Introduction
For information on new features and the Cisco IOS documentation set supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BC1, see the "New and Changed Information" section and the "Related Documentation" section.
Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers
The Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers—the Cisco uBR7223, the Cisco uBR7246, and the Cisco uBR7246VXR—are based on the Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) standards. Each is designed to be installed at a cable operator's headend facility or distribution hub and to function as the cable modem termination system (CMTS) for subscriber-end devices such as the Cisco uBR905 and Cisco uBR925 cable access routers, and other DOCSIS-compliant cable modems (CMs) and set-top boxes (STBs).
Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers allow two-way transmission of digital data and Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic over a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network. The Cisco uBR7200 series routers support IP routing with a wide variety of protocols and combinations of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, serial, High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), Packet over SONET (POS) OC-3 and OC-12c, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) media, and EtherChannel trunking technology.
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BC1 supports the Cisco uBR7246VXR, Cisco uBR7246, and Cisco uBR7223 universal broadband routers.

Table 5 displays the memory recommendations of the Cisco IOS feature sets for the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BC1. Cisco uBR7200 series routers are only available with a 48 MB or 128 MB of Flash disk memory on the I/O Controller cards. The UBR7200-NPE-G1 uses compact Flash disk only.
Note
Flash disks, an alternative to linear Flash memory, are Flash memory-based devices that can be used as file storage media in the PCMCIA card slots of the I/O Controllers. Each I/O Controller has two PCMCIA slots and can be configured with up to 256 MB of Flash disk memory.
The image subset legend for Table 5 is as follows:
•
i = IP routing, MPLS-VPN support, and noncable interface bridging, including Network Address Translation (NAT)
•
k8 = DOCSIS Baseline Privacy
•
p = IP routing with Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP); MPLS-VPN support; no bridging and no NAT
•
s = "Plus" features: NAT and Inter-Switch Link (ISL)
•
k9 = 3DES level of encryption
Note
All images support all of the hardware listed in the "Supported Hardware" section, unless otherwise indicated.
Note
A Cisco uBR7200 series router requires 256 MB of DRAM memory on the NPE processor card when HCCP redundancy is configured and the router is supporting more than 3,000 cable modems. Using less memory in these conditions results in temporary out-of-memory situations and incomplete synchronization between the Working and Protect interfaces.
System Interoperability
This section clarifies the operation of certain features in the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers.
•
DOCSIS 1.0 Baseline Privacy
DOCSIS baseline privacy interface (BPI) gives subscribers data privacy across the RF network, encrypting traffic flows between the CMTS and CM. BPI ensures that a CM, uniquely identified by its Media Access Control (MAC) address, can obtain keying material for services only it is authorized to access.
To enable BPI, choose software at both the CMTS and CM that support the mode of operation. For the Cisco uBR7200 series software, choose an image with "k8" in its file name or BPI in the feature set description.
The CM must also support BPI. CMs must have factory-installed RSA private/public key pairs to support internal algorithms to generate key pairs prior to first BPI establishment. BPI must be enabled using the DOCSIS configuration file.
Note
RSA stands for Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman, inventors of a public-key cryptographic system.
•
CM Interoperability
–
The Cisco uBR7200 series interoperates with DOCSIS-based two-way CMs that support basic Internet access, VoIP, or Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
–
EuroDOCSIS CMs or STBs with integrated EuroDOCSIS CMs using Cisco uBR-MC16E cable interface line cards and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)BC1 or higher. EuroDOCSIS operation support includes 8-MHz Phase Alternating Line (PAL) or Systeme Electronique Couleur Avec Memoire (SECAM) channel plans.
Note
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BC1 does not support telco-return CMs/STBs.
–
Configuring the CMTS Cable Interface When in Routing Mode—If you have configured a Cisco cable modem for routing mode and are also using the cable-modem dhcp-proxy nat command on the cable modem, you must configure the corresponding cable interface on the Cisco uBR7200 series router with the cable dhcp-giaddr policy command. Otherwise, the cable interface could flap and the CM could go offline unpredictably.
•
DOCSIS 1.0 Extensions
The Cisco uBR7200 series supports the following DOCSIS 1.0 quality of service (QoS) extensions:
–
Multi-Service ID (SID) support, allowing the definition of multiple SIDs on the upstream—Voice traffic can be designated on a higher QoS committed information rate (CIR) secondary SID, while data traffic can be forwarded on a best-effort basis on a primary SID. Secondary SIDs are higher QoS CIR-type classes that have a nonzero minimum reserved rate (CIR-type service). These SIDs receive preferential treatment at the CMTS for grants over any tiered best-effort type data SID of that upstream. Reliable operation with voice requires multiple SIDs—at least two per CM to separate voice from data. In DOCSIS 1.0, SIDs are set up statically. When supporting DOCSIS 1.0 extensions, SIDs can be set up statically or dynamically. Both the CMTS and CM must support this capability.
–
CM-initiated dynamic MAC messages—Dynamic Service Addition (DSA) and Dynamic Service Deletion (DSD). These messages allow dynamic SIDs to be created and deleted at run-time on a per-VoIP call basis.
–
Unsolicited grant service (constant bit rate [CBR] scheduling) on the upstream—This helps provide a higher-quality channel for upstream VoIP packets from an Integrated Telephony Cable Modem (ITCM) such as the Cisco uBR924 cable access router.
–
Ability to provide separate downstream rates for any given ITCM, based on the IP-precedence value in the packet—This helps separate voice signaling and data traffic that goes to the same ITCM to address rate-shaping purposes.
–
Concatenation—To increase the per-CM upstream throughput in certain releases of software, Cisco uBR7200 series software supports a concatenated burst of multiple MAC frames from a CM that supports concatenation.
Note
All DOCSIS 1.0 extensions are activated only when a CM or Cisco uBR924 that supports these extensions solicits services using dynamic MAC messages or the feature set. If the CMs in your network are pure DOCSIS 1.0-based, they receive regular DOCSIS 1.0 treatment from the CMTS.
•
Clock Synchronization
The Cisco uBR7200 series support clock hardware and software to enable high-quality delivery of IP telephony services through synchronized data transmissions. To support the clock feature set, a Cisco uBR7246VXR chassis must be used. The Cisco uBR7246VXR must contain a clock card and either a Cisco uBR-MC16E or Cisco uBR-MC28C cable interface line card. Only these cards support the external clock reference from the clock card to distribute that signal to CMs or STBs attached to the specific network segments.
Each cable modem must also support VoIP applications and the clock reference feature set to enable synchronized timing. The Cisco uBR924 and Cisco uBR925 cable access routers, running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)T or later, supports the clock reference feature set automatically.
•
National Clock Card
The Cisco uBR7246VXR supports the National Clock Card. The National Clock Card allows the Cisco uBR7246VXR to accept a primary or secondary external clock reference. If there is no primary clock, the Clock Card goes into Holdover. After a period of 2-10 seconds, the Clock Card switches to the secondary clock. When the primary clock is back online, the Clock Card switches to the primary clock after a period of 2-10 seconds. The National Clock Card requires the Cisco uBR-MC1xS or the Cisco uBR-MC1xE cable interface line card.
