Media Flow Controller Configuration Tasks (CLI)
Before You Configure Media Flow Controller
Media Flow Controller is a network appliance and the network parameters must be configured
first, as any network appliance. Before you begin, you will need to know:
•
Hostnames/IP addresses (including but not limited to, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway,
DNS servers, and NTP servers) for the Media Flow Controller traffic and management
ports (eth0 is default management port, eth1 is the recommended origin-fetch interface).
•
Hostnames/IP addresses for external servers such as origin servers/libraries, logging,
SNMP, SSH, or storage servers. In order to configure the (required) namespace, you must
know the uri-prefix (see
(fully qualified domain name) or IP address, at a minimum. This information tells Media
Flow Controller where to fetch media from and how to handle it.
•
Domain names for the Media Flow Controller to resolve unqualified hostnames.
•
The users you want to be able to administer or monitor Media Flow Controller, their email
addresses (for event email notifications), and the authentication / authorization schemes
you want to use; these schemes can be complicated and should be prepared by an
expert.
•
The query parameters that you use in URLs to pass information, if you expect to configure
a virtual player (not required). Many content delivery networks (CDNs) have proprietary
query params already defined.
•
The types of content that you serve and their optimal delivery rates, the protocols that you
use for delivery, and the general bandwidths of delivery connections that you want to
maintain.
