Configuring Cable Profiles

 

Command

 

Purpose

Step 5

 

 

CMTS01(config)# cable qos-profile groupnum

Sets the maximum upstream data rate in kbps that a

 

max-upstream rate

cable modem using this QoS profile will send. Valid

 

 

 

 

 

values are from 0 to 100000 kbps. Default = 0 (no

 

 

 

 

 

upstream rate limit.)

Step 6

 

 

CMTS01(config)# cable qos-profile groupnum

Sets the maximum downstream data rate in kbps that

 

max-downstream rate

a cable modem using this QoS profile will receive.

 

 

 

 

 

Valid values are from 0 to 100000 kbps. Default = 0

 

 

 

 

 

(no downstream rate limit.)

Step 7

 

 

CMTS01(config)# cable qos-profile groupnum priority

Assigns a relative priority number for the upstream

 

number

 

traffic associated with this QoS profile. Valid values

 

 

 

 

 

are from 0 to 7, with 7 being the highest priority.

 

 

 

 

 

Default = 0.

Step 8

 

 

CMTS01(config)# cable qos-profile groupnum

Overwrites the ToS byte in the IP datagrams received

 

tos-overwrite value

on the upstream before forwarding them downstream.

 

 

 

 

 

Sets the mask bits to a hexadecimal value to help the

 

 

 

 

 

CMTS identify datagrams for QoS on the backbone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

You can use a single cable qos-profilecommand to configure multiple parameters for the

 

 

 

 

selected QoS profile number.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use the no cable qos-profilegroupnum command to remove an optional QoS profile, or in the case of QoS profiles 1 and 2, to return the parameters to their default values.

Verifying QoS Profiles

To verify whether or not a QoS profile has been created, and to see how it is configured, enter the show cable qos profile command:

Troubleshooting Tips

To troubleshoot the configuration, perform the following tasks:

Make sure you are in global configuration mode.

Make sure you typed the correct QoS profile number and profile elements when you used the command.

Note that cable modems that register continuously and fail consume more resources than cable modems that stay registered.

Note that DOCSIS 1.0-certified cable modems that are given a short max-burst size may be unable to transmit large packets to the headend.
