Address Verification - Cisco uBR10012 Software Configuration Manual

Supported Software Features for the Cisco uBR10012 Router

address verification.

CM Transmission Burst Size
The Cisco uBR10012 router allows CMs to register with a maximum transmission burst size up to 2000
bytes. This applies to DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.1 CMs that are configured with concatenation and no IP
fragmentation.

Dynamic or Mobile Host Support
The cable source-verify command allows the CMTS administrator to bring up a PC behind one CM,
then move it to another CM. This adds information for the hosts involved in host tables. To prevent
security breaches, this feature supports pinging the host using the old SID to verify that it has indeed
been moved. The security applies to upstream and downstream configuration.
Command
cable source-verify dhcp
The no cable arp command should be configured in the CMTS to prevent it from sending ARP requests.
Note
The no cable arp command prevents the CMTS from sending an arp downstream to CPE hosts or to
devices behind CMs requesting an IP/MAC address association. If the CMTS already knows the
association, or is able to learn it in some other manner, IP packets are forwarded. Otherwise, if the
destination is unknown, the packets are dropped.
Devices on a CM network may share a large subnet, but cannot communicate with each other without
first going through the CMTS. The no cable proxy arp command prevents the CMTS from replying to
arp requests for hosts on the same subnet, and thus prevents peer to peer communication between
subscribers behind CMs.

on Cisco.com.
Dynamic Shared Secret (DMIC) with OUI Exclusion
Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC introduces the option of excluding the Organizational Unique Identifiers
(OUIs) from being subjected to the DMIC check. The new cable dynamic-secret exclude command
allow specific cable modems to be excluded from the Dynamic Shared Secret feature on the following
Cisco CMTS platforms:
•
•
The Dynamic Shared Secret feature automatically creates a unique DOCSIS shared secret on a per-modem
basis, creating a one-time use DOCSIS configuration file that is valid only for the current session. This
ensures that a DOCSIS configuration file that has been downloaded for one cable modem can never be used
by any other modem, nor can the same modem reuse this configuration file at a later time.
