The media port pool defines the IP addresses and port ranges to assign to media streams on an Ethernet interface. These ports are used by the ME media services (media anchoring, NAT, recording, etc.), which are configured in the (default-) session-config > media object.
Configures the media port pool on this interface, defining the available addresses and ports to use for media services. These are the services defined in the session config > media object. These ports can be used for media distribution, if the cluster object share-media-port property is set to true. Use the show media-ports-process-units command to view port limits and configuration for each processor. Use the port-limit object to define thresholds for active media port use.
You can configure the ME to use ports on the cxc processor. Do not configure media ports on ME ports (typically eth0 through eth3).

admin: Enables or disables the media port pool on this system interface.
Default: enabled
Values: enabled | disabled
Example: set admin disabled
base-port: Sets the base or starting port number to use for this port pool.
Default: 20000
Values: Min: 0 / Max: 65535
Example: set base-port 35000
count: Sets the total number of ports available for the media port pool.
A value of 0 implies the pool is empty an dis the equivalent of disabling the pool.
Default: 5000
Values: Min: 0 / Max: 65535
Example: set count 2000
idle-monitor: Enables or disabled the monitoring of idle ports by the ME. When ports are not in use, they should not receive traffic. When enabled, this property ensures that no traffic is sent to idle ports that are part of the media pool. If the system detects that an idle port is receiving traffic, the port is put into a quarantine list. An internal timer releases the port when traffic to the port stops for a period of seconds.
Default: enabled
Values: enabled | disabled
Example: set idle-monitor disabled
