Usage Guidelines
If you suspect a particular CM is generating a large volume of ARP traffic, you can enable debugging
for that particular CM using the
debug cable arp
command. If the ARP traffic is excessive, you can
enable ARP filtering on the associated cable interface using the
cable arp filter
command. To show the
results of that ARP filtering, use the
debug cable arp filter
command.
Tip
Because this command can produce a large volume of debug information, it does not produce any output
until you first limit debugging output to a particular Service ID (SID) or one or more particular CM MAC
addresses, using the
debug cable interface sid
or
debug cable mac-address
commands, respectively.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable debugging messages for ARP filtering for a particular MAC
address, and samples of the typical messages that can be displayed:
Router#
debug cable mac-address 000C.0102.0304
Router#
debug cable arp filter
CMTS arp filter debugging is ON
Router#
