Load balance on MC88v line card

i have cisco UBR 7246 router having MC88v line card , Mc88v card having two physical Downstream port.

every physical DS port having four logical channel with different center fre.

now the problem i am facing is modems are not equally balance among the four logical channel of same DS.

so any one plz suggest to do load balance config on my Box.

Dear ,

I have done configuration as below , but its not work for me.

threshold load minimum 10
policy pure-ds-load
init-tech-list 1-4

Are you trying to load

Are you trying to load balance Docsis 1.x/2.0 modems or 3.0 modems or both? I will assume both.

The config you have will work for 1.x and 2.0 modems only but your missing a couple lines:
specifically the upstream line and the docsis-policy line
Here is the relevant config from mine

!Turn on docsis load balancing and enable rule 1 and docsis policy 100
cable load-balance docsis-enable
cable load-balance rule 1 enabled
cable load-balance docsis-policy 100 rule 1

! for Docsis 1.x/2.0 modems
! need both downstream and upstream lines so that it knows which
! downstreams and upstreams are part of the same mac-domain
cable load-balance docsis-group 101 index 82
downstream Integrated-Cable 1/0 rf-channel 0-3
upstream Cable1/0 2-3
method utilization
threshold load 70
policy pure-ds-load
docsis-policy 100

! For docsis 3.0 modems
cable load-balance docsis-group FN 5 MD Cable1/0
method utilization
threshold load 70
policy pure-ds-load
docsis-policy 100

! Fiber node needed for docsis 3.0 modems tells it which
! upstreams and downstreams are part of the same mac domain
cable fiber-node 5
downstream Integrated-Cable 1/0 rf-channel 0-3
upstream Cable 1 connector 2-3

Load balance config for Mc88v (UBR 7246)

Dear,

Thanks for prompt support , its working for me now with method modem count.

one more issue can we load balance between two physical downstream (or you can say load balance between 3/0 & 5/0 ).

if possible plz suggest.
