Change DHCT Status to Out-of-Service With the 2way2oos Utility
Overview
Introduction
System operators sometimes need a way to reclaim IP addresses of DHCTs that have
been disconnected but never officially changed to “out-of-service” in the database. A
DHCT that is no longer in use must have a status of out-of-service in the database in
order for the system operator to use the IP address of the DHCT again. Systems that
do not reclaim these IP addresses may run out of IP addresses when they try to
deploy new DHCTs in the homes of subscribers.
Cisco engineers developed the 2way2oos utility to change the status of DHCTs to
Cisco engineers developed the 2way2oos utility to change the status of DHCTs to
out-of-service in the database. System operators prepare a text file that contains a list
of MAC addresses of DHCTs that they want to change to out-of-service and then use
this text file as a parameter when they run the 2way2oos utility. The instructions in
this chapter provide guidelines for preparing the text file and for running the
2way2oos utility.
