cable load-balance group (interface configuration)
cable load-balance group (interface configuration)
To assign a downstream cable interface to a load-balance group, use the
cable load-balance group
command in interface configuration mode. To remove a downstream from a load-balance group, use the
no
form of this command.

Syntax Description
Defaults
A downstream is not assigned to a load-balance group. When you use this command to add a downstream
to a group, it also automatically adds all of the associated upstreams to the same group, unless you have
also used the
cable upstream load-balance group
command to assign the upstreams to different groups.
Command Modes
Interface configuration (cable interface only)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
After you have used the
cable load-balance group (global configuration)
command to initially create
and configure a load-balance group, use the
cable load-balance group (interface configuration)
command to assign this load-balance group to a downstream. This enables the cable interface to begin
participating in load-balancing operations.
Tip
Use the
cable upstream load-balance group
command to assign this load-balance group to an
upstream.
The following rules apply when creating and assigning load-balance groups:
•
A downstream or upstream can belong to only one load-balance group.
•
All downstreams and upstreams in a load-balance group must share physical radio frequency (RF)
connectivity to the same group of cable modems. Downstreams can be in a separate load-balance
group than upstreams, but all downstreams or all upstreams that have the same RF physical
connectivity must be members of the same load-balance group. You cannot distribute downstreams
or upstreams that share physical connectivity across multiple load-balance groups.
n
Specifies the number of the load-balance group to which the downstream
should be assigned. The valid range is 1 to 20.
