You can use the Modem Registrar user interface to define and configure option sets for cable modems manufactured by specific vendors as described in this chapter. Typically, the default option set contains most of the DOCSIS options that apply to a cable modem. The vendor option sets contain those options that apply specifically to a vendor's cable modem. Modem Registrar does not require that you create vendor options sets and does not require you to define DOCSIS options for the option sets. You can choose to create vendor option sets that do not contain any options.
