Event 5—Establish IP Connectivity

After ranging is complete, the cable interface on the cable modem is up. Now the cable modem accesses a remote DHCP server to get an IP address. The DHCP request also includes the name of a file that contains additional configuration parameters, the TFTP server’s address, and the Time of Day (TOD) server’s address.

The field CMAC_LOG_DHCP_ASSIGNED_IP_ADDRESS indicates the IP address assigned from the DHCP server to the cable modem interface. The field CMAC_LOG_DHCP_TFTP_SERVER_ADDRESS marks the TFTP server’s address. The field CMAC_LOG_DHCP_TOD_SERVER_ADDRESS indicates the time of day server’s address. The field CMAC_LOG_DHCP_CONFIG_FILE_NAME shows the filename containing the

transmission parameters. The fieldshows that all the IP connectivity was a success.

Event 6Establish the Time of Day

The Cisco uBR904 cable modem accesses the Time of Day server for the current date and time,

which is used to create time stamps for logged events. The fieldindicates a successful time of day sequence.

Event 7Establish Security

The cable modem establishes a security association. The security_association_state is normally bypassed since “full security” as defined by MCNS DOCSIS is not supported.

“Full security” was a request made by MSOs for a very strong authorization and authentication check by the CMTS. This request was not granted by cable modem manufacturers. Cisco fully supports baseline privacy, which protects user’s data from getting “sniffed” on the cable network.
