1. Use the cable sync-interval command in Interface Configuration mode to set the
synchronization message interval value:
MOT(config-if)#
cable sync-interval {
0-200
}
where:
0-200
is the synchronization interval set in milliseconds (msecs).
2. Use the show running-config command in Privileged EXEC mode to verify the
synchronization message interval setting . Until an interval is set, the no sync
interval entry appears in the display.
Use the no cable sync-interval command in Interface Configuration mode if you
need to reset the default synchronization message interval:
MOT(config-if)#
no cable sync-interval
3. Use the show cable sync-interval command in Interface Configuration mode to
display the synchronization message interval:
MOT(config-if)#
show cable sync-interval
Use the no cable sync-interval command in Interface Configuration mode to
reset the default synchronization message interval:
MOT(config-if)#
no cable sync-interval <
1-200
>
Setting CM Authentication Parameters
The default authentication parameters are enabled, but have a null value by default.
Use the information in the following sections to set authentication parameters on the
cable interface and the CMs to ensure security on the HFC network.
Note: Ensure that the interface is down before setting the synchronization
message interval.
Note: The unencrypted "authentication string" on the BSR can be up to 246
characters. The encrypted "authentication string" on the BSR can be up to
508 characters.
