Configuring Maximum Hosts Attached to a Cable Modem
Configuring Maximum Hosts Attached to a Cable Modem
To specify the maximum number of hosts that can be attached to a subscriber’s CM, use the following
command in cable interface configuration mode.
Configuring Per-Modem Filters
You can configure the Cisco uBR7200 series to filter incoming packets from individual hosts or
cable interfaces based on the source Media Access Controller (MAC) or Internet Protocol (IP) address.
Definition of filters follows standard Cisco IOS configuration practices for access lists and groups.
Note
Configuring per modem or host filters is supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T1 or higher, as well as
in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(6)SC or higher.
To specify the access group (per-modem filter), use the
cable modem access-group
command in privileged
EXEC mode. To disable the specification, use the
no access-group
form of this command.

mac-addr

Syntax Description
Examples
The following example shows the
cable modem access-group
command assigning access-list 1 to the
CM with the MAC address of abcd.ef01.2345:
Router# cable modem abcd.ef01.2345 access-group 1
This command configures access lists to be specified on a per-interface and per-direction basis. The
packets received from cable interfaces and/or individual hosts are filtered based on the cable interface
or the host the packets are received from. Use
modem
if the device is a CM. Use
host
if the device is a
CPE device attached to a CM.
The
macaddr
specifies the CM’s or CPE device’s unique MAC address. Define the filter to be applied to
the device and a given address.
Use the
ipaddr
option to specify the CM or CPE device’s current IP address.
