Usage Guidelines
The debug commands are primarily intended for use in controlled test and troubleshooting situations
with a limited volume of traffic. In particular, avoid using the debug cable arp command on an interface
with a significant number of CMs, because the resulting volume of debug output could impact system
performance. Cisco recommends that when you use the debug cable arp command, you limit its output
to a particular interface or CM, using the
commands.
Examples
The following shows typical output for a particular cable modem using the debug cable arp command:
Router# debug cable arp
CMTS arp debugging is on
Router# debug cable mac-address 0020.4072.7418
ARPGLEAN cmts glean idb Cable3/0 MAC 0020.4072.7418 SID 2 ipaddr 31.0.0.2
