modem being blocked by Ranging Response denial

[jofre]

I noticed something new and terrible happening here

the cmts is blocking cloned macs by some kind of denial of Ranging response

was working fine, but than, boom, won't pass the ranging state
here's the telenet log:

Code:

Logging event: No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out (US 1)
RNG-RSP  Stat=Abort
0x00017962 [CmDocsisCtlThread] BcmCmDocsisCtlThread::RngRspMsgEvent:  (CmDocsisCtlThr
ead) Received a RNG-RSP with ABORT!  Going elsewhere...
0x00017962 [CmDocsisCtlThread] BcmCmDocsisCtlThread::CommonRngErrorHandler:  (CmDocsi
sCtlThread)  reason: 7 (kRngRspAbortStatus)
0x00017962 [CmDocsisCtlThread] BcmCmDocsisCtlThread::TargetNextUsChan:  (CmDocsisCtlT
hread)
0x00017962 [CmDocsisCtlThread] BcmCmDocsisCtlThread::ResetRngState:  (CmDocsisCtlThre
ad)

Received a RNG-RSP with ABORT! - not good

any ideas?

CMTS is denying you access to the network. MAC collision, access list.. take your pick

[jofre]

CMTS is denying you access to the network

precisely!

but I don't understand exactly how they are doing it
the mac is in a different node

the whitelist is based on mac address per node?

no way around this, I suppose?

Where you at? Must be a a particular area in a big city with high tos detection on your isp so they stepped up the game by inter-intranode detection. Betting that you can take certs from an area not so close to your location and it'll work. If it's new sec deployment, it goes (or used to go) little by little so try soon and map your area.
