Release Notes for Cisco uBR Advanced RF Switch
First Published: October 1, 2012OL-27626-01Introduction
This release notes contains new and changed information, hardware support, limitations and restrictions, and caveats for Cisco uBR Advanced RF Switch (Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV).
The Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV provides N+1 line card redundancy switching for the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. The Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV is a rack-mount unit controlled by the Cisco uBR10012 router.
The Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV is located between the Cisco uBR10012 router and the cable plant. All the Cisco uBR10012 RF downstream (DS) and RF upstream (US) ports are connected to one side of the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV while the cable plant is connected to the other side.
Unlike the Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch, which uses Cisco RF Switch logic, and a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) control interface to communicate with the Cisco uBR10012 router or the Cisco uBR7246VXR router, the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV is controlled by the Cisco uBR10012 router.
Note
All Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV configurations are executed on the Cisco uBR10012 Router.
For software caveats that apply to the Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCG on the Cisco uBR10012 router, see the corresponding release notes for Cisco uBR10012 Router.

Other Hardware Supported
Table 1 lists the other hardware components supported with the Cisco UBR-RFSW-ADV
Feature Support
Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that consist of software images that support specific platforms. The feature sets available for a specific platform depend on which Cisco IOS software images are included in a release. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features.
Caution
Cisco Feature Navigator
The Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to determine which Cisco IOS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image. You can search by feature or by feature set (software image). Under the release section, you can compare Cisco IOS software releases side-by-side to display both the features unique to each software release and the features that the releases have in common.
To access the Cisco Feature Navigator, you must have an account on Cisco.com. If you have forgotten or lost your account information, send a blank e-mail to cco-locksmith@cisco.com. An automatic check verifies that your e-mail address is registered with Cisco.com. If the check is successful, account details with a new random password is e-mailed to you. Qualified users can establish an account on Cisco.com by following the directions found at this URL:
