default value is 3 seconds.
-noconfirm

Specifies that the command must execute without prompting for confirmation.
Usage:

Use this command to specify keep-alive messaging information for CAE health-check monitoring, which is part of CAE load balancing on the Mobile Video Gateway.
Example:
The following command specifies keep-alive messaging information for the CAEs in the CAE group:

    keepalive-server deadtime
    120 interval 10 num-retry 3 port 5100 timeout 3

local-address

Specifies the local IPv4 address on the Mobile Video Gateway for the keepalive TCP connection used for Content Adaptation Engine (CAE) load balancing.

Syntax

    [ no ] local-address IPv4_address [ -noconfirm ]

no local-address IPv4_address

Deletes the local IPv4 address if previously specified.
local-address IPv4_address

Specifies the local IPv4 address on the Mobile Video Gateway for the keep-live TCP connection used for CAE load balancing. IPv4_address must be in dotted decimal notation.
-noconfirm

Specifies that the command must execute without prompting for confirmation.
Usage:

Use this command to specify the local IPv4 address on the Mobile Video Gateway, in dotted-decimal notation.
Example:
The following command specifies the local IPv4 address on the Mobile Video Gateway:

    local-address 10.2.3.4

server

Adds a CAE (Content Adaptation Engine) and its IPv4 address and port number to the associated CAE group. The Mobile Video Gateway uses this information for CAE load balancing. The Mobile Video Gateway has a system limit of 64 CAEs.

    [ no ] server cae_name address IPv4_address port port_number [ -noconfirm ]

no server cae_name

Deletes the CAE from the CAE group if previously configured.
server cae_name address IPv4_address port port_number

Adds a CAE and its IPv4 address and port number to the associated CAE group. cae_name is an alphanumeric string of 1 through 15 characters. IPv4_address must be in dotted-decimal notation. port_number is an integer from 1 through 5535. The default value is 80.
-noconfirm

Specifies that the command must execute without prompting for confirmation.
Usage:

Use this command to add a CAE and its IPv4 address and port number to the associated CAE group.
Example:
The following command adds a CAE named cae_1 and its IPv4 address and port number to the associated CAE group:

    server cae_1
    address 10.2.3.4 port 80
