Introduction

For information on new features and Cisco IOS commands supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1, see the "New and Changed Information" section and the "Related Documentation" section.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1 supports the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router, which provides a high-capacity, high-throughput cable modem termination system (CMTS), optimized for aggregating traffic at the edge of the cable network. Designed for cable operators and service providers, the platform connects residential subscribers via cable modems, digital set-top boxes, or IP telephony cable modems for high-speed data, broadband entertainment, and IP telephony solutions.

The Cisco uBR10012 router has been designed as a high-capacity platform that places a new level of intelligence at the edge of the network, enabling cable service providers to maximize their revenues by delivering more feature-rich services to their customers. The Cisco uBR10012 router uses the industry-proven Parallel eXpress Forwarding (PXF) technology, derived from the Cisco ESR10000 Edge Services Router, to provide consistent, high-performance throughput, even as software features are added and additional services are deployed.

In addition, it supports a variety of broadband access technologies, including Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS), gigabit ethernet, and optical. With support for multiple standards, operators can choose the appropriate services and devices to optimize their capital investment with a single CMTS platform. With access to current and future software enhancements, the Cisco uBR10012 also ensures investment protection as standards and customer needs continue to evolve.

Cable companies and Internet service providers (ISPs) can allocate radio frequency (RF) channel capacity for Internet access or high priority services using a hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) or an all-coax cable plant. Cisco currently provides two router-based DOCSIS CMTS solutions that offer a wider feature set and better manageability than bridge-based systems.

Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router

The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router brings the powerful performance and proven reliability of the industry-leading, DOCSIS-qualified Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router product line to the next level of performance, capacity, and throughput. The Cisco uBR10012 platform provides a complete, easy-to-use, integrated router and cable modem termination system (CMTS) package, with feature-rich software and unparalleled customer service and support. With access to current and future software enhancements, the Cisco uBR10012 routers also ensure investment protection as standards evolve.

The Cisco uBR10012 router supports up to eight cable interface line cards for connection to subscriber cable modems (CMs) and set-top boxes (STBs). Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1 supports the Cisco uBR-LCP-MC16C, Cisco uBR-LCP-MC16E, Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C, and Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C-BNC cable interface line cards.

For connection to the Internet and other networks, the Cisco uBR10012 router supports up to four network uplink line cards, each of which can support connections as fast as 1Gb/s (Gigabit Ethernet). Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1 supports OC-12 POS and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

Note This guide focuses on Cisco uBR10012 software. For detailed descriptions of the Cisco uBR10012 router chassis and components, see the hardware documents listed in the "Related Documentation" section.

Cisco uBR10012 Router Cable Interface

The cable interface in the Cisco uBR10012 router serves as the RF cable TV interface, supporting downstream and upstream signals. The downstream is output as an IF signal suitable for use with an external upconverter. Your cable plant, combined with your planned and installed subscriber base, service offering, and external network connections, determines what combination of Cisco uBR10012 cable interfaces, network uplink line cards, and other components that you should use.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1 supports the following cable interface line cards, which can be installed in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis in any combination:

•Cisco uBR-LCP-MC16C line card, based on the existing Cisco uBR-MC16C line card, with one downstream and six upstreams.

•Cisco uBR-LCP-MC16E line card, based on the existing Cisco uBR-MC16E line card, with one downstream and six upstreams.

•Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C line card, based on the existing Cisco uBR-MC28C line card, with two downstreams and eight upstreams divided into two domains. This provides the ability to support a large volume of cable modem subscribers using only one chassis.

•Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C-BNC line card, based on the existing Cisco uBR-MC28C-BNC line card, with two downstreams and eight upstreams divided into two domains. This line card is identical to the Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C line card except that it uses BNC connectors instead of F-connectors to connect the downstream and upstream cables.

Note Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C in this document refer to both the Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C and Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C-BNC versions of the card.

All cable interface line cards, except for the Cisco uBR-LCP-MC16E, support the Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS). DOCSIS supports the 6 MHz North American channel plans using the ITU J.83 Annex B RF standard. The downstream uses a 6 MHz channel width in the 85 to 860 MHz frequency range, and the upstream supports the 5 to 42 MHz frequency range.

The Cisco uBR-LCP-MC16E cable interface line card supports the European Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (EuroDOCSIS). EuroDOCSIS supports the 8 MHz Phase Alternating Line (PAL) and Systeme Electronique Couleur Avec Memoire (SECAM) channel plans using the ITU J.112 Annex A RF standard. The downstream uses an 8 MHz channel width in the 85 to 860 MHz frequency range, and the upstream supports multiple channel widths in the 5 to 65 MHz frequency range.

Important Notes

The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1 that apply to the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router.

Avoiding the Dropping of SNMP Traps

When the snmp-server enable traps command is given without any options, it enables all traps, which can generate a significant number of traps at key events, such as system power-up. If the SNMP queue is not large enough to handle all of the traps, new traps will be dropped without notification until the existing traps are sent and slots become available in the queue.

You can do two things to avoid dropping traps in this situation:

•Increase the SNMP trap queue size. The default queue size is 10, which is insufficient to handle all traps. Use the snmp-server queue-length length global configuration command to increase the queue size. The length parameter can range from 10 to 1000. Increase the queue size until traps are no longer dropped.

•Disable unneeded SNMP traps. For example, if you do not need SYSLOG traps (which are sent for every message displayed on the console), disable those traps as follows:
router(config)# snmp-server enable traps 
router(config)# no snmp-server enable traps syslog 
Cable Monitor Support

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1 supports the cable monitor command, but earlier releases of software for the Cisco uBR10012 router do not support this feature.

Configuring the Routing Protocol Causes a Reset of the Cable Modems

Be aware that when configuring a routing protocol on an interface, the Cisco IOS software must reset the interface to enable the change. This normally does not significantly affect operations on the interface, except that when this is done on a cable interface, it causes all cable modems on that particular downstream to reinitialize, potentially interfering with data transmission on that downstream. Therefore you should use the interface configuration commands, such as router rip, on a cable interface only when a minimum of subscribers would be affected.

Limitation on Vendor-Specific Information in the DOCSIS Configuration File

DOCSIS requires that when the cable modem sends its Registration Request (REG-REQ) message to the CMTS, it must include the configuration information found in the DOCSIS configuration file. This configuration information must include all vendor-specific information fields (VSIF). Because MAC-layer management messages, such as REG-REQ, have a maximum data size of 1522 bytes, this limits the amount of VSIF information that can be included in the DOCSIS configuration file.

In particular, the maximum packet size imposes a limit on the number of Cisco IOS CLI commands you can include as VSIF fields in the DOCSIS configuration file. The exact number of commands that will fit depends on the other configuration information included in the file, as well as the length of each command.

If the REG-REQ message is larger than 1522 bytes, the cable modem will likely report errors similar to the following errors that appears on Cisco uBR900 series cable access routers:
%LINK-4-TOOBIG: Interface cable-modem0, Output packet size of 1545 bytes too big
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface cable-modem0, changed state to down
In addition, the CMTS will also report that the cable modem timed out during the registration process. If this occurs, you can try the following steps:

•Reduce the length of the commands by using the abbreviated form of the command. For example, you can specify the int c0 instead of the full command interface cable-modem 0.

•SNMP MIB objects are not included in the Registration Request message, so wherever possible, replace the CLI commands with the corresponding SNMP MIB object statements in the DOCSIS configuration file.

•If a large number of CLI commands must be given, use VSIF option 128 to download a Cisco IOS configuration file to the cable modem.

For complete details on what is included in the REG-REQ message, see Chapter 6 of the current DOCSIS 1.1 specification (SP-RFIv1.1-I07-010829 or later).

Minimum Revision for the Cisco uBR-LCP Line Card Processor

The Cisco uBR-LCP line processor card must be at revision 4.4 or greater and be using the boothelper image from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XF1 or later to support the Cisco uBR-MC16C and Cisco uBR-MC16E cable interface line cards.

Redundant PRE Modules Are Not Supported Before Release 12.2(4)XF

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1 introduces support for the Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) feature for the Performance Routing Engine (PRE) cards. This allows two PRE modules to be installed in a Cisco uBR10012 chassis for redundant operation.

Earlier releases of software for the Cisco uBR10012 router do not support RPR. In these earlier releases, two PRE modules can be installed in a Cisco uBR10012 chassis, but Cisco does not guarantee that upon a failure of the primary PRE module, the redundant PRE module can automatically bring up all DOCSIS cable interface line cards.

For more information about the RPR feature, see the Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) on the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router feature module, available on Cisco.com and the Customer Documentation CD-ROM.

Web Cache Communication Protocol Is Not Supported

The Cisco uBR10012 router does not support the Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) feature set in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF.

New and Changed Information

The following sections list the new hardware and software features supported by the Cisco uBR10012 router for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF1.

New Hardware Features in Release 12.2(4)XF1

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF supports the following for new hardware features.

Cisco uBR-RFSW RF Switch

The Cisco uBR-RFSW RF Switch provides the physical cabling support for the N+1 Redundancy for the Cisco CMTS feature, which allows a single cable interface to act as the protect interface for up to 7 cable interfaces in the Cisco uBR10012 router, thereby significantly reducing the cost of providing redundant operation. The cable interface connections are made through the Cisco uBR-RFSW RF Switch, which provides the connections required for both upstream and downstream port redundancy.

Note For complete information about the Cisco uBR-RFSW RF Switch, see the documents in the Cisco uBR-RFSW RF Switch documentation directory on Cisco.com.

New Software Feature in Release 12.2(4)XF1

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF includes support for the following new software features.

N+1 Redundancy for the Cisco CMTS

The N+1 Redundancy for the Cisco CMTS feature extends the existing HCCP 1+1 cable interface redundancy feature, where one cable interface is designated the working interface, and a second cable interface is the protect interface. The protect interface comes online only when the working interface fails.

The N+1 Redundancy feature allows a single cable interface to act as the protect interface for up to 7 cable interfaces in the Cisco uBR10012 router, thereby significantly reducing the cost of providing redundant operation. The cable interface connections are made through the Cisco uBR-RFSW RF Switch.

Note For complete information about the N+1 Redundancy feature, see the N+1 Redundancy for the Cisco CMTS chapter in the Cisco CMTS Feature Guide.

New Hardware Features in Release 12.2(4)XF

PRE 1 Performance Routing Engine

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF adds support for the PRE1 Performance Routing Engine processor card on the Cisco uBR10012 router. The PRE1 module enhances the existing PRE module functionality by adding support for Error Checking and Correction (ECC) for all onboard memory, replacing the simpler parity error algorithm.

Where parity error detection can only detect errors, the ECC feature helps protect against processor downtime by correcting errors as well as detecting them. The PRE1 module can automatically correct single-bit errors as small as 1 bit per nibble, protecting the PRE1 module from memory corruption due to transient memory problems.

The ECC feature is also more sensitive and precise in detecting errors. The PRE1 module can detect an error in only 1 bit out of each 64-bit block. It can also detect errors in two, three, or four bits in each 64-bit block.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF automatically enables the ECC feature on PRE1 modules. Two CLI commands are also enhanced to provide information about ECC operation:

•show hardware pxf xcm—Adds a display for the ECC counters for each PRE1 module. For the older PRE modules, this command shows the message "ECC is not supported for this revision."

•clear pxf xcm counters—Adds support for clearing the ECC counters.

The show version command also indicates whether a PRE or PRE1 module is the active processor module.

Note The order number for the PRE1 module is UBR10-PRE1. The order number for a spare PRE1 module is UBR10-PRE1=.

DC PEM with Alarm Status Connector

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF supports the new model of the DC Power Entry Module (PEM), which is identical in form and function to the original DC PEM, except that the new model includes an RJ-45 connector on the front panel to connect to the power supply monitoring connector on the optional 2400-watt AC-input power shelf.

Note If you are not using the optional 2400-watt AC-input power shelf, both models of DC PEM are functionally identical.

New Software Feature in Release 12.2(4)XF

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF include supports for the following new software features.

Route Processor Redundancy Support

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF introduces support for Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) on the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. The RPR feature enables the Cisco uBR10012 to use two PRE or PRE1 modules in a redundant configuration, so that if the primary PRE or PRE1 module fails or becomes inactive, the system automatically performs a failover, where the secondary PRE or PRE1 module takes over and assumes full responsibility for systems operations.

The RPR feature does not require a full reboot of the system to perform a failover. When the system is originally initialized, the secondary PRE or PRE1 module performs an abbreviated initialization routine—the module performs all self-checks and loads the Cisco IOS software, but instead of performing normal systems operations it begins monitoring the primary PRE module. If the secondary PRE or PRE1 module detects a failure in the primary module, it can quickly assume the primary responsibility for systems operations.

Support for the cable monitor Command

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF supports the cable monitor command, which allows an external LAN packet analyzer or other server to monitor inbound and outbound data packets for specific types of traffic sent between the Cisco CMTS and the cable modems on a cable interface. This feature enables the CMTS administrator to analyze traffic problems with customer data exchanges. For complete information on configuring and using this feature, see the Cable Monitor for the Cisco CMTS chapter in the Cisco CMTS Feature Guide, available on Cisco.com and the Customer Documentation CD-ROM.

MIBs

Current MIBs

To obtain lists of supported MIBs by platform and Cisco IOS release, and to download MIB modules, go to the Cisco MIB web site on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.

Supported MIBs

The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router supports the following categories of MIBs:

•SNMP standard MIBs—These MIBs are required by any agent supporting SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 network management.

•Cisco's platform and network-layer enterprise MIBs—Common across most of Cisco's router platforms. If your network management applications are already configured to support other Cisco routers, such as the 2600 series router, no further configuration is needed unless the version of Cisco IOS software being used has updated these MIBs.

•Cable-specific MIBs—Provide information about the cable interfaces and related information on the Cisco uBR10012 router. They include both DOCSIS-specific MIBs and Cisco-specific enterprise MIBs. If your network management applications have not already been configured for the Cisco uBR10012 routers, these MIBs must be loaded.

•Deprecated MIBs—Supported in earlier releases of Cisco IOS software but have been replaced by more standardized, scalable MIBs. Network Management applications and scripts should convert to the replacement MIBs as soon as possible.

•CISCO-ENTITY-VENDORTYPE-OID-MIB

The cable-specific MIBs are described in the following section. For information on the SNMP standard MIBs and Cisco's platform and network-layer enterprise MIBs, see Cisco's MIB web site at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.

Cable-Specific MIBs

Table 5 shows the cable-specific MIBs that are supported on the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. The table also provides a brief description of each MIB's contents and the Cisco IOS Software Release in which the MIB was initially functional—earlier releases might have had unsupported prototype versions of the MIB; later releases might have added new attributes and functionality. Because of interdependencies, the MIBs must be loaded in the order given in the table.

Note The names given in Table 5 are the filenames for the MIBs as they exist on Cisco's FTP site (ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/ or http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml). Most MIBs are available in both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 versions; the SNMPv1 versions have V1SMI as part of their filenames.

Caveat ID Number

Description

CSCdt25186

The PRE module's FastEthernet interface will always autonegotiate its link speed and duplex settings, even if you have manually set those parameters. This does not impact operations, however, because the interface will automatically negotiate the correct settings and come online.

CSCdu81936

An ARP packet received by the router that has the router's own interface address but with a different MAC address can overwrite the router's own MAC address in the ARP table, causing that interface to stop sending and receiving traffic. This attack is successful only against interfaces on the Ethernet segment that is local to the attacking host.

The workaround for this vulnerability is to hard-code the interface's ARP table entry by using the arp ip-address hardware-address type [alias] command. This entry will remain in the ARP table until the clear arp command is issued.
CSCdu87551
Console messages similar to the following can appear on the PRE module console, indicating that the active TCC+ card has gone down and immediately come back up.
02:24:17: %IPCOIR-2-CARD_UP_DOWN: Card in slot 1/1 is down. 
02:24:17: %UBR10KTCC-1-NOTCC: No working TCCplus card available in 
the system
02:24:18: %IPCOIR-5-CARD_DETECTED: Card type 2cable-tccplus (0x2AF) 
in slot 1/1
02:24:18: %IPCOIR-2-CARD_UP_DOWN: Card in slot 1/1 is up. 
These messages are generated when the PRE module misses a keepalive message from the TCC+ card, but there is no system impact because the TCC+ card is still active and running. There is no workaround.
CSCdv02247

The Cisco uBR10012 router does not support the cable modem change-frequency, cable modem max-hosts, and cable modem qos commands.

CSCdv17163

Under rare circumstances, a GigE line card link can go down after a PRE reload. Possible workarounds are to reenable the interface using the shutdown and no shutdown commands, or to not use autonegotiation on the link.
CSCdv17552
The cable interface line card can crash at bootup with the following message:
%CRYPTO-0-SELF_TEST_FAILURE: Encryption self-test failed. 
The workaround is to reload the cable interface line card.
CSCdv36206

When a cable interface line card is under severe load, the card might generate the following error message and reload: "ipc_send_message_blocked timed_out (Cause: timeout)". The workaround is to reduce the number of cable modems on the line card.
CSCdv69668
A faulty external T1 reference signal can generate the following errors and reset the TCC+ card:
01:39:12: %UBR10KTCC-4-CHG_CLK_REF: Clock reference source changed 
01:39:43: %UBR10KTCC-2-LOS: Loss of signal with clock reference 
Primary T1 
01:39:43: %UBR10KTCC-4-CHG_CLK_REF: Clock reference source changed 
to Local oscillator 
01:39:56: %IPCOIR-2-CARD_UP_DOWN: Card in slot 2/1 is down. 
01:39:56: %IPCGRP-3-CMDOP: IPC command 19 (slot2/1): line card ipc 
is disabled - dropping non-blocking ipc command
CSCdv77670

In rare circumstances, the router can crash when giving the show cable modem command. This can occur when a cable modem is deleted from an internal data structure at the same time the show command is accessing the data structure. There is no workaround.

CSCdv86324

Multicast packets are not forwarded to the correct slave interface in bundled interfaces. There is no workaround.

CSCdw07630

When the EIGRP or RIP routing protocols are configured on a WAN interface, and the shutdown and no shutdown commands are given on a working WAN interface to force a switchover, the routing tables are not updated to reflect the switchover to the protect interface. This does not occur during an unscheduled switchover of the interface.

Possible workarounds are to use the hccp switch command to force a switchover instead of the shutdown command, or to reset the interface card.

CSCdw19230

When logging in using AAA authentication, users can enter the proper enable password but authentication can fail. The workaround is to reattempt the login, and the authentication usually then succeeds.

CSCdw25801

If the operator uses hccp commands to configure a live N+1 cable interface (with working and protect routers), the working interface might crash while trying to send a registration response to a modem. A workaround is to add the HCCP configuration commands at initial system provisioning, or if that is not possible, to use the hccp lockout command to remove the working interface from its group while configuring the interface.

CSCdw30013

When HCCP redundancy is configured, and 2000 or more cable modems are connected to a single working Cisco uBR-MC28 cable interface line card, false switch-overs can occur during moderate to high traffic conditions. The protect and working line cards will "flap" back and forth in these conditions. The workaround is to distribute the cable modems more evenly across the cable interface cards.

Description

CSCdv13224

In rare situations, the upstream on a slave interface in a bundle might stop passing traffic when the downstream traffic on the interface exceeds 70 kpps on a continuous basis for approximately 4 hours. The workaround is to reduce the downstream traffic below 60 kpps or so for a few moments to clear the upstream.

CSCdv86213

The router can crash at boot when adding an entry for the clock card in the SNMP MIB. There is no workaround.

CSCdw13008

Dynamic routes that are learned through routing protocols such as RIP and OSPF are not correctly populated in the processor's routing tables, which causes those routes to be unusable during packet processing. Possible workarounds are to use static routes on the router, or to turn on tag-switching on any one interface.

Possible workarounds are to turn DNS domain lookup off with the no ip domain-lookup command, or to create a host entry for the problem hostname using the ip host command.

CSCdv54518

Fast-switching on the cable interface does not work. Possible workarounds are to enable CEF on the incoming (backhaul) interface or to disable fast-switching on the outgoing cable interface.

Timing, Communication and Control Plus (TCC+) card	The TCC+ card can connect to an external reference Stratum 3 clock source that is traceable to a Stratum 1 source. Two such sources can be connected for redundancy. The TCC+ card also monitors the cable line cards and power supply use, as well as control the LCD display screen on the chassis. Two cards can be installed for redundancy.
Performance Routing Engine (PRE or PRE1)	One PRE or PRE1 module performs layer 2 and layer 3 packet processing, as well as routing and system management functions. Two PRE or PRE1 modules can be installed for redundancy. Note The PRE1 module is functionally identical to the PRE module except that it adds support for the Error Checking and Correction (ECC) feature, which can automatically correct single-bit memory errors.
DC-input Power Entry Module (PEM)	Two DC PEMs provide power to the chassis. The use of two PEMs provide power balancing and redundancy, as well as the ability to hot-swap a single power supply when needed.
Fan assembly module	The fan assembly module contains four fans that are capable of cooling the chassis even with the failure of a single fan. The fan assembly is dual-speed, providing additional cooling when the chassis temperature exceeds the nominal operating range.

Table 7 Open Caveats for Release 12.2(4)XF1
Caveat ID Number	Description
CSCdt25186	The PRE module's FastEthernet interface will always autonegotiate its link speed and duplex settings, even if you have manually set those parameters. This does not impact operations, however, because the interface will automatically negotiate the correct settings and come online.
CSCdu81936	An ARP packet received by the router that has the router's own interface address but with a different MAC address can overwrite the router's own MAC address in the ARP table, causing that interface to stop sending and receiving traffic. This attack is successful only against interfaces on the Ethernet segment that is local to the attacking host. The workaround for this vulnerability is to hard-code the interface's ARP table entry by using the arp ip-address hardware-address type [alias] command. This entry will remain in the ARP table until the clear arp command is issued.
CSCdu87551	Console messages similar to the following can appear on the PRE module console, indicating that the active TCC+ card has gone down and immediately come back up. 02:24:17: %IPCOIR-2-CARD_UP_DOWN: Card in slot 1/1 is down. 02:24:17: %UBR10KTCC-1-NOTCC: No working TCCplus card available in the system 02:24:18: %IPCOIR-5-CARD_DETECTED: Card type 2cable-tccplus (0x2AF) in slot 1/1 02:24:18: %IPCOIR-2-CARD_UP_DOWN: Card in slot 1/1 is up. These messages are generated when the PRE module misses a keepalive message from the TCC+ card, but there is no system impact because the TCC+ card is still active and running. There is no workaround.
CSCdv02247	The Cisco uBR10012 router does not support the cable modem change-frequency, cable modem max-hosts, and cable modem qos commands.
CSCdv17163	Under rare circumstances, a GigE line card link can go down after a PRE reload. Possible workarounds are to reenable the interface using the shutdown and no shutdown commands, or to not use autonegotiation on the link.
CSCdv17552	The cable interface line card can crash at bootup with the following message: %CRYPTO-0-SELF_TEST_FAILURE: Encryption self-test failed. The workaround is to reload the cable interface line card.
CSCdv36206	When a cable interface line card is under severe load, the card might generate the following error message and reload: "ipc_send_message_blocked timed_out (Cause: timeout)". The workaround is to reduce the number of cable modems on the line card.
CSCdv69668	A faulty external T1 reference signal can generate the following errors and reset the TCC+ card: 01:39:12: %UBR10KTCC-4-CHG_CLK_REF: Clock reference source changed 01:39:43: %UBR10KTCC-2-LOS: Loss of signal with clock reference Primary T1 01:39:43: %UBR10KTCC-4-CHG_CLK_REF: Clock reference source changed to Local oscillator 01:39:56: %IPCOIR-2-CARD_UP_DOWN: Card in slot 2/1 is down. 01:39:56: %IPCGRP-3-CMDOP: IPC command 19 (slot2/1): line card ipc is disabled - dropping non-blocking ipc command
CSCdv77670	In rare circumstances, the router can crash when giving the show cable modem command. This can occur when a cable modem is deleted from an internal data structure at the same time the show command is accessing the data structure. There is no workaround.
CSCdv86324	Multicast packets are not forwarded to the correct slave interface in bundled interfaces. There is no workaround.
CSCdw07630	When the EIGRP or RIP routing protocols are configured on a WAN interface, and the shutdown and no shutdown commands are given on a working WAN interface to force a switchover, the routing tables are not updated to reflect the switchover to the protect interface. This does not occur during an unscheduled switchover of the interface. Possible workarounds are to use the hccp switch command to force a switchover instead of the shutdown command, or to reset the interface card.
CSCdw19230	When logging in using AAA authentication, users can enter the proper enable password but authentication can fail. The workaround is to reattempt the login, and the authentication usually then succeeds.
CSCdw25801	If the operator uses hccp commands to configure a live N+1 cable interface (with working and protect routers), the working interface might crash while trying to send a registration response to a modem. A workaround is to add the HCCP configuration commands at initial system provisioning, or if that is not possible, to use the hccp lockout command to remove the working interface from its group while configuring the interface.
CSCdw30013	When HCCP redundancy is configured, and 2000 or more cable modems are connected to a single working Cisco uBR-MC28 cable interface line card, false switch-overs can occur during moderate to high traffic conditions. The protect and working line cards will "flap" back and forth in these conditions. The workaround is to distribute the cable modems more evenly across the cable interface cards.

Table 8 Closed and Resolved Caveats for Release 12.2(4)XF1
Caveat ID Number	Description
CSCdv13224	In rare situations, the upstream on a slave interface in a bundle might stop passing traffic when the downstream traffic on the interface exceeds 70 kpps on a continuous basis for approximately 4 hours. The workaround is to reduce the downstream traffic below 60 kpps or so for a few moments to clear the upstream.
CSCdv86213	The router can crash at boot when adding an entry for the clock card in the SNMP MIB. There is no workaround.
CSCdw13008	Dynamic routes that are learned through routing protocols such as RIP and OSPF are not correctly populated in the processor's routing tables, which causes those routes to be unusable during packet processing. Possible workarounds are to use static routes on the router, or to turn on tag-switching on any one interface.

Table 9 Open Caveats for Release 12.2(4)XF
Caveat ID Number	Description
CSCdt25186	The PRE module's FastEthernet interface will always autonegotiate its link speed and duplex settings, even if you have manually set those parameters. This does not impact operations, however, because the interface will automatically negotiate the correct settings and come online.
CSCdu81936	An ARP packet received by the router that has the router's own interface address but with a different MAC address can overwrite the router's own MAC address in the ARP table, causing that interface to stop sending and receiving traffic.

The workaround for this vulnerability is to hard-code the interface's ARP table entry by using the arp ip-address hardware-address type [alias] command. This entry will remain in the ARP table until the clear arp command is issued.
CSCdu87551	Console messages similar to the following can appear on the PRE module console, indicating that the active TCC+ card has gone down and immediately come back up. 02:24:17: %IPCOIR-2-CARD_UP_DOWN: Card in slot 1/1 is down. 02:24:17: %UBR10KTCC-1-NOTCC: No working TCCplus card available in the system 02:24:18: %IPCOIR-5-CARD_DETECTED: Card type 2cable-tccplus (0x2AF) in slot 1/1 02:24:18: %IPCOIR-2-CARD_UP_DOWN: Card in slot 1/1 is up. These messages are generated when the PRE module misses a keepalive message from the TCC+ card, but there is no system impact because the TCC+ card is still active and running. There is no workaround.
CSCdv02247	The Cisco uBR10012 router does not support the cable modem change-frequency, cable modem max-hosts, and cable modem qos commands.

CSCdv86324	Multicast packets are not forwarded to the correct slave interface in bundled interfaces. There is no workaround.

Table 10 Closed and Resolved Caveats for Release 12.2(4)XF
Caveat ID Number	Description
CSCdt93976	The router could reload when doing a DNS query to resolve an IP address to its respective DNS hostname. Only certain hostnames generate the problem, and the problem could appear whenever the router needs to display an IP address and hostname, as occurs with the show users and other CLI commands. Possible workarounds are to turn DNS domain lookup off with the no ip domain-lookup command, or to create a host entry for the problem hostname using the ip host command.
CSCdv54518	Fast-switching on the cable interface does not work. Possible workarounds are to enable CEF on the incoming (backhaul) interface or to disable fast-switching on the outgoing cable interface. This caveat is considered closed because it does not apply to the Cisco uBR10012 router and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)XF.

Table 11 Open Caveats for Release 12.2(2)XF1
Caveat ID Number	Description
CSCdu15467	PRE Redundancy: Modems go offline during failover.
CSCdv02247	The Cisco uBR10012 router does not support the cable modem change-frequency, cable modem max-hosts, and cable modem qos commands.
CSCdv17163	Under rare circumstances, a GigE line card link can go down after a PRE reload. Possible workarounds are to reenable the interface using the shutdown and no shutdown commands, or to not use autonegotiation on the link.
CSCdv17552	The cable interface line card can crash at bootup with the following message: %CRYPTO-0-SELF_TEST_FAILURE: Encryption self-test failed. The workaround is to reload the cable interface line card.
CSCdv36206	When a cable interface line card is under severe load, the card might generate the following error message and reload: "ipc_send_message_blocked timed_out (Cause: timeout)". The workaround is to reduce the number of cable modems on the line card.
CSCdv54518	Fast-switching on the cable interface does not work. Possible workarounds are to enable CEF on the incoming (backhaul) interface or to disable fast-switching on the outgoing cable interface.
