Cisco Cisco Prime Cable Provisioning 5.1 Release Notes

In addition to the PacketCable 2.0 support on IPv4 (in both PacketCable Basic and Secure modes), 
Prime Cable Provisioning 5.1 also supports PacketCable 2.0 on IPv6 in PacketCable Basic mode.

In this release, the RDU HA (High Availability) setup in the Primary-Secondary mode is enhanced to 
support the following functionalities:

Dual Ring Support on the cluster, for providing heartbeat redundancy at network level

Automatic Split Brain Recovery Policies

RDU HA notifications through email

This release also supports four additional modes of RDU HA installation (in addition to the 
Primary-Secondary mode introduced in the previous release):

Primary Only

Secondary Only

Configure HA (creating HA cluster from existing Primary Only and Secondary Only modes)

Recovery (recovering a corrupted RDU node by synchronizing with the active RDU node) 

For information on how to setup RDU HA in these five modes, refer to the 

.

Prime Cable Provisioning supports provisioning of dual-stack capable CableLabs devices (DOCSIS 3.0 
or PacketCable 2.0 compliant). When dual-stack is enabled, DPE caches both IPv4 and IPv6 
configuration details. The IPv4 configuration is stored using the MAC address and the IPv6 is stored 
using its DUID and none of the configuration details are deleted. 

You can enable or disable dual-stack provisioning either from the Admin UI or using the API without 
restarting the RDU. Dual stack provisioning can be specified at any acceptable point in the property 
hierarchy. You can use the Device, Provisioning Group, Class of Service, DHCP Criteria, and 
Technology Defaults properties to accomplish this.
