The Subnet Matching feature helps DNA Enterprise customers better handle the traffic inside their corporate network and avoid inter-site data transfers.
Through the Streamroot Dashboard, you can create and update public IP and subnet IPs within a site. Sites are groups of users forming a mesh network that only exchange video data within itself. With well-defined sites, no video data will be transferred from one site to another ensuring that each sites upload bandwidth is not used, and that download bandwidth is only used to get content from the CDN for a small fraction of users.
Sites are composed of three values:
| Value | Description |
| Name | The name of the site. Must be unique. |
| Public IPs | Raw IP and CIDR formats are accepted. |
| Subnets | Private IPs. Only CIDR format is accepted. |

Enabling Subnet Matching
Properties are a way to fine-tune various parameters across all your Streamroot DNA integrations and can be accessed under the “Properties” section in the dashboard. See our documentation for more information on them.
A new property has been added for DNA Enterprise customers: Subnet matching. This will need to be toggled ON to add subnets to Streamroot.
Create Site
The streamroot dashboard allows you to add your sites through a CSV upload or by manually entering them through the Streamroot user interface.
Upload your CSV
The CSV upload function allows you to conveniently upload all your sites to Streamroot. The CSV must be in the following format:
name,publicip,subnet
For example,
name,publicip,subnet
Tokyo,"203.0.113.1,198.51.100.1",192.0.2.0/29
Rio,198.51.100.0/30,"192.0.2.1/29,203.0.113.2/32"
To upload your CSV:
1. Navigate to the Subnets page.
2. Click the 'Upload CSV' button on the top right corner of the page.
3. Select your file to upload.
4. Choose your method of upload.
- Add to site list will add the sites in the CSV to the existing list of sites already in Streamroot.
- Replace site list will completely remove any existing sites in Streamroot and replace it with the sites in the CSV.
5. Click Submit.
Manually through the dashboard user interface
If you do not have a CSV to upload, you can add your sites directly through the Streamroot user interface
1. Navigate to the Subnets page.
2. Click the 'Create' button on the top right corner of the page.
3. Enter the Name of your site, the public IPs, and the subnet IPs within the site.
4. Click 'Save' on the top right corner of the page.
Edit Site
Saved sites in Streamroot can be edited to reflect any changes you might have in your configurations. You can change the name of your site as well as add or remove any public IPs or subnet IPs.
To do this, click the edit icon for the site you would like to edit.
Export to CSV
If you need a complete list of all your sites and their respective public and subnet IPs, you can export them to a CSV with a click of a button. Once you click the 'Export to CSV' button, a CSV file will download to your browser.
Delete Site
Sites that are no longer in use to your company can be deleted. Deleting sites will permanently remove the sites from Streamroot and cannot be retrieved again. To ensure you don't lose your data, we recommend exporting your sites to CSV before deleting any sites.
