9. Configure Fiber Node and Topology
This section provides commands to configure the fiber node data and assign the channels that were defined in the
previous procedures to those fiber nodes.
Configure fiber node 1:
configure cable fiber-node FN1
configure cable fiber-node FN1 cable-upstream 1/0 1/1 1/2 1/3
configure cable fiber-node FN1 cable-downstream 14/0 14/1 14/2 14/3 14/4 14/5 14/6 14/7
10. Configure a Dynamic Bonding Group
This section is provides the commands to create the bonding groups. There are two ways to configure bonding groups:
dynamic and static. This example uses only dynamic. (See
(page 685) for more information.) Note that
the RCC is configured here as well.
Dynamically configure the downstream bonding group by entering:
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable downstream-bonding-group dynamic enable
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable dynamic-rcc
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable verbose-cm-rcp
To dynamically configure the upstream bonding group, enter:
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable upstream-bonding-group dynamic enable
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable mult-tx-chl-mode
11. Configure RCC Management
In this Basic Bring-up, the RCC configuration is created while configuring bonding groups in the procedure above.
DOCSIS 3.0 allows for two methods of configuring the CM Receive Channel Configuration (RCC). Like bonding group
configurations, there can be static and dynamic RCC configurations in Release 7.x and later.
The Static method consists of explicitly defining all the different combinations that could occur on any given node with
specific downstream channels. For an example of static RCC configuration, see
Configuration Examples for Static RCC
