 provisioned method.png | 33.45 KB |
Hi everyone.
Searching for some information about the MTA file configuration, i can see that the MTA file configuration downloaded is wrong. Because there is a loop downloading the configuration file. I know this a NCS based MTA.
I don't believe that the problem is the DHCP server.
So i have questions:
1) How can i debug the MTA file configuration and check the point failed?.
2) What is the minimum configuration in order to provision it?
3) May some body share a MTA config example for this model?
There is a BSR1000 Docsis 1.1 and packetcable 1.0. I did test the Hitron 3642 SIP cable modem and it works fine. But we can buy locally TM402 and SBV4200.
There is nothing wrong with CM provisioning and it is working.
I have an Arris TM402, in other way, I can test this cable modem but with SIP firmware. I did check a lot of examples here but i need the firmware for this cable modem. So i beg your help, if you could send me a copy of that firmware. I really appreciate it.
Some cofigs:
DHCP server:
#option 122
option space docsis-mta;
option docsis-mta.dhcp-server-1 code 1 = ip-address;
option docsis-mta.dhcp-server-2 code 2 = ip-address;
option docsis-mta.provision-server code 3 = { integer 8, ip-address };
option docsis-mta.as-req-as-rep-1 code 4 = { integer 32, integer 32, integer 32 };
option docsis-mta.ap-req-ap-rep-2 code 5 = { integer 32, integer 32, integer 32 };
option docsis-mta.krb-realm-name code 6 = string;
option docsis-mta.tgs-util code 7 = boolean;
option docsis-mta.timer code 8 = integer 8;
option docsis-mta-pkt code 122 = encapsulate docsis-mta;
option docsis-mta.provision-server 0 mta.domain.com;
option docsis-mta.krb-realm-name "\005BASIC\0011\000";
class "MTA" {
match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier,0,5) = "pktc1";
spawn with option agent.remote-id;
default-lease-time 60800;
max-lease-time 21600;
min-lease-time 10800;
option time-offset -21600;
option domain-name "mta.domain.com";
ddns-updates off;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.2;
option routers 10.3.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
option log-servers 192.168.1.3;
option time-servers 192.168.1.3;
option tftp-server-name "192.168.1.2";
next-server 172.16.1.2;
option time-offset -18000;
option host-name = host-decl-name;
option tftp-server-name "192.168.1.2";
}
hard to say exactly but it looks like this line is the trouble spot
option tftp-server-name "192.168.1.2";
next-server 172.16.1.2;
These should be the same option tftp-server is the new way to define the tftp server next-server is the older method. the SBV4200 is definitely an older modem.
Try setting both to the same setting i.e.
option tftp-server-name "192.168.1.2";
next-server 192.168.1.2;
and lets see where you are.....
Thank you for your reply. I tested the changes asked by you. The config_mta.bin is downloaded, i can see in syslog:
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0c:e5:7a:d2:f0 via 10.3.0.1
DHCPOFFER on 10.3.3.254 to 00:0c:e5:7a:d2:f0 via 10.3.0.1
DHCPREQUEST for 10.3.3.254 (192.168.1.2) from 00:0c:e5:7a:d2:f0 via 10.3.0.1
DHCPACK on 10.3.3.254 to 00:0c:e5:7a:d2:f0 via 10.3.0.1
tftpd[14013]: tftpd: trying to get file: sbv4200_mta.bin
tftpd[14013]: tftpd: serving file from /srv/tftp
But after a minute it starts again.
So this the mta config file:
I appreciate an example of this file (NCS support) because i am not sure if i am on the right way.

Why TM402 does not accept DHCP Offer with same configuration and SBV4200 it does.??
Many thanks for your help. Actually, appreciate it.
I don't see your option 122 dhcp server being assigned to the modem for the MTA you should have a
option docsis-mta.dhcp-server-1 [DHCP IP]; on the class for your modems. this is how the MTA's get their DHCP server.
also in your MTA class Definition you need a
option docsis-mta.provision-server [Provisioning Server];
Other than that the MTAs are really picky about their FQDN, if they do not have a FQDN they will not complete the registration process.
Please check the modems logs and see what is going on, the arris modem has a separate log for MTA events.
