Flap List Troubleshooting
This document describes how to configure and use the Flap List Troubleshooting feature on the Cisco Cable
Modem Termination System (CMTS) routers. The flap list is a patented tool for the Cisco CMTS routers to
diagnose potential problems with a particular cable modem or with a particular cable interface. The flap list
tracks "flapping" cable modems, which are cable modems that have intermittent connectivity problems.
Excessive flapping could indicate a problem with a particular cable modem or with the upstream or downstream
portion of the cable plant.
