Verifying Upstream Data Backoff Automatic
To verify backoff window settings, enter the show controllers cable 6/0 u0 command for the upstream
port you have just configured:

Troubleshooting Tips
To troubleshoot the configuration, perform the following tasks:
• Make sure the cable connections are not loose or disconnected.
• Make sure the Cisco cable modem card is firmly seated in its chassis slot and the captive installation
screws are tight.
• Make sure you entered the correct slot and port numbers when you typed the command.
• Make sure you entered the correct upstream port number:
– On the MC16C cable modem card, this can be u0 to u5.
– On the MC14C cable modem card, this can be u0 to u3.
– On the MC12C cable modem card, this can be u0 or u1.
– On the MC11C cable modem card, this can be u0 only.
Configuring and Activating Baseline Privacy
To encrypt upstream and downstream data, you need to configure and activate baseline privacy. Baseline
privacy on an HFC network is configured with key encryption keys (KEKs) and traffic encryption keys
(TEKs). The encryption is based on 40-bit or 56-bit data encryption standard (DES) encryption
algorithms.
