Enabling Host Authorization for an IP Range of CPEs
Instead of adding individual static CPEs on a specific cable interface using the cable
host authorization cpe command, CPEs can be added automatically to the network
by specifying a start and end range of IP addresses. This function allows you to
specify a partial subnet by allowing CPEs on different cable interfaces to
automatically connect to a network.
Use the cable host authorization range command in Global Configuration mode to
define a range of CPE IP addresses that are allowed to be added to the host
authorization table (static IP table), as shown below. Any CPE IP address within the
specified start and end IP address range is added to the host authorization table when a
CPE joins the network.
MOT(config)#cable host authorization range {<prefix> <prefix>}
where:
prefix is the start of the IP address range.
prefix is the end of the IP address range.
For example:
MOT(config-if)#cable host authorization range 150.42.19.100 150.42.19.109
Removing Host Authorization for an IP Range of CPEs
Use the no cable host authorization range command to remove the start and end IP
range of CPE addresses so that new CPEs trying to join the network (having an IP
address within the specified range) cannot be added to the host authorization table, as
shown below:
MOT(config)#no cable host authorization range {<prefix> <prefix>}
Note: Up to 32 CPE IP address ranges can be defined for the BSR.
