cable load-balance exclude
To exclude a particular cable modem, or all cable modems from a particular vendor, from one or more
forms of load-balancing operations, use the
cable load-balance exclude
command in global
configuration mode. To end the exclusion, so that these particular cable modems are subject to the load-
balancing policies of the load-balance group to which they belong, use the
no
form of this command.

Syntax Description
Defaults
By default, all cable modems on an interface are automatically included in all configured load-balancing
operations when that cable interface is assigned to a load-balance group (
no cable load-balance
exclude
). When a cable modem is excluded without any options specified, the cable modem is excluded
from dynamic and static load balancing, but it continues to participate in passive load balancing.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
The
cable load-balance exclude
command allows you to specify that particular cable modems should
not participate in one or more types of load-balancing operations. This might be done for cable modems
that are currently provisioned for premium services, for cable modems that do not respond appropriately
to upstream channel change (UCC) or channel override messages, or for other reasons.
modem
mac-address
Specifies the hardware (MAC) address of an individual cable modem to be
excluded from load balancing. (You cannot specify a multicast MAC
address.)
oui
oui-value
Specifies the organization unique identifier (OUI) of a vendor, so that cable
modems from this vendor are excluded from load balancing. The OUI must
be specified as three hexadecimal bytes separated by either periods or
colons.
enforce
(Optional) Excludes the cable modems from dynamic load balancing, but
they continue to participate in static load balancing.
static
(Optional) Excludes the cable modems from static load balancing, but they
continue to participate in passive load balancing and dynamic load
balancing.
strict
(Optional) Excludes the cable modems from all forms of load balancing.
static strict
(Optional) Excludes the cable modem from active and passive load
balancing, but they continue to participate in dynamic load balancing.
