Adding Objects for CMTS Devices to the Directory with SDX Admin
To manage CMTS devices, the SAE creates and manages pseudointerfaces that it associates with a virtual router object in the directory. Each CMTS device in the SRC network must appear in the directory as a router object, and it must be associated with a virtual router object called default. The router and virtual router are not actually configured on the CMTS device; the router and virtual router in the directory provide a way for the SAE to manage the CMTS device by using the SAE's embedded policy server.
To add a CMTS device to the directory with SDX Admin:
The New EdgeDevice dialog box appears.
The name of the new device appears in the navigation pane, and information about the device appears in the EdgeDevice pane.

- Set the parameters in the Main tab of the EdgeDevice pane.
- Click Save in the EdgeDevice pane.
- Create a virtual router for the CMTS device. See Creating a Virtual Router for the CMTS Device with SDX Admin.
