Chapter 2 Cisco CMTS Configuration Commands
packetcable authorize vanilla-docsis-mta
packetcable authorize vanilla-docsis-mta
To allow Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS) service flows without a proper PacketCable gate ID when
PacketCable operations are enabled on the Cisco CMTS, use the
packetcable authorize vanilla-docsis-
mta
command in global configuration mode. To prevent CMs from requesting non-PacketCable UGS
service flows when PacketCable operations are enabled, use the
no
form of this command.
packetcable authorize vanilla-docsis-mta
no packetcable authorize vanilla-docsis-mta
Syntax Description
This command has no keywords or arguments.
Defaults
Non-PacketCable UGS service flows are not allowed when PacketCable operations are enabled.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
By default, when PacketCable operations are enabled (using the
packetcable
command), CMs must
follow the PacketCable protocol when requesting UGS service flows. This prevents DOCSIS CMs that
do not support PacketCable operations from using DOCSIS-style UGS service flows.
If you have a mixed network that contains both PacketCable and non-PacketCable DOCSIS CMs, you
can allow DOCSIS CMs to request UGS service flows by using the
packetcable authorize vanilla-
docsis-mta
command. If, however, your CMTS is providing PacketCable services, use the
no
packetcable authorize vanilla-docsis-mta
command to disable DOCSIS-style service flows. This is the
default configuration when PacketCable operations are enabled, and it requires that CMs must provide
a validly authorized gate ID before being granted a UGS service flow.
Examples
The following example shows PacketCable operation being enabled, while still allowing DOCSIS-style
UGS service flows:
Router#
configure terminal
Router(config)#
packetcable
Router(config)#
packetcable authorize vanilla-docsis-mta
Router(config)#
The
show packetcable global
command has also been enhanced to display whether non-PacketCable
DOCSIS-style UGS service flows are allowed:
Router#
show packetcable global
