Command History
Usage Guidelines
This command sets the Network Access Control Object in the DOCSIS configuration file. If set to 1 (the
default of
no access-denied
), the CPE devices behind the CM are allowed to access the network. If set
to 0 (
access-denied
) to disable network access for the CPE devices, the CM must not forward traffic
from its attached CPE devices.
For normal operation, the CM must be set to allow access (the default). However, to deny service for
reasons such as nonpayment or unauthorized use of services, the
access-denied
command can be used.
Examples
The following example shows how to disable network access for the CPE devices that are connected to
the CM:
router(config)#
cable config-file disable.cm
router(config-file)#
access-denied
router(config-file)#
exit
