PCMM Support for Using Remote Subnet IPs as Subscriber IDs
Standards Compliance
The capability of using a remote subnet IP address as the subscriber ID (as depicted by Hosts 1 and 2 in the figure above) is
clarified in section 6.1.3 of the I06 version of the PCMM specification (PKT-SP-MM-I06-110629).
PCMM CLI Commands
The C4/c CMTS supports multiple routing tables using the VRF feature. To prevent confusion that could occur if the same
subscriber ID existed in two different VRFs, the C4/c CMTS allows only one VRF to support remote subscriber IDs for
PCMM.
If you wish to use the default VRF to support remote subnets and the VRF does not already exist, you need only ensure
that PCMM is enabled:
configure packetcable pcmm no shutdown
If you wish to use a VRF other than the default VRF to support remote subnets and the VRF does not already exist, you
must first create the VRF you wish to use:
configure ip vrf <vrf name>
Once the VRF that you wish to use is created, use the following command to designate that named VRF as the one that will
be used for remote subscriber IDs (in other words, for this feature):
configure packetcable pcmm subscriber-id vrf <vrf name> [no]
Use the [no] version of the command to restore the default VRF as the one used for remote subscriber IDs.
Note: The VRF used for remote subnets cannot be renamed while PCMM is running. To change the name of this VRF,
you must first shut down PCMM.
Before enabling PCMM, you may wish to execute a
show packetcable global
command in order to see the name of the
VRF being used for remote subscriber IDs.
show packetcable global
To shut down PCMM:
configure packetcable pcmm shutdown
