First i would like to say that i managed to put up a whole system and is working more or less fine except for DHCP service. DHCP is crashing once in 5 minute interval when CPE equipment is renewing IP address. Watchdog script is doing a job, but i would like to know is there someone experiencing
a similar problem. Funny thing is that some PCs are not crashing DHCP and some crashes it every time...weird.
We have been having a strange problem for the last month or two on our Vyyo WMTS.
We have about 430 MMDS wireless customers, spread across 6 upstream channels and 1 downstream channel.
What happens is that after about 12 hours, the system will randomly stop passing packets for random IP's. Sometimes it may be a modem IP, or sometimes it may be the customers router behind the modem.
If you reboot the WMTS, it works fine for about 12 hours or so.
I would like to short the ranging time of CMs connected to Arris C3 CMTS. From my experience to the other CMTS-es I configured ranging-backof to 1 4, and it works, but in Arris C3 CMTS even with this parameter configured, some of the modems are staying for long in init(r1) mode.
Does anybody know what else I need to reconfigure?
Me and my team just finished a transition from 3com CompleteControl CMTS to a new Cisco uBR 7246. Everything was going well until we noticed that our 3com Sharkfin Homeconnect modems weren' coming up. Well, they started coming up, one by one, still some down, but there is a problem during downloads. The modems themselves are dropping packets and never reaching their provisioned speed.
Hi, i've been trying to provisioning a sbv5120 with no luck so far. i'm using isc-dhcpd and i think i'm sending the corrects options to the cm (option 122: 1,2) and mta (option 122: 3,6). i'm testing the basic provisioning for packetcable. the cm seems to provision ok (docsis 1.1) but the mta just keeps asking and asking for a reply, never acknowledges. i monitor the communication with dhcpdump and i'm delivering everything it asks! or so i think.
i've been googling around and tested everything i've found. could someone give me a hand? kind regards.
I am an Admin for a small Cable ISP. We have grown to a point where we need another block of IP addresses for our cable modems. Our modems, CMTS and TFTP Server run on a private IP block 172.31.1.1-254. Now that we need another block of IPs I am somewhat stumped as to where to make the changes to accomodate the new block.
