Channel to MAC Domain Association
Channels in the CMTS must be assigned to a MAC domain in order to provide service. The MAC domain uses the channels
to transport signaling and data to the CMs.
The commands in this section bind a logical upstream or downstream channel with a MAC Domain. The ARRIS CMTS will
assign a default channel ID for each channel but the user may provision a channel ID (DCID or UCID) to the channel for use
in channel signaling.
These commands associate a downstream channel from an XD CAM or a logical upstream channel from a 12U or 24U CAM
to a logical MAC domain. See example below.
configure interface cable-downstream <WORD> cable cable-mac <mac> [no]
configure interface cable-upstream <WORD> cable cable-mac <mac> [no]
