BSR 2000 Command Reference Guide Release 1.0

cable shared-secret

The cable shared-secretcommand activates or deactivates cable modem authentication with a shared-secret key. The no cable shared-secretcommand sets the cable shared-secret back to the default.

Use the cable shared-secretcommand to authenticate the cable modem such that all cable modems must return a text string to register for access to the network.

If the no cable shared-secretcommand is enabled on the CMTS, secret key checking is not available on any cable modem. If shared-secret is configured on CMTS, cable modems have to use the secret key obtained from the CM configuration files obtained from the TFTP server.
