Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Features Commands
This chapter describes the commands used to configure the Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband features. For uBR7246 Universal Broadband configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring Cisco uBR7246 Universal Broadband Features" chapter in the Voice, Video and Home Applications Configuration Guide.
cable arp
To activate cable Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), use the cable arp cable interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable cable ARP.
cable arp
no cable arp
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Default
ARP enabled
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
ARP is an Internet protocol used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses on computers and other equipment installed in a network. You need to activate ARP requests so the Cisco uBR7246 can perform IP address resolution on the downstream path.
Example
This following example activates cable ARP requests for port 0 on the cable modem installed in slot 6:
cable channel-change
To move a cable modem to another channel, use the cable channel-change cable interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.
cable channel-change sid channel
no cable channel-change sid channel
Syntax Description
sid
|
Service identifier (SID) of the cable modem. Valid entries are from 1 to 8191.
|
channel
|
User-defined or user-selected; in the current release, there is only one upstream channel available. Therefore, this value is always 0.
|
Default
0
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
Moving a cable modem to a new channel can improve performance, increase bandwidth availability, or troubleshoot a cable modem. You use the SID to identify a particular cable modem.
Example
The following example changes a cable modem channel allocation from SID 50 to 0:
cable channel-change 50 0
cable downstream annex
To set the MPEG framing format for a downstream port on a cable modem card to either Annex A (Europe) or Annex B (North America), use the cable downstream annex cable interface configuration command.
cable downstream annex {A | B}
Syntax Description
A
|
Annex A. The downstream is compatible with the European MPEG framing format specified in ITU-TJ.83 Annex A.
|
B
|
Default. The downstream is compatible with the North American MPEG framing format specified in ITU-TJ.83 Annex B.
|
Default
Annex B
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
The MPEG framing format must be compatible with the downstream symbol rate you set. Annex B is the North America standard and Annex A is the European standard. You should review your local standards and specifications for downstream MPEG framing to determine which format you should use.
Note
The cable modem card downstream ports and the cable modems on the HFC network connected through these ports must be set to the same MPEG framing format.
Example
The following example sets the MPEG framing format to Annex A:
cable downstream frequency
To set the fixed center frequency for downstream RF carrier in Hz, enter the cable downstream frequency cable interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to set no fixed center frequency.
cable downstream frequency down-freq-hz
no cable downstream frequency
Syntax Description
down-freq-hz
|
The known center frequency of the downstream carrier in Hz. The valid range is 54,000,000 to 1,020,000,000 Hz.
|
Default
Disabled
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
You need to set the downstream frequency of your RF output to comply with the expected input frequency of your upconverter. To do this, you enter the fixed center frequency of the downstream RF carrier for a downstream port. (You can also select a default which does not set a specific fixed value.) The valid range for a fixed center frequency is 54,000,000 to 1,020,000,000 Hz. The center frequency is also used to configure an IF-to-RF upconverter that must be installed in your downstream path.
To calculate the center frequency, add the frequencies in Hz of the lowest channel and the highest channel available at your headend. Divide that number by 2. The typical range for current CATV headends is 88,000,000 to 860,000,000 Hz; the MCNS specification is 94,000,000 to 860,000,000 Hz.
Note
This command currently has no effect on external upconverters; it is informational only.
Example
The following example sets the downstream center frequency:
cable downstream frequency 96000000
cable downstream if-output
To activate a downstream port on a cable modem card for digital data transmissions over the HFC network, use the cable downstream if-output cable interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable the 44 MHz intermediate frequency (IF) carrier.
cable downstream if-output
no cable downstream if-output
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Default
Downstream carrier enabled
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
Example
The following example enables the downstream port 0 on the cable modem installed in slot 6:
cable downstream if-output
cable downstream interleave-depth
To set the downstream interleave depth, use the cable downstream interleave-depth cable interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default.
cable downstream interleave-depth {8 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128}
no cable downstream interleave-depth
Syntax Description
8 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128
|
Indicates the amount of time (in milliseconds) that defines the downstream interleave depth. The default is 32.
|
Default
32
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
This command sets the minimum latency of the system. Higher interleave depth provides more protection from bursts of noise on the HFC network; however, higher depth also increases downstream latency. shows interleave characteristics.

cable downstream modulation
To set the modulation rate for a downstream port on a cable modem card, use the cable downstream modulation cable interface configuration command:
cable downstream modulation {64qam}
Syntax Description
64qam
|
Modulation is 6 bits per symbol.
|
Default
64qam
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command was added in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
Downstream modulation is the speed at which downstream data travels to the user; by setting the downstream modulation, you define the speed, which is 64qam (6 bits per downstream symbol rate, which is the standard Multimedia Cable Network Systems (MCNS) rate).
Note
The Cisco cable modem cards currently do not offer a downstream modulation setting for 256-QAM (8 bits per downstream symbol rate).
Example
The following example sets the downstream modulation:
cable downstream modulation 64
cable downstream symbol-rate
To set the megasymbols per second (Msps) rate for a downstream port on a cable modem card, use the cable downstream symbol-rate cable interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default.
cable downstream symbol-rate number
no cable downstream symbol-rate
Syntax Description
number
|
Number of megasymbols per second (Msps) rate for a downstream port. The valid range is 0 to 6000000 Msps.
|
Default
5056941 symbols per second (sps) with 64-QAM and 5360537 sps for 256-QAM.
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
A symbol is the basic unit of modulation. QPSK encodes 2 bits per symbol, 16-QAM encodes 4 bits per symbol, 64-QAM encodes 6 bits per symbol, and 256-QAM encodes 8 bits per symbol. The valid range for the downstream symbol rate is 0 to 6,000,000 Msps.
Caution 
The default downstream symbol rate is set to comply with MCNS specifications for Annex B cable modem support at 5.056941 Msps with 64-QAM modulation and 5.36037 Msps with 256-QAM modulation. This command should only be used to change the symbol rate to support Annex A cable modems that are used outside of North America.
Example
The following example sets the downstream symbol rate to 5056941 symbols per second (sps) to comply with MCNS specifications for Annex B:
cable downstream symbol-rate 5056941
cable insertion-interval
To limit the amount of time that a cable modem can request a channel for the first time from the Cisco uBR7246, use the cable insertion-interval cable interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value fro this command.

cable privacy kek grace-time [seconds]
no cable privacy kek grace-time
Syntax Description
seconds
|
(Optional) Number of seconds defining the length of key encryption grace-time. Valid range is 300 to 1800 seconds. Default is 600 seconds.
|
Default
600 seconds
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
Baseline privacy on an HFC network is configured with key encryption keys (keks) and traffic encryption keys (teks). The encryption is based on 40-bit or 56-bit data encryption standard (DES) encryption algorithms.
A kek is assigned to a cable modem based on the cable modem's service identifier (SID) and permits the cable modem to connect to the Cisco uBR7246 when baseline privacy is activated. Keks can be set to expire based on a grace-time or a life-time value. A grace-time key is used to assign a temporary key to a cable modem to access the network.
A cable modem must renew its kek (grace-seconds) before it expires.
Example
The following example sets kek privacy grace-time to 800 seconds:
cable privacy kek grace-time 800
cable privacy kek life-time
To set key encryption keys (keks) life-time values for baseline privacy on an HFC network, use the cable privacy kek life-time global configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value.
cable privacy kek life-time [seconds]
no cable privacy kek life-time
Syntax Description
seconds
|
(Optional) Number of seconds defining the length of the key encryption life-time.Valid range is 86400 to 6048000. Default is 604800 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
Baseline privacy on an HFC network is configured with key encryption keys (keks) and traffic encryption keys (teks). The encryption is based on 40-bit or 56-bit data encryption standard (DES) encryption algorithms.
A kek is assigned to a cable modem based on the cable modem's service identifier (SID) and permits the cable modem to connect to the Cisco uBR7246 when baseline privacy is activated. Keks can be set to expire based on a grace-time or a life-time value. A life-time key is used to assign a more permanent key to a cable modem. Each cable modem that has a life-time key assigned will request a new life-time key from the Cisco uBR7246 before the current one expires.
A cable modem must renew its kek (lifetime-seconds) before it expires.
Example
The following example sets kek privacy life-time to 750,000 seconds:
cable privacy kek life-time 750000
cable privacy tek grace-time
To set traffic encryption keys (teks) grace-time values for baseline privacy on an HFC network, use the cable privacy tek grace-time global configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value.
cable privacy tek grace-time [seconds]

Default
43,200 seconds
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
Baseline privacy on an HFC network is configured with key encryption keys (keks) and traffic encryption keys (teks). The encryption is based on 40-bit or 56-bit data encryption standard (DES) encryption algorithms.
The tek is assigned to a cable modem when its kek has been established. The tek is used to encrypt data traffic between the cable modem and the Cisco uBR7246. Teks can be set to expire based on a grace-time or a life-time value. A life-time key is used to assign a more permanent key to a cable modem. Each cable modem that has a life-time key assigned will request a new life-time key from the Cisco uBR7246 before the current one expires.
A cable modem must renew its tek (life-time second) before it expires.
Example
The following example sets traffic encryption key life-time to 43,200 seconds:
cable privacy tek life-time 43200
cable proxy-arp
To activate cable proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) on the cable interface, use the cable proxy-arp cable interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.
cable proxy-arp
no cable proxy-arp
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Default
Disabled
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
Because the downstream and upstream are separate interfaces, modems can not directly perform address resolution with other modems on the cable plant. This command allows modems to perform address resolution through a proxy.
Example
The following example activates proxy ARP for host-to-host communications:
cable shared-secret
To enable cable modem authentication, use the cable shared-secret cable interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable cable modem authentication.
cable shared-secret secret-key

Text string used as secret key. Text string can be from 1 to 80 characters in length.
|
Default
Null string
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
Use this command to activate authentication so that all cable modems must return a known text string to register with the Cisco uBR7246 for access to the network.
Example
The following example activates cable modem authentication, using "scoobee" as the shared secret key:
cable shared-secret scoobee
cable spectrum-group
To create a spectrum group, use the cable spectrum-group global configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this spectrum group.
cable spectrum-group group-number type {blind | scheduled | daily periodic-sec seconds}
no cable spectrum-group group-number type {blind | scheduled | daily periodic-sec seconds}
Syntax Description
group-number
|
Spectrum group number. Valid range is from 1 to 32.
|
blind
|
Allows the upstream frequency and input power level to change whenever noise impairs upstream data traffic.
|
scheduled
|
Allows the upstream frequency and power level to change at set times in a day.
|
daily periodic-sec
|
Allows the upstream frequency level at a specified interval in seconds.
|
seconds
|
Rate in seconds when upstream frequency and power level change.
|
Default
No spectrum group is defined.
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
Upstream traffic may be affected by noise or other cable plant impairment. The spectrum manager monitors the upstream traffic. If station maintenance messages from cable modems are not received for approximately 2.5 minutes, then the spectrum manager reassigns a different upstream frequency to the upstream channel.
Frequency agility is configured and activated using spectrum groups. A spectrum group is a table of frequencies that can be used by upstream ports to implement a frequency-hopping policy. There are two types of policies, blind and scheduled, with two corresponding types of spectrum groups.
–
Blind—The spectrum manager automatically assigns a new upstream channel frequency when station maintenance (keep-alive) messages fail for approximately 2.5 minutes. This represents a complete impairment of the upstream due to noise, plant, or equipment failure.
–
Scheduled—The spectrum manager automatically assigns a new upstream frequency at set times during the day.
Note
The cable interface will not operate until you either create and configure a spectrum group or set a fixed upstream frequency. From the interface configuration prompt, an interface is assigned membership in a spectrum group. From the interface point of view, the spectrum group also represents the set of upstreams connected to the same group of fiber nodes. This allows the spectrum manager to know if the upstream spectrum is shared.
A maximum of 32 spectrum groups can be configured in the system.
Example
The following example creates spectrum groups and sets the periodic rate to 48000 seconds:
cable spectrum-group 1 type blind
cable spectrum-group 2 type scheduled daily
cable spectrum-group 3 type scheduled periodic-sec 48000
cable spectrum-group frequency
To configure a list of upstream frequencies and nominal power levels that each spectrum group can use when an upstream frequency change is necessary, use the cable spectrum-group frequency global configuration command. Use the no form of this command to delete a spectrum group list.
cable spectrum-group group-number [time hh:mm:ss] frequency up-freq-hz
[power-level-dbmv]
no cable spectrum-group group-number
Syntax Description
group-number
|
Spectrum group number. Valid range is 1 to 32. Configuring a spectrum group with multiple entries of this type, defines a list of frequencies which are available for use as upstream frequencies.
|
time hh:mm:ss
|
(Optional) For scheduled spectrum groups, specifies the time of day that the frequency and input power level should change.
|
up-freq-hz
|
Upstream frequency. Valid range is 5,000,000 to 42,000,000 Hz.
|
power-level-dbmv
|
(Optional) Nominal input power level. Valid range is -10 to +10 decibels per millivolt (dBmV). Some cable plants might want to change only the input power level and not frequency on a daily time schedule.
|
Default
Operator must determine a value based on the spectrum allocation plan.
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
After you create a spectrum group, you need to configure a list of upstream frequencies and nominal power levels that each spectrum group can use when an upstream frequency change is necessary. Each spectrum group should have its own list of upstream frequencies. Valid frequencies are 5,000,000 to 42,000,000 Hz, and valid power levels are -10 dBmV to 10 dBmV. The power level value should only be changed if you want to change only the power level as part of spectrum management. The standard power level is 0 dBmV.
Example
The following example creates spectrum group frequencies:
cable spectrum-group 1 frequency 6500000
cable spectrum-group 1 frequency 7000000d
cable spectrum-group 2 frequency 750000 -5
cable spectrum-group 3 time 02:00:00 frequency 9000000
cable spectrum-group 3 time 02:00:00 frequency 9500000 -5

cable upstream power-level
To set the input power level for the upstream RF carrier in decibels per millivolt (dBmV), use the cable upstream power-level cable interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default configuration value for this command.
cable upstream port power-level dbmv
no cable upstream port power-level dbmv
Syntax Description
port
|
The port number identifying the location of the installed Cisco MC11.
|
dbmv
|
Decibels per millivolt designating the upstream signal input power level. Valid range of -10 decibels per millivolt (dBmV to 10 dBmV).
|
Default
Upstream nominal input power level is configured to 0 dBmV
Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
The power level of the upstream signal has to match MC11 cable modems expected input power levels. Because of this, you need to set the nominal input power level for the upstream RF carrier in decibels per millivolt (dBmV). You can also select the default of 0 dBmV, which is the optimal setting for the upstream power level.
The valid range for the input power level is -10 dBmV to 10 dBmV. Higher values cause the modems to increase their transmit power, achieving a greater carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR). If your power levels operate at greater than 10 dBmV, you must use an in-line attenuator to bring the power level to within the valid range.
Caution 
If you increase the input power level, the cable modems on your HFC network will increase their transmit power level. This might cause an increase in the carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) on the network. Be careful if you adjust this parameter. You might violate the upstream return laser design parameters.
Example
The following example sets the upstream input power level:
cable upstream 0 power-level -5

Command Mode
Cable interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 XA.
You need to activate the scrambler on the upstream RF carrier so that the cable modems on the HFC network will use built-in scrambler circuitry for upstream data transmissions. The scrambler circuitry improves reliability of the upstream receiver on the cable modem card. This command causes modems to enable their pseudo-random scrambler circuitry to improve the robustness of the upstream receiver on the line card.
Caution 
Scrambler must be activated for normal operation. Deactivate only for prototype modems that do not support scrambler.
Example
The following example activates the upstream scrambler:
cable upstream 0 scrambler
