Configuring Advanced CMTS Functions
Advanced CMTS configuration includes the following functions:
■ Configuring the Baseline Privacy Interface
■ Configuring Flap Control
■ Configuring CM Offline Control
■ Viewing QoS Profile Summaries
WARNING: Advanced configuration affects the performance of the
CMTS. It is recommended that configuration is performed by an
expert-level administrator.
Configuring the Baseline Privacy Interface
The Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI) protocol provides cable modems with
data privacy across the Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial (HFC) network by encrypting
traffic between cable modems and the CMTS. In addition, BPI provides
authorization parameters and traffic encryption keys that secure traffic
between cable modems and the CMTS.
For more information about managing BPI, refer to Chapter 20, “Managing
Cable Modems” on page 555.
Within Advanced CMTS configuration, configuring BPI includes the
following tasks:
■ Configuring Authorization and Traffic Encryption Keys.
■ Configuring IP Multicast Address Mapping
■ Configuring Multicast SAID Authorization
