Configure the CMTS

1.1. 1. Open CMTS Setup Page

Go to Provisioining –> CMTS

See the "Assigned Config" –> "Setup"

• Follow Setup Instructions for a first default config
  
  

  Open

  

  Setup Blade for default config

1.2. 2. Add  the CMTS to the Provisioning Servers routing

Follow the instruction on CMTS "Routing / IPs" and add these lines in your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-... file

Open

Setup for routing

1.2.1. 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

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:

1. change the key in /tftpboot/keyfile. The key in the file will be used, to encrypt all DOCSIS configfiles.

2. change shared secret statement inside the CMTS

   interface cable <...> cable shared-secret 7 <the secret>
