Enabling Media Flow Controller CMC Client Rendezvous (CLI)

Media Flow Controller has the ability to be managed by a Media Flow Manager Central
Management Console (CMC), which makes the Media Flow Controller a client of the CMC.
CMC allows you to manage Media Flow Controllers remotely, configure profiles (lists of CLI
commands) that can be pushed to individual appliances, and create groups of Media Flow
Controllers that can be managed as a unit. The rendezvous feature is a mechanism by which
properly configured Media Flow Controllers can find a Media Flow Manager and request
management. For rendezvous to work, it must be configured on the client (the Media Flow
Controller) and on the CMC server (the Media Flow Manager).
Before you configure Media Flow Controller CMC client rendezvous, see
Configure Media Flow Controller" on page
To enable CMC client rendezvous:
1. Enter the address of the CMC server that will manage this Media Flow Controller:
cmc rendezvous client server-addr <hostname_or_IP_address>
2. (Optional) Set an existing authentication method for client-server rendezvous or set a
password; to have the client prompted for the password, do not enter a password after the
password password keywords:
cmc rendezvous client auth <auth_type>
cmc rendezvous client auth password password [<password>]
3. Enable automatic rendezvous for the client:
cmc rendezvous client auto
4. (Optional) Set an initial retry delay in case you do not want the Media Flow Controller to
attempt rendezvous immediately:
To change the default initial retry delay (first time, or after a boot or a disconnect) from 30
seconds:
cmc rendezvous client auto initial-delay <seconds>
5. (Optional) Set rendezvous intervals:
To change the default interval-long (after a sucessful rendezvous, in case the server has
lost the information) from 86400 seconds (one day):
cmc rendezvous client auto interval-long <seconds>
To change the default interval-short (after an unsucessful rendezvous) from 300 seconds
(five minutes):
cmc rendezvous client auto interval-short <seconds>
6. To force a rendezvous attempt:
cmc rendezvous client force
7. To verify CMC settings for this Media Flow Controller and to check rendezvous status:
show cmc
show cmc rendezvous
8. All Media Flow Controllers are enabled for CMC management by default. To disable this
and ensure that this Media Flow Controller cannot be managed by CMC:
no cmc client enable
