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 IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to 168-bit (3DES) data encryption feature sets) are subject to U.S. government export controls and have limited distribution. Strong encryption images to be installed outside the United States are likely to require an export license. Customer orders may be denied or subject to delay because of U.S. government regulations. When applicable, the purchaser/user must obtain local import and use authorizations for all encryption strengths. Please contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send an e-mail to export@cisco.com.

The feature set tables have been removed from the Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T release notes to improve the usability of the release notes documentation. The feature-to-image mapping that was provided by the feature set tables is available through Cisco Feature Navigator.

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 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 will verify that your e-mail address is registered with Cisco.com. If the check is successful, account details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you.

Additional Notes for the CVA120 Series

Introduction

The Cisco CVA120 Series Cable Voice Adapter gives residential subscribers high-speed Internet access. The cable voice adapter supports data traffic via a shared two-way cable system and Internet Protocol (IP) backbone network. The cable voice adapter connects computers and other customer premises devices at a subscriber site to the service provider's cable, hybrid-fiber coax (HFC), and IP backbone network.

The Cisco CVA120 series of cable voice adapters are based on Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) and European DOCSIS (EuroDOCSIS) standards. Depending on the model, they interoperate with any bidirectional, DOCSIS-qualified or EuroDOCSIS-qualified Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). The cable voice adapter ships from the Cisco factory with a Cisco IOS software image stored in nonvolatile Flash memory that supports DOCSIS-compliant and EuroDOCSIS-compliant bridging operations.

The cable voice adapter uses its cable interface to connect to the CMTS over the HFC cable system. A personal computer (PC) connects to the cable voice adapter through either the Ethernet or Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. The cable voice adapter then provides Internet access by forwarding traffic between the PC and the CMTS, creating a high-speed, permanent access to the Internet.

If supported by the service provider, the cable voice adapter can connect to multiple PCs by attaching a PC to each interface (Ethernet and USB). In addition, the cable voice adapter's Ethernet interface can connect to an Ethernet hub, and multiple computers can then be connected to the hub.


Note The cable voice adapter does not support networking multiple PCs using a USB bridging hub.


In addition to providing DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS connectivity, the cable voice adapter can optionally provide Voice over IP (VoIP) services, allowing subscribers to make telephone, modem, and fax calls over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP networks such as the Internet. These calls can be made to other VoIP devices, or to telephone, modem, or fax devices on the regular telephone network (the Public Switched Telephone Network, commonly known as PSTN).

The cable voice adapter can also function as an advanced router, providing wide area network (WAN) data connectivity in a variety of configurations.

Cisco CVA122 Cable Voice Adapter

The Cisco CVA122 Cable Voice Adapter features one F-connector interface to the cable system, one RJ-45 (10BASE-T Ethernet) hub port, one USB device port, and two RJ-11 analog voice ports. The USB interface enables the cable voice adapter to connect to a PC with a USB interface, without having the user to open the unit and install an Ethernet network interface card (NIC). If supported by the PC and service provider, PCs can be connected to the cable voice adapter using both the Ethernet and USB interfaces.

The Cisco CVA122 Cable Voice Adapter supports the DOCSIS standard, which was developed with service providers to ensure that any DOCSIS-certified cable modem can interoperate with any bidirectional, DOCSIS-qualified CMTS. The DOCSIS standard supports the North American National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) channel plan, with 6 MHz channel widths, a downstream range of 88 to 860MHz, and an upstream range of 5 to 42 MHz.

The feature sets available in Release 12.1(5)XU1 for the Cisco CVA122 Cable Voice Adapter include the DOCSIS IP Bridging, IP Routing, and the Easy IP feature sets.

Cisco CVA122E Cable Voice Adapter

The Cisco CVA122E Cable Voice Adapter features one F-connector interface to the cable system, one RJ-45 (10BASE-T Ethernet) hub port, one USB device port, and two RJ-11 analog voice ports. The USB interface enables the cable voice adapter to connect to a PC with a USB interface, without having the user to open the unit and install an Ethernet network interface card (NIC). If supported by the PC and service provider, PCs can be connected to the cable voice adapter using both the Ethernet and USB interfaces.

The Cisco CVA122E Cable Voice Adapter supports the EuroDOCSIS standard, which is almost identical to the DOCSIS standard, except that it supports the European Phase Alternating Line (PAL) and Systeme Electronique Couleur Avec Memoire (SECAM) channel plans, with 8 MHz channel widths, a downstream range of 88 to 860MHz, and an upstream range of 5 to 65 MHz.

The feature sets available in Release 12.1(5)XU1 for the Cisco CVA122E Cable Voice Adapter include the DOCSIS IP Bridging, IP Routing, and the Easy IP feature sets.

Memory Recommendations

For memory recommendations for the Cisco CVA120 cable voice adapter in Cisco IOS Release 12.2T, refer to the "Memory Recommendations" section.

Supported Hardware

The Cisco CVA122 Cable Voice Adapter and Cisco CVA122E Cable Voice Adapter contain the following interfaces:

One F-connector interface to the cable system.

One 10BASE-T Ethernet RJ-45 port that can be connected to a single computer with an Ethernet network interface card (NIC). If supported by the service provider, the Ethernet interface can also be connected to an Ethernet hub, which then can be connected to additional computers or devices at the site.

One USB device port to connect a single computer.

Two RJ-11 voice ports that connect to analog telephones, modems, and fax devices.

Feature Support

For feature support in Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T refer to the "Feature Support" section.

Additional Notes for the CVA120 Series

Cisco IOS Configuration File Download

The DOCSIS configuration file can contain an optional Vendor-Specific Information Field (VSIF) that instructs the Cisco CVA122 cable voice adapter to download a Cisco IOS configuration file before coming online. In Cisco IOS releases prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T, the download of the Cisco IOS configuration file was optional—if the download failed, the cable voice adapter would go online anyway.

Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T, if the DOCSIS configuration file specifies a download of a Cisco IOS configuration file, that download is required—if the download of the Cisco IOS configuration file fails for any reason, the Cisco CVA122 cable voice adapter will reset with the error message "CMAC_LOG_CONFIG_FILE_CISCO_BAD_TYPE" and attempt to reregister again.

Configuring the CMTS Cable Interface When in Routing Mode

If you have configured a Cisco CVA122 Cable Voice Adapter for routing mode and are also using the cable-modem dhcp-proxy nat command on the router, you must configure the corresponding cable interface on the Cisco CMTS with the cable dhcp-giaddr policy command.

Detecting Carrier Sense Errors

The Cisco CVA122 Cable Voice Adapter cannot detect carrier sense errors on the four Ethernet ports that connect the router to the subscriber's local area network. This is because the four Ethernet ports are provided by an internal hub that always provides a carrier sense signal to the Cisco IOS software, even if no Ethernet devices are connected to the external ports.

In particular, this means that the dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors attribute in ETHERLIKE-MIB (RFC 2665) will never indicate any drops in carrier of the Ethernet interface.

Additional Notes for the Cisco Voice Gateway 200

Introduction


Note The Cisco VG200 is designed and validated strictly for Cisco AVVID CallManager environments only. It is not intended, tested or supported for applications such as H.323 toll bypass or as a SIP GW.


The Cisco VG200 allows customers to connect Cisco IP telephony solution products such as IP phones to the PSTN or to PBX. Analog telephones or fax machines can also be connected. The compact Cisco VG200 chassis with a single 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet port would contain a network module (NM) that provides digital signal processor (DSP) resources, and VICs and/or VWICs, which are used to provide the physical voice interfaces.

A typical configuration includes a NM-2V network module and two VICs. These VICs can be any combination of foreign exchange station (FXS), foreign exchange office (FXO), ear and mouth (E&M), or Basic Rate Interface (BRI) (both user and network sides) for a total of four channels.

In another common configuration of the Cisco VG200, the digital T1/E1 packet voice trunk network module is used. The module can support up to 60 voice channels (two E1 interfaces in a single network module). this packet voice trunk module supports both on- and off-premise connections to PBXs and PSTNs.

With Cisco IOS Release 12.2(13)T, the NM-HDV card can be used to support not only digital voice termination, but also concurrent support for transcoding and conferencing services.

Additional Notes for the Cisco Voice Gateway 200

This section describes additional notes for the Cisco Voice Gateway 200 for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T.

Handling Incoming Caller ID Digits on an E&M Port

When an H.323 T1-CAS E&M port on the Cisco VG200 is used, incoming caller ID digits may not be processed correctly by Cisco IP interactive voice response (IVR) applications, such as Cisco IP Auto-Attendant.

Depending on the T1-CAS line provisioning, incoming dialed number identification service (DNIS) digits received by the Cisco VG200 after its first wink to the central office (CO) are treated as user-entered digits and are sent to the remote endpoint as out-of-band dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) digits. If the remote endpoint is a Cisco IP IVR application, the out-of-band digits will be interpreted as a user entry and will change the application response. There are two ways to handle this situation:

Request the T1 service provider to stop sending DNIS digits.

Configure an IP phone with the same directory number as the incoming DNIS, and then modify the "forward all" selection for this phone so that it sends the incoming call to the desired destination.

Managing Input Gain for Cisco IP Voice Applications

When using the FXO ports on a Cisco VG200, set the input gain greater than 10 to achieve adequate audio quality for use with Cisco IP voice applications or the Cisco IP Phone 7960. Enter the following series of commands from the Cisco IOS command line to set the correct value for input gain:

vg200# configure terminal
vg200(config)# voice-port x/x/x input gain <value> 

Permitted entries for <value> are from -6 to 14. Gain values higher than 12 may cause DTMF recognition difficulties.

Enabling DTMF Relay with MGCP

Ensure that you use the following MGCP configuration command for enabling DTMF relay. If this command is not configured, DTMF tones will be not be regenerated correctly on the remote endpoint. The required command is as follows:

router(config)# mgcp dtmf-relay codec all mode out-of-band

For further information about configuring MGCP, refer to the Software Configuration Guide for the Cisco VG200.

Additional Notes for the Cisco 800 Series

caller-id Command

When using the caller-id command, which appears under "dial-peer" in the configuration commands, the default setting is "off" for Japan and "on" for the United States. This command was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)XF.

DHCP Client Support

To configure the router for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client support, perform the following steps:


Step 1 Configure the Bridge Group Virtual Interface (BVI) by entering the ip address dhcp client-id ethernet0 command.

Specifying the value client-id ethernet0 causes the MAC address of the Ethernet interface to be used as the client ID when the DHCP request is sent. Otherwise, the MAC address of the BVI is used as the client ID.

Step 2 Configure Network Address Translation (NAT):

a. Configure the BVI by entering the nat outside command.

b. Configure the Ethernet interface by entering the nat inside command.

c. Create an access list under NAT by entering the access-list 1 permit ip-address command to match all Ethernet IP addresses.

d. Configure the source list under NAT by entering the ip nat inside source list 1 interface BVI 1 overload command.

The following is a sample configuration:

Downloading Images

Delete files in the router Flash memory before attempting to download new images.


Caution Use the delete command, not the erase command, to free up space. Entering the erase command removes all files, including the configuration.

Flash Memory

Cisco 800 series routers use 4 MB of Flash memory for storing internal information such as the ROM monitor. Only the remainder of the Flash memory is available for storing Cisco IOS images and is displayed by using the show flash command. For example, if the router reports 8 MB of Flash, the actual amount of onboard Flash memory is 12 MB, even though only 8 MB are displayed and available for Cisco IOS image storage.

Multilink PPP and Interleaving

Multilink PPP fragments large data packets to allow small voice packets to be interleaved between them. However, apart from FIFO queueing, no other kind of output queueing mechanisms are currently supported with PPP over ATM. Consequently, when multilink PPP is configured on the Cisco 800 series routers, large packets are fragmented, but small voice packets are not interleaved between them.

NAT Support for H.323 Signaling

NAT does not support alerting H.225 messages; therefore, NAT communication cannot be established between router endpoints. NAT support for H.323 signaling is limited to the application NetMeeting.

PPP over AAL5SNAP Encapsulation Support

PPP over AAL5SNAP encapsulation is currently not supported, although the context-sensitive help mentions that it can be configured.

Cisco 800 Series Router Clock—CSCdp09409

To run IP Security (IPSec) successfully, the Cisco 800 series router clock needs to be set accurately. Cisco 800 series router clocks are set and maintained using Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). For best results, set up a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server to periodically send time information messages to Cisco 800 series routers. See the SNTP configuration and command reference documentation for configuration instructions. If you do not have an NTP server, you must reset the Cisco 800 series router clock using the clock set command each time you restart the router.

Dial Peer Limitation

The isdn answer1 and isdn answer2 commands determine which called telephone numbers, for example, 555-1111 and 555-2222, a Cisco 800 series router can answer. Using these commands limits a router to using the two dial peers that contain the telephone numbers 555-1111 and 555-2222. (When not using these commands, a router can use up to six dial peers.)

A sample scenario in which the isdn answer1 and isdn answer2 commands are used is when a Cisco 801 or Cisco 803 router is connected with other ISDN devices to an ISDN SBus.

Excessive ISDN Line Activation

The following protocols send updates that can cause an ISDN line to be activated excessively, thereby increasing your monthly ISDN line cost:

IP

User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX)

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

For information on preventing this situation, refer to the Cisco 800 Series Routers Software Configuration Guide. This guide contains information on setting up extended access lists to prevent IP, UDP, IPX, and SNTP updates from activating the ISDN line. For CDP, ensure that you enter the no cdp enable command to disable CDP.

Hanging During Boot

If an illegal console configuration is issued to the router, the console will fail the POST test during boot and cause the router to hang. There is no way to recover a unit in this state except by pulling the soldered boot Flash and reburning the boot ROM.

This problem has been resolved in TinyROM version 1.0(3), a downloadable ROM upgrade available from Cisco.com. Please contact Cisco to upgrade to this version or later, and prevent this problem from occurring.

Phone Mate Answering Machine Model 9200

A Phone Mate answering machine model 9200 failed to recognize the ringing signal sent by AMD R79 ringing SLIC. This failure was confirmed by testing against Phone Mate model 3750 and the newer model 9300.

B-Channel Activation

When a call comes in, a B channel is activated. If the amount of traffic on the B channel exceeds a threshold, the other B channel is activated. If the amount of traffic falls below the threshold, one of the B channels is deactivated. The B channel that is initially activated when the call comes in is not necessarily B1, nor is the B channel that is deactivated when the traffic level lessens necessarily B2.

Additional Notes for the Cisco uBR905 Cable Access Router

Introduction

The DOCSIS-based Cisco uBR905 cable access router gives small office, home office (SOHO) and branch office subscribers high-speed Internet or intranet access. The Cisco uBR905 cable access router supports data traffic via a shared two-way cable system and IP backbone network. The Cisco uBR905 cable access router connects computers and other customer premises devices at a subscriber site to the service provider cable, hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC), and IP backbone network.

The Cisco uBR905 cable access router is based on Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) and interoperates with any bidirectional, DOCSIS-qualified cable modem termination system (CMTS). The Cisco uBR905 cable access router ships from the Cisco factory with a Cisco IOS software image stored in nonvolatile Flash memory that supports DOCSIS-compliant bridging data operations. The Cisco uBR905 cable access router functions as a cable modem at the subscriber site to convey data communications on the cable television system.

Based on the feature licenses your company purchased, other Cisco IOS images can be downloaded from Cisco.com. Special operating modes, based on your service offering and the practices in place for your network, can be supported for the Cisco uBR905 router, based on the available images in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)T. The Cisco uBR905 cable access router can also function as an advanced router, providing WAN data connectivity in a variety of configurations.


Note All Cisco uBR905 cable access router images support DOCSIS Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI) encryption. BPI is subject to export restrictions.


Cisco uBR905 Cable Access Router

The Cisco uBR905 cable access router features a single F-connector interface to the cable system, four RJ-45 (10BASE-T Ethernet) hub ports, and one RJ-45 console port to connect to a laptop computer/console terminal for local Cisco IOS configuration. The Cisco uBR905 cable access router also provides an onboard IPSec hardware accelerator, which provides high-performance encryption that is substantially faster than software-based encryption.

Memory Recommendations

For memory recommendations for the Cisco uBR905 and uBR925 cable access routers in Cisco IOS Release 12.2T, refer to the "Memory Recommendations" section.

Headend Interoperability

DOCSIS Concatenation

If DOCSIS concatenation with a 16-QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) symbol rate is used, the CMTS must be configured for Unique Word 16 in the preamble for both short and long data burst profiles. On the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers, use the cable modulation-profile global configuration command and specify "uw16" for both the long and short modulation profiles.

DOCSIS 1.0+ Extensions

Cisco IOS Release 12.1 XL images support the Cisco DOCSIS 1.0+ Extensions, which include dynamic multi-SID assignment and concatenation. To use the dynamic multi-SID and concatenation features, the Cisco uBR905 router and the CMTS router must support them. If you are using the Cisco uBR7200 series headend equipment as the CMTS router, Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1)T or a later release is required on the CMTS router to ensure that these features are activated.

To configure the Cisco uBR905 cable access router to support multiple classes of service, use either the Cisco Subscriber Registration Center (CSRC) tool or the configuration file editor of your choice. DOCSIS configuration files can contain multiple classes of service (CoS) to support voice and other real-time traffic. The first CoS is used for data (and voice if no other CoS is defined), and up to three additional classes of service can be defined to give higher priority for voice and other real-time traffic.

IPSec Encryption Support

To use IPSec encryption, the Cisco uBR905 cable access router and the destination endpoint must support IPSec encryption and be configured for the same encryption policy. The endpoint is typically an IPSec gateway such as a peer router, Cisco PIX Firewall, or other device that can be configured for IPSec. (The CMTS need not support IPSec encryption unless it is desired that the CMTS act as an IPSec gateway.)


Note The IPSec feature set encrypts traffic sent between endpoints, such as between two Cisco uBR905 cable access routers, to protect traffic sent across the Internet and other unprotected networks. The DOCSIS BPI feature encrypts traffic on the cable interface between the Cisco uBR905 cable access router and the CMTS. To use BPI encryption, the Cisco uBR905 cable access router and the CMTS must support and enable BPI encryption.


Hardware Supported

The Cisco uBR905 cable access router contains the following interfaces:

A single F-connector interface to the cable system.

Four RJ-45 (10BASE-T Ethernet) hub ports to connect:

Up to three computers directly to the four Ethernet hub ports at the rear of the Cisco uBR905 router when operating in bridging mode. When operating in routing mode, all four Ethernet hub ports can be connected directly to four computers.

One of the four Ethernet hub ports at the rear of the Cisco uBR905 router can be connected to an Ethernet hub, which then connects additional computers or devices at the site when operating in routing or bridging mode.

One RJ-45 console port (optional) to connect to a laptop computer or console terminal when locally configuring the Cisco uBR905 router; the router ships from the Cisco factory with the console port enabled.

The onboard hardware accelerator for IPSec encryption is automatically used by default to encrypt and decrypt all traffic protected by either 56-bit or 168-bit IPSec encryption.

For detailed descriptions of the new hardware features, see the "New and Changed Information" section on page 117.

Feature Support

For feature support in Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T, refer to the "Feature Support" section.

Limitations and Restrictions

Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T for the Cisco uBR905 cable access router contains the following limitations and restrictions.

Bridging Support

The Cisco uBR905 cable access router interoperates with DOCSIS cable networks. Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1)T does not support bridging traffic across a non-DOCSIS cable network.

DOCSIS CLI Commands are Removed

To comply with DOCSIS requirements that restrict access to commands that change DOCSIS parameters, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1)T has removed a number of commands from the CLI. The following commands and their no form are now reserved exclusively for DOCSIS use:

cable-modem downstream saved channel

cable-modem downstream symbol rate

cable-modem fast-search

cable-modem transmit-power

cable-modem upstream preamble qpsk

Cisco IOS Configuration File Download

The DOCSIS configuration file can contain an optional Vendor-Specific Information Field (VSIF) that instructs the Cisco uBR905/uBR925 cable access router to download a Cisco IOS configuration file before coming online. In Cisco IOS releases prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T, the download of the Cisco IOS configuration file was optional—if the download failed, the router would go online anyway.

Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T, if the DOCSIS configuration file specifies a download of a Cisco IOS configuration file, that download is required—if the download of the Cisco IOS configuration file fails for any reason, the Cisco uBR905/uBR925 cable access router will reset with the error message "CMAC_LOG_CONFIG_FILE_CISCO_BAD_TYPE" and attempt to reregister again.

Detecting Carrier Sense Errors

The Cisco uBR905 and Cisco uBR925 cable access routers cannot detect carrier sense errors on the four Ethernet ports that connect the router to the subscriber's local area network. This is because the four Ethernet ports are provided by an internal hub that always provides a carrier sense signal to the Cisco IOS software, even if no Ethernet devices are connected to the external ports.

In particular, this means that the dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors attribute in ETHERLIKE-MIB (RFC 2665) will never indicate any drops in carrier of the Ethernet interface.

IP Address Negotiation

The DOCSIS specifications require that a cable modem obtain its IP address at power-on or reset from a DHCP server that is available through the cable interface. For this reason, the cable access router defaults to a configuration that uses the ip address docsis command for the cable interface. It is not possible to override this setting by specifying a static IP address; to assign a static IP address to the Cisco uBR905 router, configure the DHCP server so that it assigns the desired IP address on the basis of the unit MAC address.


Note The ip address negotiated command cannot be used on the cable interface because this command is reserved exclusively for the serial interface. However, in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1)T when the ip address docsis command is used for cable interfaces, the configuration files still show the ip address negotiated command, which can generate an "invalid input" error during boot. This is only a cosmetic issue and does not affect the functionality of the unit.


Upgrading Software Images Using BPI

To enable BPI encryption, the cable access router must use a Cisco IOS image that supports BPI encryption. If the current software image of the router does not support BPI encryption (or if the current software image is corrupted), you must disable BPI encryption in the DOCSIS configuration file and reset the router before you will be able to download a new software image.

Using Access Lists 170 and 171

Access lists 170, 171, and 172 are reserved for DOCSIS use and should never be configured manually on the Cisco uBR905/uBR925 cable access router. Use the other access lists between 100 through 199 instead.

Using Multiple PCs with the Cisco uBR905/uBR925 Cable Access Router

The "MAX CPE" parameter in a Cisco uBR905/uBR925 cable access router DOCSIS configuration file determines how many PCs (or other CPE devices) are supported by the Cisco uBR905 cable access router. The default value for the "MAX CPE" parameter is 1, which means only one PC can be connected to the Cisco uBR905 cable access router.

The DOCSIS 1.0 specification states that a CMTS cannot age-out MAC addresses for CPE devices, so the first PC that is connected to the Cisco uBR905/uBR925 cable access router is normally the only one that the CMTS recognizes as valid. If a subscriber replaces an existing PC or changes its network interface card (NIC) to one that has a different MAC address, the CMTS will refuse to let the PC come online because the maximum number of CPE devices specified by the "MAX CPE" parameter would be exceeded. The CMTS will also refuse to let the PC come online if a user decides to move a PC from one Cisco uBR905/uBR925 router to another.

To allow a subscriber to replace an existing PC or NIC, the following workarounds are possible:

If using a Cisco uBR7200 series router as the CMTS, enter the clear cable host MAC address command on the Cisco uBR7200 series router to remove the MAC address from the internal address tables of the router from the PC. The new PC will be rediscovered and associated with the correct Cisco uBR905/uBR925 cable access router during the next DHCP lease cycle.

Increase the value of the "MAX CPE" parameter in the Cisco uBR905/uBR925 cable access router's DOCSIS configuration file so that it can accommodate the desired number of PCs. Reset the Cisco uBR905/uBR925 cable access router to force it to load the new configuration file.

Using the Reset Switch

The reset switch on the back panel of the Cisco uBR905/uBR925 Cable Access Router is recessed to prevent accidental resets of the router. To depress the switch, use a blunt object, such as a pen or pencil point; do not use a sharp object, such as a knife or awl, because sharp objects could damage the switch and the circuitry of the router.

Additional Notes for the Cisco uBR905 Cable Access Router

This section contains important information about using the Cisco uBR924 cable access router with Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T software.

Configuring the CMTS Cable Interface When in Routing Mode

If you have configured a Cisco uBR905 or Cisco uBR925 cable access router for routing mode and are also using the cable-modem dhcp-proxy nat command on the router, you must configure the corresponding cable interface on the Cisco CMTS with the cable dhcp-giaddr policy command.

CPE Device Filtering

In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a)XL1 and later releases, the "docsDevCpeIpMax" attribute defaults to -1 instead of the default of 1, which was used in previous releases. This attribute controls the maximum number of CPE devices that can pass traffic through the router from its Ethernet interface as follows:

When "docsDevCpeIpMax" is set to -1, the Cisco uBR905 cable access router does not filter any IP packets on the basis of their IP addresses, and CPE IP addresses are not added to the "docsDevFilterCpeTable" table.

When "docsDevCpeIpMax" is set to 0, the Cisco uBR905 cable access router does not filter any IP packets on the basis of the IP addresses. However, the source IP addresses are still entered into the "docsDevFilterCpeTable" table.

When "docsDevCpeIpMax" is set to a positive integer, it specifies the maximum number of IP addresses that can be entered into the "docsDevFilterCpeTable" table. The Cisco uBR905 cable access router compares the source IP address for packets it receives from CPE devices to the addresses in this table. If a match is found, the packet is processed; otherwise, the packet is dropped.

CPE IP address filtering is done as part of the following process:

1. MAC address filtering—Packets are filtered on the basis of the MAC address for the CPE device. The filter is controlled by the value of the "MAX CPE" parameter, which is set in the DOCSIS configuration file.

2. Logical Link Control (LLC) filtering—Packets are filtered on the basis of the protocol for the packets. The filter is controlled by the "docsDevFilterLLCTable" table.

3. CPE IP address filtering—Packets are filtered on the basis of the IP address for the CPE device, as controlled by the "docsDevCpeIpMax" attribute and the "docsDevFilterCpeTable" table.

4. Access list filtering—Packets are filtered on the basis of access lists. IP filtering is controlled by the "docsDevFilterIpTable" table, and SNMP access filters are controlled by the "docsDevNmAccessTable" table.

See theDOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB.my MIB for more information on the attributes and tables listed.

Disabling the Finger Server

By default, the Cisco uBR900 series cable access router enables its onboard TCP/IP "finger" server to allow remote users to query the number and identities of any users that are logged in to the router. Unless your network operations center (NOC) requires this service, it should be disabled to prevent denial of service attacks that access the well-known port (TCP port 79) of the finger server. To disable the finger server, include the no service finger command in the Cisco IOS configuration file that the router downloads at initial power-on.

Supported MIBs

The Cisco uBR905 cable access router supports the following categories of MIBs:

Cable device MIBs—These MIBs are for DOCSIS-compliant cable modems and CMTS to record statistics related to the configuration and status of the cable modem. These MIBs include support for the MIB attributes defined in RFC 2669.

Cisco standard MIBs—These MIBs are common across most of the Cisco router platforms. If your network management applications are already configured to support other Cisco routers, such as the Cisco 2600 series or Cisco 7200 series, no further configuration is needed unless the version of Cisco IOS software being used has updated these MIBs.

Radio Frequency Interface MIBs—These MIBs are for DOCSIS-compliant radio frequency interfaces in cable modems and CMTS. This MIB includes support for the MIB attributes defined in RFC 2670.

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

Cable-specific MIBs—These MIBs provide information about the cable interface and related information on the Cisco uBR905 cable access router. They include both DOCSIS-required MIBs and Cisco-specific enterprise MIBs. If your network management applications have not already been configured for the Cisco uBR905 cable access router, these MIBs must be loaded.

Deprecated MIBs—These MIBs were 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.

Cable Device MIBs

The Cisco uBR905 cable access router supports the Cable Device MIB, which is defined by RFC 2669 and describes DOCSIS-compliant cable modems and CMTS. The Cable Device MIB records statistics related to the configuration and status of the cable modem. Statistics include an events log and device status. The following list details the components of the Cable Device MIB:

docsDevBase group extends the MIB-II "system" group with objects needed for cable device system management.

docsDevNmAccess group provides a minimum level of SNMP access security.

docsDevSoftware group provides information for network downloadable software upgrades.

docsDevServer group provides information about the progress of interaction with various provisioning servers.

docsDevEvent group provides information about the progress of reporting.

docsDevFilter group configures filters at the link layer and IP layer for bridge data traffic.

The Cable Device MIB is very similar to the Radio Frequency Interface (RFI) MIB in that both allow access to statistics; they are different in that the Cable Device MIB reports statistics on the cable modem, and the RFI MIB reports statistics on the radio frequency transmissions over the cable television line.

Cisco Standard MIBs

The Cisco uBR905 cable access router supports the Cisco Standard MIBs, which consist of the following components:

CISCO-PRODUCT-MIB

CISCO-SYSLOG-MIB

CISCO-FLASH-MIB

BRIDGE-MIB

IF-MIB (RFC 2233)

CiscoWorks/CiscoView support


Note The Cisco Management Information Base (MIB) User Quick Reference publication is no longer published. For the latest list of MIBs supported by Cisco, see the Cisco Network Management Toolkit on Cisco.com. From the Cisco.com home page, click this path: Service & Support: Software Center: Network Mgmt Products: Cisco Network Management Toolkit: Cisco MIB


Radio Frequency Interface MIBs

The Cisco uBR905 cable access router supports the Radio Frequency Interface (RFI) MIB. The RFI MIB module is defined in RFC 2670 and describes DOCSIS-compliant radio frequency interfaces in cable modems and CMTS. On the cable modem, RFI MIB entries provide the following features:

Upstream and downstream channel characteristics

Class-of-service attributes

Physical signal quality of the downstream channels

Attributes of cable access router MAC interface

Status of several MAC-layer counters

The RFI MIB includes tables describing both the CMTS and the cable modem side of the cable interface. All cable modem tables are implemented.

With IPSec, data can be sent across a public network without fear of observation, modification, or spoofing. IPSec enables applications such as VPNs, extranets, and remote user access.

IPSec services are similar to those provided by Cisco Encryption Technology, a proprietary Cisco security solution. However, IPSec provides a more robust security solution, and is standards based.

Cable-Specific MIBs

Table 6 shows the cable-specific MIBs that are supported on the Cisco uBR905 cable access router. This table also provides a brief description of each of the MIB 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.


Note The names given in Table 6 are the filenames for the MIBs as they exist on the Cisco FTP site http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs/index.htm Most MIBs are available in both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 versions; the SNMPv1 versions have V1SMI as part of their filenames. Also refer to the Cisco MIBs home page at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.

Deprecated MIBs

A number of Cisco-provided MIBs have been replaced with more scalable, standardized MIBs; these MIBs have filenames that start with "OLD" and first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.2. The functionality of these MIBs has already been incorporated into replacement MIBs, but the old MIBs are still present to support existing Cisco IOS products or network management system (NMS) applications. However, because the deprecated MIBs will be removed from support, you should update your network management applications and scripts to refer to the table names and attributes that are found in the replacement MIBs.

Table 7 shows the deprecated MIBs and their replacements. In most cases, SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 replacements are available, but some MIBs are available only in one version. A few of the deprecated MIBs do not have replacement MIBs; support for these MIBs will be discontinued in a future release of Cisco IOS software.

Additional Notes for the Cisco 1400 Series Routers

This section contains important information about using Cisco IOS Release 12.2T software.

Multipartition Flash Default

When a multipartition Flash memory card is used, the various Flash partitions are referred to as "flash:1:", "flash:2:", and so on. If you specify only "flash" in a multipartition Flash, the parser assumes "flash:1:". For example, if you enter the show flash all command the parser defaults to "show flash:1: all" and only the Flash information for the first partition displays. To see information for all Flash memory partitions, enter the show flash ? command. This information will list all of the valid partitions. Then enter the show flash:xx: all command on each valid partition.

Traffic Shaping

On the ATM25 interface of the Cisco 1400 series there are two types of traffic shaping: hardware-based and software-based. Hardware-based traffic shaping is provided by the ATM SAR chip and is enabled on a per-PVC basis by one of the following Cisco IOS PVC configuration commands:

ubr peak-cell-rate

ubr+ peak-cell-rate minimum-guaranteed-cell-rate

vbr-nrt peak-cell-rate sustainable-cell-rate maximum-burst-size

The SAR chip has "rate counters" that control the rate at which the current buffer up for segmentation will be sent. Ideally, the SAR chip could be programmed with values for all of the command parameters shown. Unfortunately, it has only the rate counters, which specify a divisor of the basic line rate of 25 Mbps and which set the maximum transmission rate (peak cell rate) for the channel. Note that with the ubr and ubr+ commands, the rate counter for the PVC is obtained from the peak-cell-rate parameter. With the vbr-nrt command, the rate counter is obtained from the sustainable-cell-rate parameter. Although the minimum-guaranteed-cell-rate parameter in the ubr+ command and the peak-cell-rate parameter in the vbr-nrt command can be specified by the user, they are ignored by the ATM25 driver.

Software-based traffic shaping is enabled on a per-interface basis via the traffic-shape interface configuration command. For performance reasons, and because for ATM interfaces you most likely want to do shaping on a per-PVC basis, the ATM driver does not support software-based traffic shaping while fast-switching. However, if fast switching is disabled and the traffic-shape interface configuration command is enabled, software traffic shaping will occur. (Refer to CSCdk28377 for more information.)

Additional Notes for the Cisco 1700 Series Routers

SmartInit

The following points have to be noted while using SmartInit.

If the user had configured no memory-size iomem from a pre-SmartInit image (old image) and a SmartInit image is loaded on the router, the router will boot with SmartInit enabled. The running-config will not display any memory-size iomem CLI.

If the user had configured memory-size iomem 10 from a pre-SmartInit image and a SmartInit image is loaded on the router, the router will boot with SmartInit enabled. Because of this, the iomem size may not be 10% (as expected on a pre-SmartInit image).

If the user configures memory-size iomem 10 on a SmartInit image, it would be displayed in the running-config and startup-config. This is different from the pre-SmartInit that does not display memory-size iomem 10 because 10% is the default iomem size.

If the user configured iomem size is too low or too high, the iomem size calculated by the SmartInit image will be different from the configured value, but the running-config will still display the configured value only. The user can get the actual iomem size using show version or show memory.

Using the boot flash Command

Booting a Cisco 1700 series router with the boot flash or boot system flash commands results in unpredictable behavior. To work around this problem, be sure to enter a colon (:) following both commands (for example, boot flash: or boot system flash:).

Fan Operation in Cisco 1700 Series Routers

Be advised that the fans in the Cisco 1700 series routers stay off until thermally activated (45°C/115°F).

Multipartition Flash Defaults

When using a multipartition Flash card, the various flash partitions are referred to as "flash:1:", "flash:2:", and so on. If you specify only "flash" in a multipartition flash, the parser assumes "flash:1:". For example, if you enter the show flash all command, the parser defaults to "show flash:1: all" and only the Flash information for the first partition displays. To display information for allFlash partitions, enter the show flash ? command which will list all of the valid partitions. Then enter the show flash:xx: all command on each valid partition.

Introduction

The Cisco IAD2400 Series Integrated Access Devices are fixed configuration multiservice customer premises equipment (CPE) platforms, targeted at emerging competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs), and inter-exchange carriers (IXCs). The Cisco IAD2420 series enables service providers to cost effectively deploy next generation managed services for the growing needs of small and medium businesses (SMB) over a single high speed access link. The Cisco IAD2400 series products support both Voice over IP (VoIP) and Voice over ATM (VoAAL2), with high-density analog or digital voice interfaces.

The Cisco IAD2420 is an IP ONLY platform. It does not support other LAN protocols like IPX, Appletalk, or SNA. Additionally, the IAD2400 series only supports Simple Gateway control Protocol (SGCP) and Media Gateway Control Protocol 0.1 (MGCP). It does not support H.323 or session initiation protocol (SIP) for voice signaling.

The IAD series is a fixed configuration platform and comes with the required Flash memory and RAM for the operation of the platform. Customers do not need to acquire memory separately. Table 9 lists Cisco IAD2400 series product numbers with the corresponding WAN and telephony interfaces.

Additional Notes for Cisco IAD2420

IAD2400 Series Supports PPPoE over ADSL and G.shdsl

PPPoE provides the ability to connect a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote access concentrator where each host utilizes its own PPP stack. And the user gets a familiar interface.

PPPoE provides service-provider DSL support. In service-provider DSL deployments, PPPoE facilitates consumer end adoption by leveraging Ethernet scale curves and by using an embedded base.

Caveat CSCdr91706 and IOS HTTP Vulnerability

A defect in multiple releases of Cisco IOS software will cause a Cisco router or switch to halt and reload if the IOS HTTP service is enabled, browsing to http://router-ip/anytext?/ is attempted, and the enable password is supplied when requested. This defect can be exploited to produce a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability, identified as Cisco bug ID CSCdr91706, affects virtually all mainstream Cisco routers and switches running Cisco IOS software releases 12.0 through 12.1, inclusive. This is not the same defect as CSCdr36952.

The vulnerability has been corrected and Cisco is making fixed releases available for free to replace all affected IOS releases. Customers are urged to upgrade to releases that are not vulnerable to this defect, as shown in detail below.

This vulnerability can only be exploited if the enable password is known or not set.

You are strongly encouraged to read the complete advisory, which is available at

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/ioshttpserverquery-pub.shtml.

Product Number Change

Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)XK, Cisco changed the product numbers used to order a specific Cisco IOS software image. In short, Cisco will remove the periods separating the release train, maintenance release, and build number. The following table provides some examples.

Additional Notes for the Cisco 3600 Series

CLI Command Added

The following command-line interface (CLI) command was added to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)T and is available in later versions:

ip qos dscp [0-63 | af11-af43 | cs1-cs7 | default | ef] [media | signaling]

This command replaces the ip precedence 0-7 VoIP dial-peer command. It implements RFC 2474, which specifies bits 0 to 5 of the IP ToS byte as the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), with acceptable values ranging from 0 to 63. Traffic is treated in a unique manner according to the value of the DSCP. The expected treatment of this marked traffic is defined as a per-hop behavior (PHB). RFC 2474 also defines a set of PHBs to forward traffic at least as well as expected with the IP precedence bits (bits 0 to 2) of the old ToS byte marked. The DSCP values for these precedence compatible behaviors are xxx000, with the values of xxx ranging from 1 to 7 and the code points called Class Selector Code Points (cs1-cs7 in the command above). The default value is 000000 for media and signaling.

Two other RFCs have also defined PHBs. RFC 2597 defines the Assured Forwarding PHB Group. With Assured Forwarding (af11-af43), bits 0 to 2 represent the class of traffic stream, and bits 3 to 5 represent the drop priority of a traffic stream. RFC 2598 defines the Expedited Forwarding PHB Group and is intended to be used with media streams. Because it is possible that more PHB groups will be defined or that end users will want to experiment with a DSCP of their own, you may configure a DSCP with a value of 0 to 63 (rather than being limited to only the currently-defined PHBs).

The recommended values are ip qos dscp ef media and ip qos dscp af31 signaling.

Feature Support

Additional Notes for the Cisco MC3810 Multiservice Access Concentrator

Introduction

The Cisco MC3810 multiservice access concentrator is fully supported by Cisco IOS software for multiprotocol routing, bridging, and Systems Network Architecture (SNA). As part of an enterprise backbone or as a CPE device to serve provider-managed network services, the Cisco MC3810 reduces operating costs and complexity, and increases network throughput and performance.

The Cisco MC3810 provides a complete file system for software images, message files, and reports. The standard Flash memory size is 8 MB. A 16-MB upgrade option is available. The 16-MB version can hold two code images simultaneously for fail-safe upgrades.

Management and configuration of the Cisco MC3810 should be familiar to the Cisco IOS user and compatible with existing management systems. As such, it provides a superset of the Cisco command-line interface (CLI). The Cisco MC3810 can be managed by standard Cisco management platforms and facilities such as CiscoView and the native remote login facilities provided by Telnet and rlogin. Three types of configuration interfaces are provided as follows:

Cisco CLI

HTTP-based configuration server

SNMP-based MIB

The HTTP-based interface allows configuration from any web browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) MIB allows management of the Cisco MC3810 from SNMP managers (for example, HP OpenView).

Memory Recommendations

For memory recommendations for the Cisco MC3810 in Cisco IOS Release 12.2T, refer to the "Memory Recommendations" section.

Hardware Supported

Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T supports the Cisco MC3810 multiservice access concentrator. The Cisco MC3810 base chassis is a semifixed configuration router that can be customized for a specific application at the factory or in the field by a qualified technician. The base chassis includes the following components:

One fixed Ethernet LAN port

A console port and an auxiliary port

Two synchronous serial ports

Five mounting areas for functional modules that support additional capabilities

AC, DC, or redundant power supply option

Cisco MC3810 series concentrators are supplied in various standard hardware configurations. These concentrators are equipped with different sets of functional modules to provide specific functional capability. Many configurations are possible, but they are all variations of the basic categories described in Table 16. Supported hardware is shown in Table 17. The chassis opening for any mounting area that is not equipped with a functional module is closed off with a removable cover plate.

For detailed descriptions of the new hardware features, see the "New and Changed Information" section on page 117.

Additional Notes for the Cisco MC3810 Multiservice Access Concentrator

Using the Cisco MC3810 with QSIG or BRI

Serial port 1 is restricted to DCE operation in the following scenarios:

Q (point of the ISDN model) Signaling (QSIG) is enabled.

BRI voice module (BVM) is installed and BRI is enabled.

BRI S/T backup port is installed and enabled on the multiflex trunk module (MFT).

Using the Cisco MC3810 with the PSTN

This section includes important notes regarding use of the Cisco MC3810 with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN):

Connections to the PSTN—Exercise care when connecting switched voice ports on the Cisco MC3810 directly to the PSTN because improper configurations can expose a corporate network to telephone fraud.

Switched access from the PSTN—The Cisco MC3810 can connect a user from the PSTN directly to the corporate wide-area telephone network. You can configure the Cisco MC3810 as a phone switch that can switch a user to any location in that network, even to remote locations that are connected again to another PSTN. However, the Cisco MC3810 does not provide any mechanism to restrict users from calling after they are connected. Without proper network design, this condition could result in the unauthorized use of the corporate network for making calls at the expense of the corporation. To prevent the unauthorized use of the network from occurring, we do not recommend connecting a switched voice interface on the Cisco MC3810 directly to the PSTN. Instead, it should connect to a PBX that implements a security scheme that prevents unauthorized use.

Nonswitched calls—The same opportunity for illicit use does not exist for nonswitched call types such as pass-through connections, although the possibility for fraud does exist at the direct contact point. Pass-through calls create a path to only a single location specified by the network administrator. For example, a pass-through connection might be used to pass a trunk from a PBX to the PSTN. In this case, the trunk on the PBX always passes straight through the Cisco MC3810 to the PSTN. As a result, the necessary security is provided by the PBX.

Maximum Operating Temperature

The maximum operating temperature of the AGM card is 35 degrees Celsius.

Tighten Screws on VICs and WICs

To properly install interface cards on the AGM, you must tighten the screws as securely as possible. If you do not properly tighten the screws, a voice interface card (VIC) or WAN interface card (WIC) could malfunction.

TDM Clocking

You can derive the time-division multiplexing (TDM) clock reference on the AGM from one of seven sources. Each VIC slot that contains an E1 or T1 card has five free-running, onboard clock sources and two recovered clock sources.

The default reference is the onboard clock. You can use the frame-clock-select command to select one of the E1/T1 ports as the primary reference. You can also use the frame-clock-select command to select up to three prioritized backups, if the primary clock fails. If you switch over to a backup source, the system does not revert back to the status of the original clock source.

The frame-clock-select command has the following syntax:

[no] frame-clock-select priority E1/T1 slot/port

The clock source with priority one is the primary reference, and the clock source with priority four is the lowest priority backup.

The clock reference selection that uses the frame-clock-select command is independent from the clock reference selection on an E1/T1 controller. If you use the onboard clock as the reference, you can observe framing and CRC errors, which are caused by clock slips on E1/T1 interfaces.

Need to Support 56 kbps Operation for Slot 3 WIC

If you configure the MCC SI RAM for two entries, a defect on the 8260 Rev1A device on the AGM can cause data corruption (7 bits form the 56 kbps channel and 1 bit is discarded). Because there is not enough available space to use three SI RAM entries as a workaround, only 64kbps channels are supported. If you need to use 56kbps channels, use the WIC-56K4 WIC.

Feature Support

Introduction

The Cisco AS5300 is a versatile data communications platform that performs two functions in a single modular chassis, depending on the installed feature cards and Cisco IOS images:

Remote Access Server

Voice Gateway

The remote access server is intended for Internet service providers (ISPs), telecommunications carriers, and other service providers that offer managed Internet connections and medium to large sites that provide both digital and analog access to users on an enterprise network. By terminating both analog and digital calls on the same chassis simultaneously, the access server provides a clear, simple, and easy migration path from analog dial access services to digital dial access services.

The Cisco AS5300 Voice Gateway is a versatile data communications platform that provides the functions of an access server, router, and digital modem(s) in a single modular chassis. The Cisco AS5300 includes three feature card slots: one holds a T1/E1/PRI feature card, and the other two support modem feature cards or voice digital signal processor (DSP) feature cards. When equipped with modem cards, the Cisco AS5300 serves as a remote access concentrator for dial-up (modem or ISDN) Internet access. When equipped with voice feature cards and Voice IOS, the Cisco AS5300/Voice Gateway serves as a Voice over IP (VoIP) gateway. By using one slot for modems and the other for voice DSPs, the Cisco AS5300 can serve in both capacities. Modem, voice, or fax calls are routed to the appropriate cards/resources via Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS).

Additional Notes for Cisco 5800 Universal Access Servers

Introduction

The Cisco AS5800 universal access server is a high-density, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), and modem Wide Area Network (WAN) aggregation systems that provide digital and analog call termination. They are intended to be used as a service provider dial point-of-presence (POP) or centralized enterprise dial gateway. The Cisco AS5800 consists of a dial shelf and one or two router shelves:

The Cisco DS5814 (dial shelf) has 14 slots and can support 1 or 2 dial shelf controller cards and up to 12 feature cards to provide full analog modem, and ISDN coverage. Analog calls are terminated by a feature card that is loaded with integrated modems.

ISDN calls are terminated onboard the trunk card on High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) controllers. The E1 trunk, T1 trunk, and the CT3 trunk cards include channel service units (CSUs) and have either 12 E1 ports, 12 T1 ports, or 28 T1 ports (within the CT3 trunk) that can operate as Primary Rate Interfaces (PRIs), inter-machine trunks (IMTs), or channelized interfaces in any combination. The specific trunk card limitations are described in Table 21, Part 1.


Note T1 and E1 cards are not supported in the same box.


The Cisco RS7206VXR (router shelf) contains a network processing engine, an I/O controller, and the egress interfaces, such as High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), Fast Ethernet (FE), Gigabit Ethernet (GE), and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and supports either 280W AC-input or 280W DC-input redundant power. The router shelf also may contain one or two dial shelf interconnect port adapters each with a single RJ-45 receptacle, which is used to connect the router shelf to the Cisco 5814 dial shelf. The interconnect port adapter connects directly to the dial shelf controller card on the dial shelf via a Cisco-proprietary cable, customized with jack screws to secure the connection. You must use this specially designed cable that ships with your interconnect port adapter. Each router shelf can only be connected to one dial shelf controller card. If the dial shelf configured in split mode, it must be connected to two separate router shelves.


Note The router shelf is only supported for routing data to and from the dial shelf. The router should not be used with multiple port adapter interfaces to route LAN traffic between multiple networks.


The AC-input power shelf is an optional component of the Cisco AS5800 universal access servers and is used to convert AC-input power into DC-output power for the DC-powered Cisco 5814 dial shelf. The AC-input power shelf contains two AC-input power supplies.

The AC-input to DC-output connection supplies -48V DC-output power to the dial shelf power entry modules (PEMs). The PEMs receive the -48V and transmit power to the filter module. Power flows through the filter module to the backplane, where it is distributed to the dial shelf controller card(s) and feature cards.

The AC-input power shelf includes two 2,000 W, AC-input power supplies that plug into a common power backplane in the AC-input power shelf. A single AC-input power supply is capable of powering a fully configured Cisco 5814 dial shelf. The second power supply provides full redundancy.

Note The Cisco 7500 series images (all rsp images) have been deferred in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)T. For additional information about the deferral and the software solution, refer to the "Cisco 7500 Series Images Deferred Because of Caveat CSCdu01272" section on page 405.


Microcode and Modem Code Software

Microcode software images are bundled with the system software image—with the exception of the Channel Interface Processor (CIP) microcode (all system software images). Bundling eliminates the need to store separate microcode images. When the router starts, the system software unpacks the microcode software bundle and loads the proper software on all the interface processor boards. Table 26 lists the current microcode versions for the Cisco 7000 family.

You could have received a later version of modem code than the one bundled with the Cisco IOS software. The modem code in Flash memory is mapped to the modems. Unless you fully understand how Cisco IOS software uses modem code, it is important to keep the factory configuration.

Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers

This section contains the following sections with information that is specific to the uBR7200 series universal broadband routers:

Introduction

Memory Recommendations

System Interoperability

Feature Support

Limitations and Restrictions

Supported MIBS

Introduction

The Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers—the Cisco uBR7223, the Cisco uBR7246, and the Cisco uBR7246 VXR—are based on the Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) standards. Each is designed to be installed at a service provider headend facility.

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. These routers function as the cable modem termination system (CMTS) for subscriber-end devices such as Cisco uBR904 and Cisco uBR924 cable access routers, and other DOCSIS-compliant cable modems (CMs) and set-top boxes (STBs).

For cable plants not fully upgraded to support two-way cable transmission, the routers support DOCSIS-compliant telco return, where the cable modem return path to the CMTS is via a dialup telephone line connection instead of an upstream channel over the coaxial cable. The telco-return delivery mechanism enables cable operators to accelerate deployment of high-speed data services before the cable systems are upgraded to two-way plants.

The introduction of the WT2700 Wireless Technology Suite also allows the Cisco uBR7223, the Cisco uBR7246, and the Cisco uBR7246 VXR universal broadband routers to become a two-way high-speed point-to-point broadband fixed wireless system that provides a fixed, dedicated wireless link from one headend site to another. This link delivers full-duplex data in unlicensed U-NII band (5.725 to 5.825 GHz). The WT2700 Wireless Technology Suite includes the point-to-point wireless modem card, which is installed in the Cisco uBR7200 series chassis, and the power feed panel, which is an external component.

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, and ATM media.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T supports cable and fixed wireless system configurations using the Cisco uBR7246 VXR, Cisco uBR7246, and Cisco uBR7223.

Note Earlier release notes stated that the NPE-175 was also supported on the Cisco uBR7200 series routers. Because the NPE-175 has reached its end of life and was never made orderable on the Cisco uBR7200 series routers, it has been removed from the table.



Note Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers are not supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2T beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T.


Memory Recommendations

For memory recommendations for the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers in Cisco IOS Release 12.2T, refer to the "Memory Recommendations" section. Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers are available with a 16-MB or 20-MB Type II PCMCIA Flash memory card.

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 the CM. BPI ensures that a CM, uniquely identified by its MAC address, can obtain keying material for services that only it is authorized to access.

To enable BPI, choose software at both the CMTS and the CM that support the mode of operation. For the Cisco uBR7200 series software, choose an image with "k1" in its filename 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 via 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 the following cable modems:

DOCSIS-based two-way CMs that support basic Internet access, VoIP, or VPN.

Telco-return CMs—To support telco return, use a Cisco uBR7200 series software image that contains "t" in its filename. The telco-return CM must be DOCSIS-based or compliant, and must be configured to support telco return.


Note Some third-party telco-return CMs cannot receive traffic over the same downstream channel as CMs operating on a two-way data system. In these instances, segment your cable plant to allow more than one downstream channel.


EuroDOCSIS CMs or set-top boxes (STBs) with integrated EuroDOCSIS CMs using Cisco MC16E Cable Modem Cards and Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1a)T1 or later releases. EuroDOCSIS operation support includes 8-MHz Phase Alternating Line (PAL) or Systeme Electronique Couleur Avec Memoire (SECAM) channel plans.

DOCSIS 1.0 extensions—The Cisco uBR7200 series supports DOCSIS 1.0 quality of service (QoS) extensions that include the following features:

Multi-SID support, allowing the definition of multiple Service IDs (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 scheduling) on the upstream—This service 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 ability 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 via dynamic MAC messages or the feature set. If the CMs in your network are pure DOCSIS 1.0-based, they will receive regular DOCSIS 1.0 treatment from the CMTS.


Clock synchronization—The Cisco uBR7200 series supports 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 uBR7246 VXR chassis must be used. The Cisco uBR7246 VXR must contain a clock card and an MC16S or MC16E Cable Modem Card. Only the MC16S and the MC16E Cable Modem Cards support the external clock reference from the clock card to distribute that signal to CMs or set-top boxes (STBs) attached to the specific network segments. The chassis must be running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1a)T1 or a later release.

Each cable modem must also supports VoIP applications and the clock reference feature set to enable synchronized timing. The Cisco uBR924 cable access router, running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)T or a later release, supports the clock reference feature set automatically.
