CPE Provisioning
DOCSIS 3.0 CM
- When a DOCSIS 3.0 CM is provisioned, the CM can then support CPE
devices with either a single IPv4/IPv6 stack or dual stack hosts as long
as the MAC domain is configured for both address families
- For this to work, Multicast DSID Forwarding must be enabled so that the
IPv6 Stack maintenance (which is performed over IP Multicast e.g.
Solicited Node/ Neighbor Discovery), can be forwarded properly to and
from the CMTS.
DOCSIS 2.0+IPv6
- There are generally 2 types of modems here
GMAC Explicit
MDF Incapable
- To support IPv6 based CPE behind the Cable Modem, the GMAC
Explicit CM needs both the DSID for the labeled traffic as well as the
MAC address for the filtering
- MDF incapable CMs must rely on other methods to support IPv6 CPE
(e.g. Allow all 33:33 based multicast through the CM)
