In Cisco VQE Release 3.5.4 and earlier releases the following data rules apply:
-
Each row representing a VQE-S or VCDS server must use SERVER as its label.
-
Each row representing a remote server must use SCP as its label.

Starting from the Cisco VQE Release 3.5.5 the following data rules apply:
-
Each row representing a VQE-S or VCDS server must use SERVER as its label.

– CHANNEL—Provided for backward compatibility with Cisco VQE Release 3.5.4 and earlier releases.
The following data rule is common to all VQE 3.5 and later releases:
-
Only one label should be provided for each channel.

Note A channel may be defined with a source IP address of 0.0.0.0 for the Original Stream. When the channel Source IP address is 0.0.0.0 for the original stream, the SDP entry for this channel does not include the source-filter line in the original stream section that would be used to perform a SSM join. In this case, the VQE-S and VQE-C does not perform an SSM join.
