Table Based
Configuration
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.

Information About Table Based Configuration
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.
Configuring Table Based 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
Configuration Example
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.
Router(config)#cable video Router(config-video)#table-based Router(config-video-tb)#vcg bcast Router(config-video-tb-vcg)#rf-channel 0-1 Router(config-video-tb-vcg-sess)# session HBO input-port 10 start-udp-port 1 num-sessions-per-qam 2 processing-type remap start-program 1 jitter 100 cbr Router(config-video-tb-vcg-sess)# session HBO bundle-id 1 start-udp-port 49152 num-sessions-per-qam 2 processing-type program start-program 1 jitter 100 cbr
Virtual Edge Input Bundling
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
- All video sessions must have unique UDP ports for the Head End.
- Create two or more Virtual Edge Inputs using the following command:
virtual-edge-input-ip ipaddr vrf vrfname input-port-number #
![]() Note | Same IP address cannot be used in more than one bundle. |
enable configure terminal cable video logical-edge-device protocol table-based vei-bundle id input-port-number # exit
Verifying Virtual Edge Input Data
To verify the VEI data, use the following command:
Router# show cable video logical-edge-device [all | id | name]
Example:
Router# show cable video logical-edge-device id 1 Logical Edge Device: led-vei Id: 1 Protocol: Table-based Service State: Active Discovery State: Disable Number of Virtual Carrier Groups: 1 Number of Share Virtual Edge Input: 5 Number of Physical Qams: 5 Number of Sessions: 0 No Reserve PID Range Virtual Edge Input: Input Port VEI Slot/Bay Bundle Gateway ID IP ID IP ----------------------------------------------------------------- 11 11.11.11.11 7/0 - - 22 22.22.22.22 7/0 - - 66 66.66.66.66 7/0 40000 177.0.10.3 77 77.77.77.77 7/0 40000 177.0.10.3 222 222.222.222.222 7/0 40000 177.0.10.3 Virtual Carrier Group: ID Name Total Total Service-Distribution-Group Service-Distribution-Group VEI RF-channel Name ID -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 vcg-vei 5 5 sdg-vei 1 Integrated Physical Admin Operational TSID ONID Output VCG SDG Encryption Cable QAM ID State State Port ID ID Capable --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7/0/3:0 208 ON UP 0 0 1 1 1 clear 7/0/3:1 209 ON UP 1 0 2 1 1 clear 7/0/3:2 210 ON UP 2 0 3 1 1 clear 7/0/3:3 211 ON UP 3 0 4 1 1 clear 7/0/3:4 212 ON UP 4 0 5 1 1 clear
Verifying VEI Bundles
To view the VEI bundles, use the following command:
Router# show cable video vei-bundle all
Example:
This is a sample output of the show command that displays the VEI bundle details.
Router# show cable video vei-bundle all Total VEI Bundles: 1 Bundle LED Input Port VEI Slot/Bay Gateway ID ID ID IP IP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 40000 1 33 33.33.33.33 7/0 177.0.10.3 40000 1 44 44.44.44.44 7/0 177.0.10.3 40000 1 66 66.66.66.66 7/0 177.0.10.3 40000 1 77 77.77.77.77 7/0 177.0.10.3 40000 1 222 222.222.222.222 7/0 177.0.10.3
