Hi everyone! I have a Casa C40g, and I would like to know if it is possible to create a rule during load balancing that identifies a specific modem based on its MAC vendor and assigns it a static group of 16 carriers ???? .
Thanks.

For a quick thought I would think of a solution based on the cable modem provisioning.
The DHCP-Server will recognize the vendor of the CM and will select a configfile which includes a service-type-id in the docsis extension area.
Then you can create a restricted load balance group with the limited DS- and/or US-Channel-set on the CMTS and the CM with the service-type-id will only balanced to this set of DS/US channels.
Happy reading the specification and the vendor documentation ;)
Best regards
if you need a small solution a configuration like this can work:
load-balance execution-rule 1
upstream-threshold load 5 enforce 5
method modem
threshold load 5 enforce 5
interval 20
cable modem rebalance-interval 60
load-balance policy 1
rule execution 1
load-balance restricted-group 100
docsis-mac 1
policy-id 1
enable

load-balance restricted-cm 1
mac addr 1111.2222.3333
restricted-load-balance-group 100
something like this.
