IP Video Provisioning
Several C4/c CMTS elements must be provisioned for the IP Video feature. Some of these are explained in greater detail in
other chapters, including Multicast Chapter and PacketCable Services and Voice Applications Chapter.
The following is a general list of what needs to be provisioned:
Multicast DSID-based Forwarding (MDF) must be configured for each cable-mac in use.
The MSO user’s IP video attribute definitions must be communicated to the C4/c CMTS via the video encoding
attribute mask. These definitions allow the C4/c CMTS to identify the downstream channels upon which it must collect
extra IP Video statistics.
Configure channels and bonding groups with attribute masks defined.
Configure QoS and service class attributes through defined Service Class Names (SCNs).
Configure multicast routing.
Note that the example CLI commands are shown with sample parameters or values. More information on the commands
and parameters are found in the Command Line Descriptions Chapter.
ASM Configuration
The following procedures provide details on how to provision and configure the IP Video feature. This is an example of how
to set up an IGMPv2 ASM configuration from start-to-finish. Note that IGMPv3 is also supported.
Note: A Rendezvous Point (RP) only applies to supporting PIM-SM for ASM only.
Configure MDF
To enable Multicast DSID-based Forwarding (MDF) for each cable-mac in use, enter the following commands:
configure interface cable-mac 1 shutdown
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable mcast-fwd-by-dsid
configure interface cable-mac 1 no shutdown
