(Optional) Specifies the minimum power adjustment, in dB, that
constitutes a flap-list event.
cable flap-list power-adjust threshold db
Example:
Router(config)# cable flap-list
Step 4
A threshold of less than 2 dB can cause excessive flap-list
event recording. If you need to change this parameter from its
default, Cisco recommends setting it to 3 dB or higher.

(Optional) Specifies the number of MAC-layer station maintenance
(keepalive) messages that can be missed in succession before the CMTS
places the cable modem in the flap list.

A high miss rate indicates potential plant problems, such as
intermittent upstream problems, fiber laser clipping, or
common-path distortion.
Note
