Task List

Note The Cisco Analog Video Gateway software is installed on the Cisco Analog Video Gateway module at the factory. Spare modules also ship with the software installed.

Table 1 lists procedures required for configuring a new installation of Cisco Analog Video Gateway module:

Table 1 Task List for Installing Cisco Analog Video Gateway Software on a New System

Checklist
Check Off

1. Configure the IP addressing between the module and the router. See the "Activating IP Connectivity to Cisco Analog Video Gateway Software" section.

2. Begin configuring the Cisco Analog Video Gateway software. See the Cisco Analog Video Gateway CLI Administrator Guide and the Cisco Analog Video Gateway XML API Guide for the configuration tasks. After configuring the Cisco Analog Video Gateway module, use the write command to save the newly changed running configuration.

Note The Cisco Analog Video Gateway XML API Guide describes the procedure for performing initial configuration tasks using the initialization wizard tool, which uses a graphical user interface (GUI).
If you want to use CLI commands to perform the configuration tasks covered by the initialization wizard (for example, if you want to use a configuration script), you can skip the initialization wizard by using the web skipinitwizard command in Cisco Analog Video Gateway EXEC mode. This command turns off the initialization wizard. You cannot turn it on or restart it unless you reimage the Cisco Analog Video Gateway module.


Activating IP Connectivity to Cisco Analog Video Gateway Software

After you install the Cisco Analog Video Gateway module, activate the IP communication link between the system and the Cisco Analog Video Gateway application.

Prerequisites

The following information is required for activating the software:

•Slot and unit numbers of the Cisco Analog Video Gateway module on the Cisco IOS router that hosts the Cisco Analog Video Gateway.

•IP address and subnet mask of the Cisco IOS router that hosts Cisco Analog Video Gateway or the unnumbered interface type and number.

•IP address of the Cisco Analog Video Gateway module. This IP address must be on the same subnet as the IP address of the Cisco IOS router that hosts the Cisco Analog Video Gateway module.

•IP address of the default gateway of the Cisco router. This IP address must be the same IP address as the Cisco IOS router that hosts the Cisco Analog Video Gateway.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. interface video-service-engine slot/unit

2. ip unnumbered if-type number

3. service-module ip address ip-address subnet-mask

4. service-module ip default-gateway gw-ipaddr

5. exit

6. ip route service-module-ip-address subnet-mask video-service-engine slot/unit

DETAILED STEPS

 
Command or Action
Purpose

Step 1  

interface video-service-engine slot/unit
Example: 
Router(config)# interface video-service-engine 2/0

Router(config-if)# 

Enters Cisco IOS interface configuration mode.

Step 2  

Router(config-if)# ip unnumbered if-type slot/unit
Example: 
Router(config-if)# ip unnumbered gigabitethernet 0/1

Specifies the interface IP unnumbered interface type and slot/unit numbers for the Cisco IOS router that hosts the Cisco Analog Video Gateway.

Step 3  

service-module ip address ip-address subnet-mask
Example: 
Router(config-if)# service-module ip address 
10.0.0.9 255.0.0.0

Specifies the IP address of the Cisco Analog Video Gateway module interface. This IP address must be on the same subnet as the IP address of the Cisco IOS router that hosts the Cisco Analog Video Gateway.

Step 4  

service-module ip default-gateway gw-ipaddr
Example: 
Router(config)# service-module ip default-gateway 
10.0.100.10

Specifies the IP address of the Cisco IOS router that hosts the Cisco Analog Video Gateway.

Step 5  

exit
Example:

Router(config-if)# exit

Router(config)# 

Exits Cisco IOS interface configuration mode.

Step 6 

ip route service-moudule-ip-address subnet-mask video-service-engine slot/unit

Example:

Router(config)# ip route 10.0.0.9 255.0.0.0 video-service-engine 2/0

Sets the IP route IP address and subnet mask of the Cisco Analog Video Gateway video network module.

Examples

The following example shows the IP connectivity activation procedure: 

Router(config)# interface video-service-engine 2/0

Router(config-if)# ip unnumbered gigabitethernet 0/1

Router(config-if)# service-module ip address 10.0.0.9 255.0.0.0

Router(config-if)# service-module ip default-gateway 10.0.100.10

Router(config-if)# exit

Router(config)# ip route 10.0.0.9 255.0.0.0 video-service-engine 2/0

The following example displays the output of the show running-config command: 

Router# show running-config interface v2/0


interface Video-Service-Engine2/0 
ip unnumbered GigabitEthernet0/1 
service-module ip address 10.0.0.9 255.0.0.0 
service-module ip default-gateway 10.0.100.10 
no keepalive 
! 
ip route 0.0.0.9 255.0.0.0 Video-Service-Engine2/0

What to Do Next

After you configure connectivity to the Cisco Analog Video Gateway module, run the initialization wizard to begin configuring the Cisco Analog Video Gateway database. See Cisco Analog Video Gateway XML API Guide.

Note If you want to use CLI commands to perform the configuration tasks covered by the initialization wizard (for example, if you want to use a configuration script), you can skip the initialization wizard by using the web skipinitwizard command in Cisco Analog Video Gateway EXEC mode. This command turns off the initialization wizard. You cannot turn it on or restart it unless you reimage the Cisco Analog Video Gateway module.
