I have problem upgrading firmware on my arris CM450B.
I added flollowing lines in to modem config:
SwUpgradeFilename "CM050012_062404_EURO.img";
SwUpgradeServer 10.0.0.1;
but he modem never requests this file from tftp server.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
This is the error i get from modem via syslog
CABLEMODEM[DOCSIS]:<69020700>Configuration File CVC Validation Failure Config File: 512.cm - TFTP Server: 10.0.0.1
As stated above you need Arris's CVC.
For Arris CVC the easiest way to get it is to Contact Arris and get their PacketAce Program it has the CVC preprogramed into it.
The problem is that any firmware than you want to upgrade in CM must be signed by CM vendor certivicate. So talking about you config example, there must be one more option - CVC certificate.
You can obtain such a certificate from your vendor.
Unfortunatelly I`m at home at the moment, and I don`t have any examples. Tomorrow I quote an example of Motorola firmware update config file $)
Yes please, paste here part of the manual that explains that...
Is there any way do disable this check.
Where do I get CVC certificate, Can I generate my own?

No it`s not impossible. It`s requirement of DOCSIS 1.1 specification. You`ve to obtain such a certificate from vendor or your distributor.
Here is the example of motorola config, I`ve translated it into the text file:
FileVersion = Version 6.0
03 (Net Access Control) = 1
09 (Software Upgrade File) = SB5100E-2.3.3.0-SCM00-NOSH-NNEMN.p7

33 (Co-signer's CVC)

COS Serial Number: 4d 4e 27 2d ad 34 be de 0c a1 8e 48 7c 7f 82 ca

This is how it looks in config file.
If you like, I`l send compiled config to you.
