What are other MSOs using for monitoring traffic on downstream service groups with channel bonding? We currently use Cacti but are looking at other solutions.
Monitoring the traffic requires aggregating each downstream channel when channel bonding which complicates the system setup.
I've recently purchased a small cable system - we are currently using IBBS BBX for provisioning. Since being purchased by Momentum Telecom, I'm not extremely happy with the level of service received. Also, they currently have our customer email accounts hosted on google apps for ISPs which is going away and will have to be migrated...I'm looking for a place to take those mailboxes..maybe my own server....
Hello. I am trying out my first CMTS solution. So my error may be trivial. I work with normal ethernet. All about CMTS and docsis and special dhcp configuration is new to me.
It is a Teleste DAH100 mini CMTS and the router is pfsense.
I'm looking for the last release for the SB3100 & SL-2810. I'm currently running SB3100-1.4.8.21-SCM02-NOSH.P7 on my SB3100's & 10.2.0 on the SL-2810's.
It would be nice if there was a repository for now unsupported hardware.
We have a small test setup using a Cisco uBR7246VXR running in all-in-one configuration mode, and am trying to check the Cisco combo modem/router model DPC2325. Testing them works fine if they are set as bridges, but not as routers. Everything works OK up to coming online, but the modems always get stuck on init(i). Anyone know of a simple change to our simple internal config file that will enable testing these units as routers? We are trying to keep using the config file function that this CMTS can provide, but can use an external file if necessary. Thanks in advance.
I'm having some issues with some really bad upstream noise on a CATV plant. I'm looking for ideas/direction to go to fix this thing. It is not a constant thing, it comes and goes. Watching a graph of the SNR on the CMTS, sometimes there is a sharp drop, and other times it is a gradual decline. SNR is typically around 36, and goes down into the low 20s when this happens, and when it's really bad, drops most all the modems on the system. It seems to be correlated with cold weather, but this may just be a coincidence.
