Supplemental
Information
If the cleared host continues communicating through the CM, the C4 CMTS adds the host back to its internal address tables and the
show cable modem command shows it as having a static address. To block the host from any further access, use the configure
interface cable-mac <mac> cable source-verify dhcp command so that the host cannot access the network unless it obtains
an IP address from an authorized DHCP server.
Parameters
<ip_addr>
IP address for the device to be cleared
<mac_addr>
