Configuring Headend Broadband Access Router Features
Configuring and Activating Frequency Agility
The following example enables spectrum management for all upstream ports, assuming that all combiner groups use the frequency band from 20 to 26 MHz:
CMTS01(config)# cable
CMTS01(config)# cable
CMTS01(config)# cable
CMTS01(config)# cable
CMTS01(config)# cable
CMTS01(config)# interface Cable3/0
CMTS01(config)# interface Cable4/0
A description of the spectrum groups 1 through 3 follows:
•Spectrum group
Upstream Port | RF Domain |
Cable3/0 U0 | combiner group A |
Cable3/0 U1 | combiner group B |
Cable3/0 U4 | combiner group D |
Cable4/0 U1 | combiner group F |
Cable4/0 U2 | combiner group G |
Cable4/0 U3 | combiner group H |
Cable4/0 U4 | combiner group I |
Cable4/0 U5 | combiner group J |
•Spectrum group
Upstream Port | RF Domain | ||
Cable3/0 | U2 | combiner | group C |
Cable3/0 | U3 | combiner | group C |
•Spectrum group
Upstream Port | RF Domain | ||
Cable3/0 | U5 | combiner | group E |
Cable4/0 | U0 | combiner | group E |
For the 20 to 26 MHz band of each RF domain, the spectrum is channelized according to the
channel width settings of each member port. For example, if the ports U2 and U3 of Cable3/0 are set to
3.2MHz and 1.6 MHz channel widths, respectively, then spectrum group 2 uses the following channelization:
>Channel Width Start Stop Center
>(Mhz) (Mhz) (Mhz) (Mhz)
> 1 | 3.2 | 20.0 | 23.2 | 21.6 | |
> 2* | 1.6 | 20.0 | 21.6 | 20.8 | |
> | 3* | 1.6 | 21.6 | 23.2 | 22.4 |
> | 4 | 1.6 | 23.2 | 24.8 | 24.0 |
Note Channels 2 and 3 are not available when channel 1 is in use.
Because the group is shared, ports U2 and U3 will be assigned channels 1 and 4, respectively, to prevent overlap.
