I have cisco UBR-MC88V cable interface line cards and I need to perform up to 16 ds bonding channels, I've read that with the MC88V this is not possible(the maximum is 8DS bonding channels). I'm searching hardware to achieve this. Someone knows if it is possible with mc20x20?, And which other hardware do you recommend to do it?
I think with MC20X20 is possible but I don't find information about configuration with 16 DS bonding channels.
Thanks in advance.
The problem with MC 20x20 cards and MC88V Cards is that you can't bond channels on different cards together.
So while with the MC20x20 cards you would be able to make 1 16ds bonding group the other 4ds could only be used for a 4 ds bonding group.
The cisco card that your looking for is UBR-MC3GX60V which goes into a Ubr10k. Be aware though that this is not an integrated docsis 3.0 card like the MC88V or MC20x20 it is a modular card, so you will need a timing server and edge qams in addition to this card.
Thanks for your answer kwesibrunee
If the MC20X20 is able to bond 16 DS channels, it is enough for my architecture. Additionally, Do you know if the following configuration is possible on the same MC20X20V card?:
1 bonding group with 16 ds channels (annex b)
1 bonding group with 4 ds channels (annex a)
Thanks in advance.
It isn't.
MC20x20 can work only Annex A or Annex B.
