Chapter 2 Cisco Cable Modem Termination System Commands
cable modem max-cpe—Sets the maximum number of hosts for all CMs using the Cisco CMTS
router.
The more specific commands override the settings of the less specific commands. For example, if you
use the cable modem max-cpe command to set the maximum number of hosts to 2 for all CMs, you can
still use the cable modem max-hosts command to give a particular CM a larger maximum host value.
Note The CMTS assigns the MAX Host value to a cable modem at the time that the cable modem registers
with the CMTS. Changing any of the MAX Host commands affects only cable modems that register after
the change.
Tip For more information on how these commands interact to set the maximum CPE values, see the chapter
Maximum CPE or Host Parameters for the Cisco Cable Modem Termination System in the
Cisco CMTS Feature Guide, available on Cisco.com and the Documentation CD-ROM.
Note The “Number of CPES” field in the show cable modem command shows the maximum CPE value for
the CM, not the value for the CMTS that is set by the cable modem max-cpe command.
