Prerequisites for Configuring the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S Cable Interface Line Card
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card requires the following:
•
The Cisco uBR10012 router must be running 12.2(11)CY or later to support the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card.
•
The Cisco uBR10012 router must be using one or two PRE1 processor modules to support the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card. The PRE module is not supported.
•
At least one Timing, Communication, and Control Plus (TCC+) card must be installed and operational in the Cisco uBR10012 router.
•
Complete a basic configuration of the Cisco uBR10012 router; this includes, at a minimum, the following tasks:
–
Configure a host name and password for the router.
–
Configure the router to support Internet Protocol (IP) operations.
–
Install and configure at least one WAN adapter to provide backbone connectivity.
–
Install at least one Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card in an appropriate slot of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. This is described in the Cisco uBR10-MC5x20S Cable Interface Line Card for the Cisco uBR10012 Series Router document.
–
Bring up the router as described in the "Configuring the Cable Modem Termination System for the First Time" chapter in the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Software Configuration Guide.
•
Determine a channel plan for your Cisco uBR10012 router and all of its cable interfaces.
•
Verify that your headend site includes all necessary servers to support DOCSIS and Internet connectivity, including DHCP, ToD, and TFTP servers.
The Cisco uBR10012 router should be operational before beginning the following procedures to configure the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card.
Restrictions for Configuring the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S Cable Interface Line Card
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)CY, the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card has the following restrictions:
•
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card requires a PRE1 module running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)BC1 or later. If using redundant processors, both processors must be PRE1 modules. You cannot use the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card with a PRE module.
•
When changing the symbol rate on the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card, the
show controller cable upstream command may show US phy SNR_estimate - Unknown for a brief period of time. Wait a moment and reissue the command to obtain an accurate SNR value.•
The load-interval interface configuration command is not supported on the Cisco uBR-MC5X20S cable interface line card, although the command-line interface (CLI) accepts the command for these interfaces.
•
The following software features are not supported for the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)CY:
–
Cable Monitor.
–
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE).
–
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card includes onboard spectrum management hardware. However, card support for advanced spectrum management features on the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card will commence with future Cisco IOS releases. Future advanced spectrum management support will include all features currently available with the uBR-MC16S card.
•
The configuration of the downstream and upstream ports is fixed into the five domains that are listed in Table 2.
•
Each ASIC processor on the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S interface line card supports two MAC domains. When using the Cisco uBR10012 router and Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card in N+1 Redundancy, MAC domains that share a common ASIC processor must be configured so that they share the same state: Active or Standby. Therefore, MAC domains fail over together.
Downstream MAC domain pairings would be downstream (DS) ports 0 and 1, ports 2 and 3, and port 4. For example, cable 5/0/0 and cable 5/0/1 share the same ASIC processor. Cable 5/0/2 and 5/0/3 share the second ASIC processor, and cable 5/0/4 is on the third ASIC processor, which is not shared.
Note
Downstream port 4 is on its own MAC processor. If HCCP is not configured on an interface that shares a MAC processor with another configured interface, it will not failover.
Information About Configuring the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S Cable Interface Line Card
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card supports downstream and upstream traffic over a Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS)-based cable modem network. The card supports 6-MHz National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) channel operation, using standard (STD), Harmonic Related Carrier (HRC), or Incremental Related Carrier (IRC) frequency plans. The card supports downstream channels in the 54 to 860 MHz range and an upstream range of 5 to 42 MHz.
Note
Although you can use the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card in 8-MHz international cable plants, the card operates only according to the DOCSIS specifications. This means that the card ignores the upper 2 MHz of available channel width, operates at a maximum bit rate of 5.36 mega-symbols per second, and limits upstream choices to the range below 42 MHz.
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card contains five downstream ports and twenty upstream ports. The downstream ports support 64-QAM and 256-QAM, and the upstream ports support QPSK and 16-QAM modulation.
Each downstream port includes an onboard integrated upconverter that generates an RF signal suitable for connection to a combiner and transmission on the coaxial cable network, without the need for any external upconverters. This can save both the money and rack space required by an external upconverter, as well as reduce the complexity of the equipment at the headend site.
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card supports all DOCSIS 1.1-specified Annex B radio frequency (RF) data rates, channel widths, and modulation schemes. Table 1 shows the supported DOCSIS data rates.
Note
The Cisco IOS software automatically creates modulation profile 21 for the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S card. This profile cannot be deleted.
The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card is available withdense connectors. Each type of card contains a color-coded label that identifies the downstream and upstream ports. Figure 1 shows the front panels of each model.
Figure 1 Cisco uBR10-MC5x20S Cable Interface Line Card Front Panel View (Dense Connectors)
The five downstream ports are labelled DS0 RF through DS4 RF. The RF label indicates that the port is outputting an RF signal from the port's integrated upconverter. The 20 upstream ports are labelled US0 through US19.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)CY, each upstream port is statically associated with a particular downstream port. Table 2 shows the association between the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card's physical port domains and the upstream and downstream ports associated with each domain. Table 2 also shows the interface label to use when referring to the port when using command-line interface (CLI) commands.

1 The X and Y in the CLI Cable Interface Label column refer to the physical card slot in which the card is installed. The value for X can range from 5 to 8, and the value for Y can be either 0 or 1.
For example, Table 2 shows that if the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card is installed in slot 5/1, interface C5/1/3 contains domain #4, with downstream port DS3 RF and upstream ports US12, US13, US14, and US15. To configure upstream US14, you would therefore specify upstream U2 on cable interface 5/1/3 (interface c5/1/3).

DETAILED STEPS
Command PurposeStep 1
enable
Example:Router> enableEnables privileged EXEC mode.
•
Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2
configure terminal
Example:Router# config tMoves to global configuration mode.
Step 3
interface cableslot/subslot/port
Example:Router (config)# interface cable8/1/0Enters configuration mode for the cable interface where:
slot/subslot — Physical card slot, where slot can range from 5 to 8, and subslot can be either 0 or 1.
port — Downstream port for the domain. The port parameter can range from 0 to 4, and the initial domain, domain 1, uses downstream port 0.
Example:Specifies interface configuration mode for slot 8, subslot 1, and port 0.
Step 4
cable downstream frequency down-freq-hz
Example:Router (config-if)# cable downstream frequency 96000000Sets the fixed center frequency for the integrated upconverter for this domain's downstream RF carrier in Hz.
down-freq-hz —The known center frequency of the downstream carrier in Hz, with acceptable range as follows:
•
DOCSIS = 88,000,000 to 855,000,000 Hz (88-855 MHz)
Note
The digital carrier frequency is not the same as the video carrier frequency.
Example:.Sets the cable downstream frequency to 96 MHz.
Step 5
cable downstream modulation {64qam | 256qam}
Example:Router(config-if)# cable downstream modulation 256qam(Optional) Sets the downstream modulation rate:
64qam — Modulation rate is 6 bits per downstream symbol (default).
256qam — Modulation rate is 8 bits per downstream symbol.
Example:Sets downstream modulation to 256 QAM (8 bits per DS symbol).
Step 6
cable downstream interleave-depth {8 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128}
Example:Router(config-if)# cable downstream interleave-depth 8(Optional) Sets the downstream interleave depth, in number of rows of codewords. The default is 32 rows.
Example:Sets interleave depth to 8 rows.
Step 7
cable downstream channel-id id
Example:Router(config-if)# cable downstream channel-id 128(Optional) Sets the downstream channel ID. The valid range for id is 1 to 254, with the default being the unique unit number that is assigned by the CMTS.
id — Specifies a downstream channel ID. Valid values are from 0 to 255.
Example:Sets the downstream channel ID number to 128.
Step 8
cable downstream rf-power power-level
Example:Router(config-if)# cable downstream rf-power 45Sets the RF power output level, in dBmV, on the integrated upconverter.
power-level — Desired RF output power level in dBmV. The valid range is 45 to 63 dBmV, with a default of 58 dBmV for the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card.
Note
The official range for acceptable power levels in the DOCSIS specification is 50 to 61 dBmV. Cisco cable interfaces exceed the DOCSIS specification, but power levels outside the DOCSIS specifications should be used only in lab and test environments.
Example:Sets RF output power level to 45 dBmV.
Step 9
no cable downstream rf-shutdown
Example:Router(config-if)# no cable downstream rf-shutdownEnables RF output on the integrated upconverter.
Step 10
no shutdown
Example:Router (config-if)# no shutdownActivates the downstream port on a cable modem card for digital data transmission over the cable plant.
Step 11
cable upstream n frequency up-freq-hz
Example:Router (config-int) # cable upstream 3 frequency 5000000Enters a fixed frequency of the upstream radio frequency (RF) carrier for an upstream port. This sets the center frequency for the upstream in Hz.
n — Specifies the upstream port number on the cable interface line card for which you want to assign an upstream frequency. Valid values start with 0 for the first upstream port on the cable interface line card. The valid range for port is 0 to 3.
up-freq-hz — The upstream center frequency is configured to a fixed value. The valid upstream frequency range is 5 MHz (5000000 Hz) to 42 MHz (42000000 Hz) or 65 MHz (65000000 Hz), depending on the cable interface line card being used. If you wish to have the Cisco CMTS dynamically specify a center frequency for the given upstream interface, do not enter any frequency value.
Example:Assigns an upstream frequency of 50 MHz on port 3.
or
Step 11
(cont)cable upstream n spectrum-group group-number
Example:Router (config-int) # cable upstream 0 spectrum-group 12Assigns the upstream to a spectrum group that defines the valid range of upstream frequencies.
n — Specifies the upstream port number. Valid values start with 0 for the first upstream port on the cable interface line card. The valid range for port is 0 to 3.
group-number — Specifies the spectrum group for which you are defining a parameter value, or specifies the number of the spectrum group you wish to remove from your router configuration. Valid range is from 1 to 32.
Example:Assigns port 0 to upstream spectrum group 12.
Step 12
Repeat
Note
Repeat Step 11 for each upstream port, changing the port parameter from 0 through 3. You must configure each upstream with either a fixed center frequency or assign it to a spectrum group.
Step 13
cable upstream n power-level dbmv
Example:Router (config-int) # cable upstream 0 power-level -5(Optional) Sets the input power level for the upstream in dBmV.
Optionally repeat this command for each upstream port, changing the port parameter from 0 through 3.

dbmv — Decibels per millivolt designating the upstream signal input power level. Valid range is -10 dBmV to +25 dBmV. The valid range for dbmv is -10 to +25 dBmV, with a default of 0.
Example:Sets the input power level for upstream port 0 to -5 dBmV.
Step 14
no cable upstream n shutdown
Example:Router (config-int) # no cable upstream 0 shutdownActivates the RF carrier on the upstream port. Each upstream port must be activated to enable upstream data from the cable modems on your network to the Cisco uBR10012 router.
n — Specifies the upstream port number. Valid values start with 0 for the first upstream port on the cable interface line card. The valid range for port is 0 to 3.
Repeat this command for each upstream port, changing the port parameter from 0 through 3.
Example:Enables the upstream port 0.
Step 15
Repeat.
Repeat steps 3-13 in this procedure for each domain, changing the downstream port from 0 through 4.
Step 16

Note
The upstream frequency displayed by the show controllers cable command output might not exactly match the frequency configured with the cable upstream frequency command, because Cisco cable interface line cards use frequencies in 16 KHz increments. For example, if you specify a frequency of 27 MHz, the upstream is programmed for a center frequency of 27.008 MHz, which is the next highest 16-KHz boundary.
Configuration Examples for the Cisco uBR10-MC5x20S Cable Interface Line Card

Command Reference
This section describes the following new and changed commands that configure and monitor the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card:
Note
Cable configuration commands are described in the Cisco Broadband Cable Command Reference Guide.
cable downstream rf-power
To set the RF power output level on an integrated upconverter on the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router or the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card, use the cable downstream rf-power command in cable interface configuration mode. To reset the RF output power level to its default value, use the no form of this command.
cable downstream rf-power power-level
no cable downstream rf-power
Syntax Description
Defaults
50 dBmV for the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router
58 dBmV for the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card on the Cisco uBR10012 router
Command Modes
Interface configuration (cable interface only)
Command History
Examples
The following example shows the first integrated upconverter on a Cisco uBR10012 router being configured for an RF output power level of 55 dBmV:
router(config)# cable interface 5/1/0router(config-if)# cable downstream rf-power 55The following commands shows the first integrated upconverter being set to the default power level of 58 dBmV on the Cisco uBR10012 router:
router(config)# cable interface 5/1/0router(config-if)# no cable downstream rf-powerRelated Commands
cable downstream rf-shutdown
To disable the RF output from an integrated upconverter on the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router or the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card, use the cable downstream rf-shutdown command in cable interface configuration mode. To enable the RF output on the integrated upconverter, use the no form of this command.
cable downstream rf-shutdown
no cable downstream rf-shutdown
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
RF output is disabled.
Command Modes
Interface configuration mode (cable interface only)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
By default, the integrated upconverter on the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router and the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card is disabled, and the downstream port does not output any signal. The no form of this command enables the integrated upconverter, allowing it to output an RF signal through the downstream port.
However, before a valid DOCSIS downstream signal can be output, the following must also be done:
•
A valid downstream RF frequency must be configured using the cable downstream frequency cable interface command.
•
The cable interface must be enabled using the no shutdown command on the cable interface.
Note
This command does not affect the IF output from the DS0 downstream port on the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. The Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S cable interface line card does not provide IF output for its downstream ports.
Examples
The following example enables the second integrated upconverter on the Cisco uBR10012 router:
router(config)# cable interface 7/0/1router(config-if)# no cable downstream rf-shutdownThe following commands must also be given before the DS0 RF port can transmit a valid RF signal:
router(config-if)# cable downstream frequency center-frequencyrouter(config-if)# no shutdownrouter(config-if)# exitrouter(config)#Related Commands
show hardware pxf cable
To display information about the multicast echo and packet intercept features for one or all cable interfaces, use the show hardware pxf cable command in Privileged EXEC mode.
show hardware pxf cable {feature-table [cx/y/z] | multicast-echo ds-group |
multicast-echo mcast-addr}Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The show hardware pxf cable command displays information about whether multicast echo and packet intercept are enabled on the cable interfaces. It can also be used to display the service flow ID (SFID) used for each multicast address that is being processed by the router.
Examples
The following example shows a typical display for the show hardware pxf cable feature-table command for all cable interfaces:
Router# show hardware pxf cable feature-tableInterface VCCI McastEcho Intercept DSGroup InterceptGroupCable5/0/0 3 On On 0 0Cable5/0/0.1 9 On On 0 0Cable5/0/1 4 On Off 255 -Cable6/0/0 5 On Off 255 -Cable6/0/1 6 On Off 255 -Cable7/0/0 7 On Off 1 -Cable7/0/1 8 On Off 2 -Router#The following example shows a typical display for the show hardware pxf cable feature-table option for a particular cable interface:

show interface cable sid
To display the service identifier (SID) information for a CM, use the show interface cable sid command in privileged EXEC mode.
show interface cable {slot/port | slot/subslot/port} sid [association | counters | qos] [verbose]
Syntax Description
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Data transport over the radio frequency (RF) link uses the registered SID address rather than the Ethernet address. This allows multiple hosts to access the network via a single CM.
The verbose keyword can be used with any of the other options or by itself.
Examples
The following sample output from the show interface cable sid command shows the various forms of the command. Some examples cite the Cisco uBR7200 series platform. The displays on other Cisco CMTS platforms are similar.
