Cable Shared-Secret - Motorola BSR 64000 Reference Manual

cable shared-secret

The cable shared-secret command activates or deactivates cable modem
authentication with a shared-secret key. The no cable shared-secret command sets
the cable shared-secret back to the default.
Use the cable shared-secret command to authenticate the cable modem such that all
cable modems must return a text string to register for access to the network.
If no cable shared-secret is configured on CMTS, secret key checking is not available
on any cable modem. If shared-secret is configured on CMTS, cable modems have to
use the secret key obtained from the CM configuration files obtained from the TFTP
server.
