Description: The MIB will choose whether to enable downstream channel bonding for bonding-capable modems. Non-bonding modems will ignore this MIB object. 0 : Disable downstream channel bonding. 1 : Enable downstream channel bonding with all available RCP-IDs standard and proprietary. 2 : Enable downstream bonding but only advertise standard RCP-IDs with 2 DS channels. 3 : Enable downstream bonding but only advertise standard RCP-IDs with 3 or fewer DS channels. 4 : Enable downstream bonding but only advertise standard RCP-IDs with 4 or fewer DS channels. 5 : Not currently applicable (same as 1) 6 : Not currently applicable (same as 1) 7 : Not currently applicable (same as 1) 8 : Enable downstream bonding but only advertise standard RCP-IDs with 8 or fewer DS channels. This MIB will take effect at the next reboot. This MIB value will be stored to NonVolatile memory(NVM) and will persist across reboots. If the MIB is set via the config file, the CM will store the new setting and reboot if a change is necessary. Removing the setting from the config file will not change the value stored in NVM: the CM will continue to operate using the previously stored value. If an SNMP SET is used to modify the value, then the CM will not use the new setting until the next reboot occurs or is commanded. A factory reset of the CM will set the stored value back to 1.
