Motorola BSR 2000 manual Cable shared-secondary-secret

Release 1.0 CMTS Commands

cable shared-secondary-secret

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

Use the cable shared-secondary-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-secondary-secretcommand is enabled on the CMTS, secret key checking is not available on any cable modem. If shared-secondary-secret is configured on CMTS, cable modems have to use the secret key obtained from the CM configuration files obtained from the TFTP server.
