PurposeCommand or Action
(Optional) Enables BPI+ 56-bit DES encryption on the
cable interface (default).

Example:
Router(config-if)# cable privacy
Step 4
Router(config-if)#
(Optional) Allows cable modems to register using
self-signed manufacturer certificates, as opposed to the

Step 5
default of allowing only manufacturer’s certificates that
are chained to the DOCSIS root certificate.
Example:
Router(config-if)# cable privacy
Use the above command sparingly, as it
bypasses DOCSIS BPI+ certificates. Otherwise,
self-signed certificates provide workaround
registration for cable modems that are not
compliant with DOCSIS BPI+ certificates. This
functionality is strictly intended for
troubleshooting of a short duration or in the
context of additional security measures.
Caution
By default, the CMTS does not accept self-signed
certificates. In the default configuration, if a cable
modem attempts to register with self-signed
certificates, the CMTS will refuse to allow the
cable modem to register.
Note
accept-self-signed-certificate
Router(config-if)#
(Optional) Enables BPI+ encryption on the cable interface
and uses AAA protocols to authorize all multicast stream
(IGMP) join requests.
cable privacy authorize-multicast
Example:
Router(config-if)# cable privacy
Step 6
If you use this command to authorize multicast
streams, you must also use the cable privacy
authenticate-modem command to enable AAA
services on the cable interface.
Note
authorize-multicast
Router(config-if)#
(Optional) Requires baseline privacy be active for all CMs
with BPI/BPI+ enabled in the DOCSIS configuration files,
else the CMs are forced to go offline.
cable privacy mandatory
Example:
Router(config-if)# cable privacy
Step 7
If a CM does not have BPI enabled in its DOCSIS
configuration file, it will be allowed to come online without
BPI.

Router(config-if)#
(Optional) Enables BPI+ encryption on the cable interface
and enables Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding

option could have a performance impact.
