cable tftp-enforce
To require that all CMs on a cable interface attempt to download a DOCSIS configuration file using the

come online, use the cable tftp-enforce command in cable interface configuration mode. To disable this
feature, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines The cable tftp-enforce cable interface configuration command requires all cable modems on a cable
interface to attempt a TFTP request for the DOCSIS configuration file through the cable interface with
the Cisco CMTS router before being allowed to register and come online. This can help prevent the
following situations from occurring:

Modification
This command was introduced for the Cisco uBR7100 series and
Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers.
CMs that fail the TFTP checked are now marked with a reject(c) error in the
show cable modem
to be consistent with the behavior in the Release 12.2 BC train.
Support for this command was added to the 12.2 BC release train for the
Cisco uBR7100 series, Cisco uBR7200 series, and Cisco uBR10012
universal broadband routers.
The command was enhanced on the Cisco uBR10012 router to prevent the
router from rejecting cable modems that did properly download a DOCSIS
configuration file. See the
section on page
Users who attempt theft-of-service by reconfiguring their local networks to allow the downloading
of an unauthorized DOCSIS configuration file from a local TFTP server. Typically, some users do
this to obtain services that they have not paid for, such as higher guaranteed bandwidths or a higher
priority Quality of Service (QoS) profile.
(Optional) Allow CMs to come online without attempting to download
a DOCSIS configuration file through the Cisco CMTS cable interface,
but prints a warning message and marks those CMs with a pound sign
(#) in the show cable modem
command, instead of the original reject(m) error, so as
