Instructions for setting up a CMTS and adding a provisioning server to it, including instructions for the cmts routing. |
1.1. 1. Open CMTS Setup Page
Go to Provisioining –> CMTS
See the "Assigned Config" –> "Setup"
Follow Setup Instructions for a first default config
1.2. 2. Add the CMTS to the Provisioning Servers routing
Step 2. is only required for Hosting your own Server. For Cloud Installation this will be done by the CMTS-Tunnel. |
Follow the instruction on CMTS "Routing / IPs" and add these lines in your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-... file
1.2.1. Restart Network
systemctl restart network |
NOTE: if red lines / errors appear: this means that there is a route in your route file missing or miss configured. You should (MUST) fix this!
1.3. 3. Check CMTS IP Bundle IPs
Check if the CMTS has the required Bundle IPs like proposed by this section. No red lines means everything is okay and reachable:
1.4. 4. Add SSH key
crypto key generate rsa general-keys modulus 1024 |
1.5. (5. optional: change shared secret)
NMS PRIME default shared secret is "DOCSIS". Changing this is recommand for production systems, since it is a security threat using default here. To change this do:
change the key in /tftpboot/keyfile. The key in the file will be used, to encrypt all DOCSIS configfiles.
change shared secret statement inside the CMTS
interface cable <...> cable shared-secret 7 <the secret>
