cable flap-list aging

The cable flap-list aging command specifies the cable flap-list aging in terms of maximum number of minutes a cable modem is kept in the flap-list. Use the no cable flap-list aging command to disable cable flap-list aging.

Use this command to keep track of cable modem mac address upstream and downstream traffic for every cable modem having communication problems. Problems can be detected when the cable is inactive. This command will show cable modem registration events, missed ranging packets, upstream power adjustments, and the CMTS physical interface. Monitoring the flap list can not affect cable modem communications.

The user can get the following information with the cable flap-list aging number of days command:

Upstream performance data.

Quality control installation data.

Cable modem problem isolation and location.

CMTS problems based upon high activity.

Unreliable upstream paths based on high CRC errors.
