Command History
Usage Guidelines
This feature speeds up the frequency search performed by the cable access router. Normally it takes the
cable access router about 30 to 50 seconds to sample 30 to 50 frequencies. The
cable-modem
fast-search
command can reduce this search time. However, there might be some cases where this
fast-search algorithm might not perform as well as the default algorithm. Trial and error is the only way
to discover how well this feature works for your environment.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the faster downstream search algorithm on the router’s
cable interface:
Router(config)#
interface cable-modem 0
Router(config-if)#
cable-modem fast-search
Router(config-if)#
Release
