To allow Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS) service flows without a proper PacketCable gate ID when
PacketCable operations are enabled on the Cisco CMTS, use the packetcable authorize vanilla-docsis-
mta command in global configuration mode. To prevent CMs from requesting non-PacketCable UGS
service flows when PacketCable operations are enabled, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
By default, when PacketCable operations are enabled (using the
follow the PacketCable protocol when requesting UGS service flows. This prevents DOCSIS CMs that
do not support PacketCable operations from using DOCSIS-style UGS service flows.
If you have a mixed network that contains both PacketCable and non-PacketCable DOCSIS CMs, you
can allow DOCSIS CMs to request UGS service flows by using the packetcable authorize vanilla-
docsis-mta command. If, however, your CMTS is providing PacketCable services, use the no
packetcable authorize vanilla-docsis-mta command to disable DOCSIS-style service flows. This is the
default configuration when PacketCable operations are enabled, and it requires that CMs must provide
a validly authorized gate ID before being granted a UGS service flow.
Examples
The following example shows PacketCable operation being enabled, while still allowing DOCSIS-style
UGS service flows:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# packetcable
