Default Value

 

 

 

 

ATU-C CAP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CPE Signature

This attribute specifies a CPE

0-127

0

 

software signature (which

 

 

 

corresponds to a specific version).

 

 

 

If the Allow CPE’s Signature

 

 

 

Detection attribute is Enabled, then

 

 

 

any CPE having a software

 

 

 

signature lower than this value will

 

 

 

not be allowed to train. A value of

 

 

 

zero implies that no rejection will

 

 

 

occur.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allow CPE’s

This attribute controls the

minimum compatible software

 

 

 

levels when the modem port that

 

 

 

the subscriber is connected to

 

 

 

trains to the CPE at the far end. If

 

 

 

this attribute is Enabled, the

 

 

 

modem port retrieves the software

 

 

 

signature during the training

 

 

 

sequence. If disabled, the software

 

 

 

signature provided by the far end

 

 

 

CPE is ignored and the training

 

 

 

sequence is allowed to continue as

 

 

 

normal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allow 136K

Enabling this attribute allows

modems to use the 136K baud rate

 

 

(Downstream)

when attempting to train at the

 

 

 

requested upstream and

 

 

 

downstream rates

 

 

 

(incoming/outgoing bandwidth). If

 

 

 

this attribute is Disabled, the 136K

 

 

 

baud rate will not be used in the

 

 

 

training algorithm. If the

 

 

 

subscriber is provisioned for rates

 

 

 

that require 136K baud, the modem

 

 

 

will attempt to train at the closest

 

 

 

rate combination not using 136K

 

 

 

baud.

NI-1 specifications

Cisco Systems NI-1, a network infrastructure platform, is designed to address the evolving demands of modern digital networks. As enterprises increasingly rely on cloud services and IoT devices, Cisco has engineered the NI-1 to be adaptive, scalable, and secure, thereby enhancing overall network efficiency.

One of the standout features of the Cisco NI-1 is its robust support for Software Defined Networking (SDN). This technology allows for centralized control of the network, enabling administrators to manage policies and configurations more effectively. The NI-1 facilitates rapid deployment of new applications and services while streamlining network operations. Its SDN capabilities empower organizations to transform their networks into agile and responsive infrastructures.

Another significant aspect of the NI-1 is its integration with Cisco’s Intent-Based Networking (IBN) solution. This technology uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate network management tasks such as configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. As a result, network teams can allocate resources quickly and address issues proactively, significantly reducing downtime and enhancing performance.

Security is also a major emphasis for the NI-1. The platform incorporates advanced security features, including end-to-end encryption, secure segmentation, and threat detection, ensuring that sensitive data flowing through the network remains protected. Cisco's security protocols seamlessly integrate with the NI-1, helping organizations to safeguard their digital assets against emerging threats.

In terms of scalability, the NI-1 is built to grow alongside an enterprise’s needs. With its modular architecture, businesses can easily expand their network capabilities by adding components as required. This flexibility is vital in today’s environment, where organizations may rapidly increase their network capacity or incorporate new technologies.

Moreover, the NI-1 supports a wide range of connectivity options, including Ethernet, wireless, and fiber, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Its modular design allows for easy upgrades, keeping the network current with technological advancements.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems NI-1 stands as a comprehensive solution to modern networking challenges. With its emphasis on SDN, IBN, advanced security measures, and flexibility, it positions businesses to thrive in an increasingly connected world. As companies continue to evolve in their digital transformation efforts, the NI-1 provides the necessary tools to enhance their operational efficiency and security.
