I test my Cisco 10K and Broadcom cable modem security feature.
The Broadcome modem have a fearture that can enforce to use the "tftp" and "config file name" in NonVol setting,
due to this feature, it can ignore the config file name that DHCP provision server is providing.
so I can change the ConfigFileName in the console to request the highest QoS and use your area's TFTP server.
Does anyone here have any experience with the provisioning software DOXcontrol by Cablesight? Or their “ModemPad” config creator? There is a listing on this site and others that says it works with MTA’s and VOIP but I’ve had trouble using it for VOIP with the Arris 1500 CMTS DOCSIS 1.1 and the Arris 402P w/ MTA.
Today I was checking out Brady Volpe's blog (http://bradyvolpe.com/), and saw a post where he recommended a config file editor, I was trying it out and is quite good (and free), it was developed by Excentis.
Can anybody explain me, what does this parameter is really mean?
(I think with this option i can log cable modems events to a syslog server, but suspicious that is not true..)
I have DHCP connected to the CMTS by Ethernet.
CabelModem connected to the CMTS by Coaxial.
Some device with linux connected to CM.
Device, CMTS, DHCP are supporting IPv4 and IPv6.
CM is support only IPv4 but has bridge between networks (Device <--> CMTS).
When I do ping from Device to Cabel interface of CMTS, CMTS doesn't send any Neighbor solicitation to Device (checked with tcpdump) and IP of Device is marked as INCOMPLETE in Neighbor list on CMTS.
We have been trying to figure out the best way to control our issues for cable modems. We have switched to the IBBS platform and are discovering issues in our system that we were not aware of. I wanted to get a little prospective on how others out there are using this system.
How are you sweeping your system and what parameters are being used to do so?
How you control your SNR and break up the plant to discover problem areas?
More questions will probably arise as responses start coming in
