Establishing a Session

After you have configured the Cisco SM-SRE module interfaces (see Configuring Host Router and Cisco SM-SRE Module Interfaces), establish a session with the module to configure the Cisco Video Management and Storage System. This section describes how to enter and exit the command environment and open a session with the module.

Entering and Exiting the Command Environment

Opening and Closing a Cisco SM-SRE Module Session

Entering and Exiting the Command Environment

The Cisco Video Management and Storage System user EXEC, privileged EXEC, and configuration command modes are similar to those used by Cisco IOS CLI commands. The description for each command in this section indicates the command mode.

This section provides the procedures for entering and exiting the command environment, It also provides procedures for establishing a session with the Cisco Video Management and Storage System that is running on the Cisco SM-SRE module, where configuration commands are executed.

Entering the Command Environment

Example:
Router> service-module sm 1/0 session
cvmss-10-0-0-0> 

Enter the Cisco SM-SRE module command environment from the host router, using the module slot and port numbers. The router prompt changes to the service module prompt.

Note If the message
"Trying ip-address slot/port ..."
Connection refused by remote host
appears, enter the command service-module sm slot/port session clear and repeat Step 4.

Step 5 

enable
Example:

cvmss-10-0-0-0> enable

cvmss-10-0-0-0#

(Optional) Enters Cisco Video Management and Storage System application's privileged EXEC mode. You can now begin configuring the Cisco Video Management and Storage System.

Exiting the Command Environment

To leave the Cisco Video Management and Storage System command environment and return to the Cisco IOS router command environment, enter the exit command twice, or enter Alt-Ctrl-6 and x.

The following example shows the exit procedure:

cvmss-10-0-0-0# exit
cvmss-10-0-0-0> exit
Router# 

or


cvmss-10-0-0-0# Alt-Ctrl-6, x

Opening and Closing a Cisco SM-SRE Module Session

This section describes how to open and close a session on the Cisco SM-SRE module, on which the Cisco Video Management and Storage System is running. To configure the Cisco Video Management and Storage System using configuration commands, you must first open a session with the module, use the appropriate configuration commands, and then close the session. For a summary and description of the Cisco Video Management and Storage System configuration commands, see Administering the Cisco Video Management and Storage System Module.

The boot helper is a small subset of the system software that runs on the module. It is used in the following example. It boots the module from the network and assists in software installation and upgrades, disaster recovery, and other operations when the module cannot access its software.


NoteYou can conduct only one module session at any one time.

Steps 1 and 2 open the host-router CLI and access the Cisco SM-SRE module. The remaining steps open a session with the module, configure the boot helper example, and clears the module session, returning you to the host-router Cisco IOS software CLI.


SUMMARY STEPS

From the Host-Router CLI

1. enable

2. service-module sm slot/0 status

3. service-module sm slot/0 session

From the Service-Module Interface

4. Use Cisco SR-SME module configuration commands. In this example, the boot loader.

5. Control-Shift-6 x
or
exit

From the Host-Router CLI

6. service-module sm slot/0 session clear

DETAILED STEPS

From the Host-Router CLI

Step 1 

enable

<password>

Example:

Router> enable

Router> <password>

Router#

Enters privileged EXEC mode on the host router. If prompted, enter your password.

Step 2 

service-module sm slot/0 status

Example:

Router# service-module sm 2/0 status

Displays the status of the module, so that you can ensure that the module is running (that is, the module is in a steady state).

Note If the module is not running, start it with one of the startup commands listed in the "Common Cisco IOS Software and Cisco SM-SRE Commands" section.

Step 3 

service-module sm slot/0 session

Example:

Router# service-module sm 1/0 session


Trying 10.10.10.1, 2065 ... Open

Begins a module session on the specified module. Do one of the following:

To interrupt the auto-boot sequence and access the boot loader, quickly type ***.

or

Example (configuration):

cvmss-module> configure terminal

cvmss-module(config)>

.

.

.

cvmss-module(config)> exit

cvmss-module> write

Enters boot loader or configuration commands on the module as needed.

Boot loader command choices include boot, config, exit, help, ping, reboot, show, and verify.

or

Configuration command choices are similar to the Cisco IOS commands that are available on the host router. To access global configuration mode, use the configure terminal command. Enter the appropriate configuration commands to set application parameters. Then exit global configuration mode by using the exit command. Save your new configuration by using the write command.

Note You do not need to use the enable command and the prompt does not change from >.

Step 5 

Example (boot loader):

Press Control-Shift-6 x

or

exit

Example (Configuration):

cvmss-module(config)> exit

cvmss-module> exit

Closes the module session and returns to the router's Cisco IOS CLI.

Note The module session stays up until you clear it in Step 6. While the session remains operational, you can return to it from the router's Cisco IOS CLI by pressing Enter.

 
From the Host-Router CLI

Step 6 

service-module sm slot/0 session clear

Example:

Router# service-module sm 1/0 session clear

Clears the module session for the specified module. When prompted to confirm this command, press Enter.

Common Cisco IOS Software and Cisco SM-SRE Commands

cvmss-module>


Adding a DNS Server (Optional)

Cisco Video Management and Storage System uses a cache-only Domain Name System (DNS) server that listens on port 53 for both User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets. A typical use for such a server is to enable the application to continue operation in a branch office when the WAN is down and the server is on the other side of the WAN in an enterprise or service-provider data center.

The DNS server cache policy is to automatically revaluate a cached entry when its time to live (TTL) expires and to discard an entry only when the parent DNS server is accessible and no longer contains the name. This differs from most DNS caches, which simply discard an entry when the TTL expires.
