On a network with no DOCSIS 1.x modems, is there any downfall to enabling “cable privacy bpi-plus-policy total-enforcement” ? Also on a 10k it appears modems not supporting BPI+ are pushed to *online or *w-online status, guessing those have no network access. Cisco doesn’t make it easy to find documentation on that status.
Hi Scott,
The “*” symbol next to online state is added by DDTS “CSCtj59842” to display the modems that fail bpi-plus-policy. The DDTS Description says: “When modems fail the bpi-plus-policy, the modems come online(pt) but are blocked from sending l3 traffic using a per-device ACL. There is currently no easy way to see which modems are affected so a new symbol was added to show the modems that failed the bpi-plus-policy.”
No network access could also be online(d) where cm file disabled network access. Also check out https://volpefirm.com/intx-the-internet-television-expo-review/
