defines a block of adjacent channels to center frequencies located at an integral number of channel widths from the first
channel center frequency of the block." The C4/c CMTS bonding group channel selection algorithm will not necessarily
select contiguous channels, but will always select channels that belong to a single MAC Domain on a single downstream
CAM.
As shown in the table below, MxN RCP architectures (receive channels x receive modules) are not supported by dynamic
RCC creation: they must have RCCs that are statically configured. C4/c CMTS users should know that in such cases the
number of static RCC configuration permutations can be unpleasantly large. The C4/c CMTS does not impose limitations on
static RCC configurations because to do so would limit MSO flexibility.
The following table summarizes the RCC capabilities of the C4/c CMTS.
Table 89. RCC Capabilities
RCP Architecture
Channels x Modules
All receive channels connect to a single RM.
Channels and modules are equal in number and each channel connects to its
own RM.
Flexible channel-module assignments.
As discussed above, bonding group channel selection follows the RCC creation. Bonding groups may be statically defined or
dynamically created.
The following command enables the C4/c CMTS to dynamically create RCCs:
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable dynamic-rcc
Configuration Examples for Static RCC
Configuring Static RCC Using One Block
Use the following commands to create static RCCs using one block:
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable rcp-id 0010000003 rcc 1 description "CLAB-6M-003"
