The CMTS is an advanced router...
It has a handshaking protocol. Standard routers dont. So access to the CMTS is done through an automated process, AKA , Handshaking Protocol. If the Network Device accessing doesnt submit certain verification OIDS, it is denied or re-booted (DocsDevReset), thus the continual re-boot some complain of. If it does submit the requested OIDS, but is not provisioned, then it is "Operational" but no "Public" IP is given. It is in a sense, "parked" behinf the private side of the CMTS. I have said, and some do know, there is a way to make this all happen.....
