Software Defined Video-over-Ethernet

Software Defined Video-over-Ethernet (SDVoE) is a software-based AV-over-IP platform that provides solutions for point-to-point connectivity and Ethernet-based audio visual (AV) distribution. The technology and solution offer cost effective, flexible hardware and software platforms which can support many AV applications. SDVoE provides standardization and interoperability among the ecosystem partner products to enable great AV user experiences. RUCKUS ICX switches are certified to be part of this solution and allow efficient switching of AV multicast traffic.

In this section:

  1. SDVoE Configuration Options
  2. Configuring SDVoE using the multicast sdvoe Command
    The following task enables SDVoE in a network, as illustrated in the figure. Switch 1 and Switch 2 have manually configured edge ports and fast leave is enabled only on these ports. IGMP snooping is enabled in passive mode for Switch 1 and Switch 2. SDVoE is configured for multicast packets in the VLAN. No edge ports are configured for the Querier switch. IGMP snooping is enabled in active mode for the Querier switch so that queries are generated.
  3. Enabling SDVoE where Edge-ports are Automatically Created
    The following task enables SDVoE in a network, as illustrated in the figure. Edge ports are automatically configured for Switch 1 and Switch 2. Tracking for IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 is automatically enabled. Multicast passive, dynamic edge port and IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 client tracking is configured for Switch 1 and Switch 2. Multicast active, dynamic edge port and IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 client tracking is configured for the Querier switch.
  4. Configuration Notes and Feature Limitations
  5. Displaying SDVoE Information
