Set Up Vendor-Specific Information Fields

This procedure is used to set up the vendor-specific information fields (VSIFs) to provision DOCSIS 1.0 and DOCSIS 1.0+ modems.

Note: The top two fields (Vendor ID and Vendor Specific Info) apply to any DOCSIS 1.0 modems. The IOS Filename field applies to all Cisco uBR9xx DOCSIS 1.0 modems. The last two fields (Number of Phone Lines and IP Precedence) apply only to the Cisco uBR924 DOCSIS 1.0+ modems.

Procedure

To set up the VSIFs, follow this procedure:

This allows you to get the Cisco IOS configuration file from the web. The Cisco DOCSIS CPE Configurator provides two ways to get the Cisco IOS configuration file: a.
