Configure Bonding Group Management
This section deals with bonding groups. One method to build a bonding group is to dynamically configure it. This method is
preferred. Use the following command to create dynamic bonding groups:
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable downstream-bonding-group dynamic enable
The second method is Static Configuration: in this method each bonding group is specifically assigned to downstream
channels which will comprise the group. Enter the following commands:
configure interface cable-mac 1
cable downstream-bonding-group 1 cable-downstream 15/0 15/1 15/2
cable downstream-bonding-group 2 cable-downstream 15/0 15/1 15/2 15/3
Configure RCC Management
DOCSIS 3.0 allows for two methods of configuring the CM Receive Channel Configuration (RCC). Like the bonding group
configuration above, there can be dynamic and static RCC configurations.
To enable dynamic RCC configuration creation, use the following command:
configure interface cable-mac 1 cable dynamic-rcc
The Static method is shown below. It consists of explicitly defining all the different combinations that could occur on any
given node with specific downstream channels. Create a sample static RCC by entering the following commands:
configure interface cable-mac 1
