Field Description
Mac Addr
The MAC address for the CM.
CableIF
The cable interface line card, including upstream, for this CM.
Ins
The number of times the CM comes up and inserts itself into the
network. It can indicate intermittent downstream sync loss or
DHCP or modem registration problems.
Hit
The number of times the CM responds to MAC layer keepalive
messages. (The minimum hit rate is once per 30 seconds. It can
indicate intermittent upstream, laser clipping, or common-path
distortion.
Miss
The number of times the CM misses the MAC layer keepalive
message. An 8 percent miss rate is normal for the Cisco cable
interface line cards. It can indicate intermittent upstream, laser
clipping, or common-path distortion.
CRC
The number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors from this
CM. It can indicate intermittent upstream, laser clipping, or
common-path distortion.
P-Adj
The number of times the headend instructed the CM to adjust
transmit (TX) power more than 3 dB. It can indicate amplifier
degradation, poor connections, or thermal sensitivity.
Flap
The sum of P-Adj and Ins values. CMs with high flap counts have
high SIDs and might not register.
Time
The most recent time that the CM dropped the connection.
