Enter the following CLI commands to configure the RCM:
configure interface gigabitEthernet 17/0 ip address 192.168.176.2 255.255.255.0
configure interface gigabitEthernet 17/0 no shutdown
This example assumes that static routing is used. To apply a default route, enter:
configure ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.176.1
Configure MAC Domains
This section configures the MAC Domain on your system.
Note: If you are using 16D and 12U CAMs, then each MAC domain must consist of channels from exactly one 16D CAM and
exactly one 12U CAM. In other words, the MAC domain cannot include ports from more than one 16D CAM or from more
than one 12U CAM.
Configure and assign the MAC domain:
configure interface cable-mac 1 description Mac1
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable cm-ip-prov-mode ipv4only
configure interface cable-mac 1 ip address 192.168.180.1 255.255.255.0
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable helper-address 10.43.210.1
configure interface cable-mac 1 no shutdown
Configure Downstream Parameters
This section configures a single 16D CAM in slot 15. The 16D has the following characteristics:
4 physical connectors, each of which can output 4 downstream channels
The downstream channel frequencies are grouped four per connector. For each connector there is an 80 MHz
frequency range available for those four channels.
DS carriers 0-3 are associated with connector D0
DS carriers 4-7 are associated with connector D1
DS carriers 8-11 are associated with connector D2
DS carriers 12-15 are associated with connector D3
To configure the downstream interfaces to the cable-mac, enter:
configure interface cable-downstream 15/0 cable cable-mac 1
configure interface cable-downstream 15/1 cable cable-mac 1
configure interface cable-downstream 15/2 cable cable-mac 1
