590 APPENDIX B: CONFIGURING EXTERNAL PROVISIONING SERVERS
If you are not using the internal FastFlow BPM DHCP server and are instead using an external DHCP server, then you must point the DHCP relay agent on the CMTS DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS module to the IP address of the external provisioning server. The following procedure steps you through the process of configuring the CMTS to use an external DHCP provisioning server.If a DHCP policy is not configured, then the DHCP relay drops all DHCP requests as it does not know where to forward them.
Task Command
Note: Skip tasks 1, 2, and 3 if
the FastFlow Broadband
Provisioning Manager is not
