Chapter 22: Channel Bonding

STANDARD Revision 1.0 C4® CMTS Release 8.3 User Guide

Configuration Example for Channel Bonding Using Sample MAC Domain 1

1. Provision slots for a 12U and a 16D CAM:

configure slot 1 type 12UCAM

configure slot 14 type 16DCAM

2. Create and configure MAC domain 1:

configure interface cable-mac 1 description "cmac-1"

configure interface cable-mac 1 cable cm-ip-prov-mode ipv4only

configure interface cable-mac 1 cable dynamic-rcc

configure interface cable-mac 1 cable downstream-bonding-group dynamic enable

configure interface cable-mac 1.0 ip address 192.168.180.1 255.255.255.0

configure interface cable-mac 1.0 ip address 192.168.181.1 255.255.255.0 secondary

configure interface cable-mac 1.0 cable helper-address 10.43.210.1

configure interface cable-mac 1 no shutdown

configure interface cable-mac 1 cable bundle master

3. This sample configuration uses four downstreams. Add the four downstreams to MAC domain 1:

configure interface cable-downstream 14/0 cable cable-mac 1

configure interface cable-downstream 14/1 cable cable-mac 1

configure interface cable-downstream 14/2 cable cable-mac 1

configure interface cable-downstream 14/3 cable cable-mac 1

4. This sample configuration uses four upstreams. Add them to MAC domain 1:

configure interface cable-upstream 1/0 cable cable-mac 1

configure interface cable-upstream 1/1 cable cable-mac 1

configure interface cable-upstream 1/2 cable cable-mac 1

configure interface cable-upstream 1/3 cable cable-mac 1

5. Set the downstream center frequencies:

configure interface cable-downstream 14/0 cable frequency 615000000

configure interface cable-downstream 14/1 cable frequency 621000000

configure interface cable-downstream 14/2 cable frequency 627000000

configure interface cable-downstream 14/3 cable frequency 633000000

6. Activate (no shut) the four downstreams:

configure interface cable-downstream 14/0 no shutdown

configure interface cable-downstream 14/1 no shutdown

configure interface cable-downstream 14/2 no shutdown

configure interface cable-downstream 14/3 no shutdown
