Cisco DDC (Dual DOCSIS Channel)
The Cisco Dual DOCSIS Channel (DDC) feature provides redundancy to cable voice and data customers
by using two or three CMTSs with connected RF upstreams and downstreams. Redundancy is provided
by controlling each CMTS on which the cable modems register, and by allowing movement of the cable
modems between the Cisco CMTS systems.
Cisco DDC provides redundancy during planned downtime, especially during software upgrades, with
minimal configuration or control external to the Cisco CMTS.
For information about configuring, maintaining and troubleshooting DDC on the Cisco uBR7246VXR
router, refer to the section “Configuring Dual DOCSIS Channel on the Cisco uBR7246VXR Universal
Broadband Router” in the following document on Cisco.com:
