Hi all. I'm seeking some high-level advice on basic network design for a DOCSIS CPE subnet. Thanks in advance :)
I've inherited a small DOCSIS provider network. We have a single cable bundle with a private subnet for CPE and secondary subnet for modems. CPE traffic is routed through a NAT gateway for internet access.
Have any of you ever had a situation where the upload traffic doesn't go down as it should during the night ?
usually the upload traffic at night goes down near zero
We have upload traffic during the night and if we do an addition of each individual modem the total traffic doesn't fit with the reported traffic we see on the monitoring
So it's like "ghost" traffic, it is not sent by the modems but it appears in the cmts interface.
I am testing with this command on linux to enable remote access from cisco modem DPC3825
1.3.6.1.4.1.1429.77.1.7.5.0 i 1
1.3.6.1.4.1.1429.77.1.7.6.0 s user
1.3.6.1.4.1.1429.77.1.7.7.0 s password"
executing this line:
snmpset -r 0 -v2c -c public 10.8.156.76 1.3.6.1.4.1.1429.77.1.7.5.0 i 1
I have this error:
Error in packet.
Reason: (readOnly) The two parties used do not have access to use the specified SNMP PDU.
Failed object: iso.3.6.1.4.1.1429.77.1.7.5.0
A customer experienced problems today with the remaining ~100 modems of model Motorola SB5101E. They all got stuck in reject(pk) or reject(pt) and possibly online(un) for some time. CMTS is a BSR2000. We tried it all but eventually set the date back to 2020 instead of 2021 and all modems came up. The modem logs showed a lot of "Time requested - no response received" or similar, but we verified that the time server did send correctly stamped time responses.
