Information About Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture – Proactive Network Management

Proactive Network Management (PNM) enables you to measure and report conditions in the network. The PNM detects, identifies, and quantifies undesired impacts to the network, such as cable faults and ingress noise. The DOCSIS 3.1 PHY specification defines the different types of tests and measurements that can be performed at CCAP and CM. You can leverage this information to make the necessary modifications that can improve conditions and monitor networking trends to detect when network improvements are needed.

Cisco cBR supports Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture. The upstream triggered spectrum analysis measurement provides a wideband spectrum analyzer in the CCAP which can be triggered to examine desired upstream transmissions as well as underlying noise or interference during a quiet period.

The PNM tests and receives data output from the CMTS using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) objects. The PNM feature is supported on RPHY.

The following Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture objects are supported:

  • UsTriggeredSpectrumCaptureFile

  • UsTriggeredSpectrumCaptureCfg

  • UsTriggeredSpectrumCaptureCtrl

  • UsTriggeredSpectrumCaptureStatus

  • UsTriggeredSpectrumCaptureCapabilities

  • CCAPBulkDataControl

The Cisco cBR router provides the ability to trigger spectrum sample capture and perform spectrum analysis using the FreeRun mode, which is a continuous mode with a maximum of 10 samples per second stacked on each capture file).

Proactive Network Management for Supervisor High Availability, Line Card High Availability and containers

PNM Supervisor High Availability support ensures that all captures are stopped and all the captures states in the Line Card and Supervisor client are cleaned up when Supervisor High Availability happens. You can create new capture configurations and initiate tests on the newly active supervisor through SNMP.

cBR supports Line Card High Availability and Line Card Process Restart for Proactive Network Management, and will support the restart of any test in progress.

Active syncing of capture data between active and standby SUP is not supported for Proactive Network Management. After switchover, all new captures must be configured by the user/client again.

Bulk Data Transfer MIBs enables configuration of the following paramters for PNM:

  • TFTP server bulk data transfer IP address

  • TFTP server bulk data transfer path

How to Configure Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture – Proactive Network Management

The PNM IOX container is used for the TFTP transfer of capture files to user configured destination server. The guestshell IOX container for TFTP transfer of PNM files is supported. The PNM executable is built into the guestshell packaged as part of cbr8 image. This executable must be installed on both active and standby SUP manually.

Before you begin

The CCAP supports one client configuration per port on a line card. You must create a capture configuration entry before attempting to start or stop the capture tests. One capture configuration for the FreeRun trigger mode is defined by the interface index key for the UsTriggeredSpectrumCaptureCfg object.

Only one capture per end user client per port is supported at a time. Hence, the CCAP sets the Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture configuration index to 1. A PNM MIB query for Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture configuration index other than 1 is not supported. The Cisco cBR router supports a maximum of eight captures on upstream ports per line card and a maximum of 20 captures per Cisco cBR-8 router for RPHY.

The following scenarios are not supported:

  • UsTriggeredSpectrumCaptureResult MIB

  • Simultaneous captures on adjacent ports on CLC

  • RPD support captures only one us-port per RPD at a given time.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Ensure that the guestshell container is running before the captures are started to ensure successful TFTP operation. Use the show app-hosting list command to check if the guestshell container is running.
  2. The app-hosting CLI is used to install, deploy, start and stop the IOX container.
  3. Ensure that the python is running on the guestshell container.
  4. Ensure that the PNM tftp process is active and running on the guestshell container.

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

Ensure that the guestshell container is running before the captures are started to ensure successful TFTP operation. Use the show app-hosting list command to check if the guestshell container is running.

Example:


Router# show app-hosting list 
App id                           Stat
----------------------------------------------------- 
guestshell                        RUNNING
Step 2

The app-hosting CLI is used to install, deploy, start and stop the IOX container.

Example:


Router# show run | begin app-hosting
app-hosting appid guestshell
app-vnic gateway0 virtualportgroup 4 guest-interface 0  
guest-ipaddress 9.32.254.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 
app-default-gateway 9.32.254.1 guest-interface
Step 3

Ensure that the python is running on the guestshell container.

Example:


cBR8#guestshell run python -V
Python 2.7.5
Step 4

Ensure that the PNM tftp process is active and running on the guestshell container.

Example:


cBR8#guestshell run systemctl status pnm
 pnm.service - cbr pnm telemetry delivery system
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/pnm.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
    Active: active (running) since Wed 2019-01-09 15:13:40 UTC; 9min ago

The PNM capture tests generate files to report measurements or test results. The results file includes header information that is common to all types of PNM tests and fields, and data that are specific to the type of PNM test. The abstract PnmCaptureFile object defines the attributes and format of the header information common to all PNM test files. File header fields are right-justified within the field and left-padded with zero values if necessary.

The following fields define the header for the PnmCaptureFile object for Upstream Spectrum Triggered Capture tests.

  • FileType - A four-byte hexadecimal identifier specific to the type of PNM test that generated the data file.

    For Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture, the file type is 0x504e4e6a.

  • Major Version - This attribute represents the file header version. This value is incremented by one when the header format is modified by this specification.

    For Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture, major version is 0x1.

  • Minor Version - This attribute is reserved for vendor-specific and vendor-defined version information.

    For Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture, minor version is 0x0.

  • CaptureTime - This attribute represents the epoch time (also known as 'unix time') which is the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Thursday, 1 January 1970.

  • IfIndex  - This attribute represents the ifIndex of the upstream RF port sampled.

  • UniqueCcapId - A 256-byte hexadecimal field representing a unique CCAP identifier (either a loopback address (IPv4 or IPv6) or FQDN). The value is a null-terminated string.

    For Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture, this is the ‘hostname’ of the CMTS.

Proactive Network Management Interface Index

To determine which slot/subslot/port of an ifindex translateS to that of RPHY, see the mapping in the running configuration.

Before you begin

The Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture – The Cisco cBR router supports multiple RPDs per line card with multiple US-ports. However, on RPD, you can configure only one US-port and initiate the captures anytime.

For RPHY, it is not mandatory that the US port is bound to a MAC domain. If it is configured under an RPD, it can be configured for PNM.
The SNMP ifindex for MIB objects can be obtained using the show CLI:

Router# show snmp mib ifmib ifindex | i  badb.ad13.2be0  
RPD(badb.ad13.2be0)-usport0: Ifindex = 435564
where badb.ad13.2be0 is the RPD identifier.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Run the following show command to identify the SNMP ifindex value:
  2. Run the following command to identify the slot/subslot/port an ifindex that would translate to RPHY:

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

Run the following show command to identify the SNMP ifindex value:

 

Router# show snmp mib ifmib ifindex | i 435564 
RPD(badb.ad13.2be0)-usport0: Ifindex = 435564
Step 2

Run the following command to identify the slot/subslot/port an ifindex that would translate to RPHY:

 

Router# show run | b badb.ad13.2be0
identifier badb.ad13.2be 
core-interface Te1/1/0
principal 
rpd-ds 0 downstream-cable 1/0/2 profile 2  
rpd-us 0 upstream-cable 1/0/2 profile 21     

The slot/subslot/port is upstream-cable 1/0/2 profile 21.


Note

Cisco cBR 16.10.1g introduces an RPHY ifIndex change. Ensure that you have gone through the following updates to enable the changes:

  • The RPHY ifIndex feature removes the Cisco private ifIndex for PRHY channels (ifIndex starting from 41,000). The ifIndex are not created manually. All the ifIndex are created automatically when configuring RPD. It is applicable fore ifIndex starting from 41w for US (if-type 205) and DS (if-type 128). The RPHY ifIndex feature does not work for ifIndex values that are greater than 41w.

    Before the ifIndex feature, in 16.10.1f and earlier releases:

    
Router# show snmp mib ifmib ifindex | i RPD
Upstream-Cable3/0/63:0-RPD(badb.ad13.420c)-usport0: Ifindex = 421224
……
RPD(badb.ad13.420c)-usport0: Ifindex = 435560
RPD(badb.ad13.420c)-dsport0: Ifindex = 436584
Downstream-Cable3/0/31:0-RPD(badb.ad13.420c)-dsport0: Ifindex = 437608
Downstream-Cable3/0/31:1-RPD(badb.ad13.420c)-dsport0: Ifindex = 437609

    With the ifIndex feature, in 16.10.1g:

    
Router# show snmp mib ifmib ifindex | s RPD
RPD(badb.ad13.420c)-usport0: Ifindex = 415080
RPD(badb.ad13.420c)-dsport0: Ifindex = 416104

  • The RPHY ifIndex reimplement CoreToRpdMap/RpdToCoreMap tables to keep them aligned with DOCS-RPHY-MIB-2018-07-26 definition.

You do not need to create any new ifIndex for US (if-type 205) and DS (if-type 128) channels when they are configured to RPD. For versions prior to 16.10.1g, it was required that a new ifIndex had to be created (>41k) for US (if-type 205) and DS (if-type 128) channels when they are configured to RPD: 


[CBR]#show snmp mib ifmib ifindex | s RPD
RPD(badb.ad13.420c)-usport0: Ifindex = 415080
RPD(badb.ad13.420c)-dsport0: Ifindex = 416104

With the cBR 16.10.1g RPHY ifIndex feature, you do not need to manually populate any extra item in legacy MIBs.

With the cBR 16.10.1g RPHY ifIndex feature, you need to re-implement docsRphyRpdIfCoreToRpdMapTable / docsRphyRpdIfRpdToCoreMapTable, not mapping to ifIndex (>41k) for US (if-type 205) and DS (if-type 128). See the following: 


Take docsRphyRpdIfCoreToRpdMapTable for example.
/* docsRphyRpdIfCoreToRpdMapRpdRfChanType OID :1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.30.1.2.6.1.5 
   Table Index: docsRphyRpdIfCoreToRpdMapRpdCoreIndex, docsRphyRpdIfCoreToRpdMapRpdUniqueId, docsRphyRpdIfCoreToRpdMapRpdRfPortDirection, docsRphyRpdIfCoreToRpdMapRpdRfPortIndex*/
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.4491.2.1.30.1.2.6.1.5.403561.0.4.159.51.0.145.2.0 = INTEGER: usAtdma(5)
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.4491.2.1.30.1.2.6.1.5.322358.0.4.159.51.0.145.1.0 = INTEGER: dsScQam(1)
IF-MIB::ifType.403561 = INTEGER: docsCableUpstream(129)
IF-MIB::ifType.322358 = INTEGER: other(1)

[CBR]#show snmp mib ifmib ifindex
Cable9/0/0-upstream1: Ifindex = 403561
Downstream-Cable9/0/4-downstream14: Ifindex = 322358
……

  • If RfChanType is usAtdma(5), ifType of docsRphyRpdIfCoreToRpdMapRpdCoreIndex is ifType docsCableUpstream(129)

  • If RfChanType is dsScQam(1), ifType of docsRphyRpdIfCoreToRpdMapRpdCoreIndex is other(1).

So does docsRphyRpdIfRpdToCoreMapTable.

Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture Configuration MIB Objects

The following Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture configuration MIB objects are supported for PNM:

  • CaptureCfg – Contains the test trigger mode and its required configuration.

  • CaptureCtrl – Controls when the test is started and stopped.

  • CaptureStatus – Contains the current status of the test.

  • CaptureCapability – Exposes CCAP Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture capabilities.

The following Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture configuration MIBs are supported. SNMP walk is supported for all the MIB objects.

  • docsPnmCmtsUtscCfgTriggerMode - This attribute indicates which of the upstream triggered spectrum capture function trigger modes is supported. Only FreeRun is supported. The following are the enumerated values for trigger mode for PNM.

    • D_docsPnmCmtsUsSpecAnTrigMode_other 1

    • D_docsPnmCmtsUsSpecAnTrigMode_freeRunning 2

  • docsPnmCmtsUtscCfgStatus - This attribute determines the creation or deletion and change of status of an actual capture configuration entry on any port on the CCAP CLC. All capture entries must first be created by a client on a port before attempting to initiate any tests on the port. Thereby the client ‘owns’ that port and its configuration after creation and no other client can run any tests on the port till the currently active ‘destroys’ the configuration entry and thereby releases ownership of that port.

  • Any tests on a given port owned by a client can be run only when the capture configuration status is ’Active’. When a configuration is created, it is created with certain default values and marked ‘Not Ready’. All capture parameters need to be configured in valid range for the capture entry status to become ‘Active’. If the configuration values for various capture parameters are modified by the user/client and not according to the OSSI specification, the configuration status of the entry will be marked ‘NotReady’.

  • A capture configuration entry cannot be modified to any state unless created first. An entry cannot be recreated without destroying the previous version first. An entry cannot be modified when capture tests are currently running on the port.

Configuring the PNM MAX-HOLD trigger mode

When RPHY is configured for MAX-HOLD PNM mode, RPHY will send PNM data continuously, unless the user issues a stop command or when the duration is reached.

To configure for MAX-HOLD trigger mode on the Supervisor, complete the following steps:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Configure the PNM docsPnmCmtsUsSpecAnTrigMode to ‘other’ mode. Both the SNMP and CLI can set the trigger mode. See the following examples:
  2. Set the PNM bulk destination IP address.
  3. Start and stop the capture test.
  4. Enable GCP message support. Send the TFTP server IP address and Static L2tp session ID through TLV58 message, and the TrigMode ‘other’ is send to RPD through TLV41 message.

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

Configure the PNM docsPnmCmtsUsSpecAnTrigMode to ‘other’ mode. Both the SNMP and CLI can set the trigger mode. See the following examples:

  • For SNMP:
    snmpset -v2c -c private 80.4.2.11 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.27.1.3.10.2.1.3.435572.1 i 1
  • For CLI:
    test cable pnm uts configure trigger-mode other

Note that adding a new TrigMode to MIB might take long and cause many specification changes.
Step 2

Set the PNM bulk destination IP address.

  • For SNMP:

     snmpset -v2c -c private 80.4.2.11 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.27.1.1.1.2.0 x "20 01 0d b8"

  • For CLI:

    test cable pnm bdt config set-ip 32.1.13.184
Step 3

Start and stop the capture test.

  • Starting the SNMP:

    snmpset -v2c -c private 80.4.2.11 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.27.1.3.10.3.1.1.435572.1 i 1

  • Starting the CLI:

    test cable pnm uts start client-id 1 test-id 1 0004.9f00.0591 0

  • Stopping the SNMP:

    snmpset -v2c -c private 80.4.2.11 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.27.1.3.10.3.1.1.435572.1 i 0

  • Stopping the CLI:

    test cable pnm uts stop client-id 1 test-id 1 0004.9f00.0591 0
Step 4

Enable GCP message support. Send the TFTP server IP address and Static L2tp session ID through TLV58 message, and the TrigMode ‘other’ is send to RPD through TLV41 message.

Proactive Network Management MAX-HOLD trigger mode

The cBR enables MAX-HOLD trigger mode support in PNM. The non-CCAP defined MAX-HOLD mode offers significant advantages over the existing FREE-RUN mode that was used earlier. With the MAX-HOLD trigger mode, the RPD sends samples much faster - one sample every 2ms, compared to the earlier rate of one sample per 100ms. The RPD also sends the sample to the server, instead of the Line Card.

The MAX-HOLD trigger mode support functionality includes:

  • cBR support for the configuration of the MAX-HOLD trigger mode

  • cBR support for notify UBUNTU server IP and Static L2tp session IDs to RPD

  • RPD usage of the max hold mode to capture the upstream spectrum

  • RPD sending the captured BIN to UBUNTU server

Debugging the PNM feature on cBR8

cBR supports debugging on Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture – Proactive Network Management by using the debug commands available for the UTSCOM client on supervisor.

Use the CLI to enable the debug commands:

  • debug cable pnm utscom-error

  • debug cable pnm utscom-debug

Use the following show command to check the state of capture on the Line Card. It lists the total number of samples per capture context in the CLC. When the capture tests are running, the packet counts on the corresponding Line Card would keep incrementing.

total packets:	11

The dtrack utility can also be used for debugging the packets punted through CPP from CLC to container. To use the dtrack utility, complete the following steps:

  1. On the supervisor, use the following CLI:
    
test platform hardware qfp active feature docsis dtrack mac 0001.aaaa.cccc
test platform hardware qfp active feature docsis dtrack packe
  2. Start the trigger and use the following CLI to dump the packets (this can be very verbose as there are 10 samples per file per second):
    
show platform hardware qfp active feature docsis dtrack statistics verbose

To obtain the dumping statistics on the IOX container, use the following CLI:

  • dir harddisk:/iox/repo-lxc/lxc-data/<CAF id>/logs/

  • more harddisk:/iox/repo-lxc/lxc-data/<CAF id>/logs/.stats

  • more harddisk:/iox/repo-lxc/lxc-data/<CAF id>/logs/pnm.log

To change configuration on the container console, complete the following steps:

  1. Log onto the CAF console as root.

  2. Run the echo "DEBUG" > /data/logs/.loglevel command. 

     debug level are: ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, DEBUG3, DEBUG4
  3. Run the echo "0" > /data/logs/.resend command.
    
value "0" disable "tftp resend" due to tftp error.
value "12" enable clc log pnm file at local.
Ensure that the PNM TFTP process is active and running on the guestshell container as listed:

  • If the PNM service is not active, attempt recovery by going through the following steps:

    1. Destroy the guestshell instance. Run the guestshell destroy command.

    2. Recreate the gusetshell by running the guestshell enable command.

    3. Check if the guestshell instance is running by using the show app-hosting list command. Verify that the PNM service is active.

  • Verify that the TFTP server IP is reachable from the guestshell container and ping is successful. 
    guestshell run ping -c5 <tftp_server_ip>

Quick Install Guide - Proactive Network Management

You can bring up the Proactive Network Management and get the captures running using a minimal configuration. Complete the following steps to enable PNM with a minimal configuration:

  1. Find the correct PNM Interface Index for the RPD. Run the show snmp mib ifmib ifindex | include <rpd_mac> command.
    Router# show snmp mib ifmib ifindex | i badb.ad13.2be0
RPD(badb.ad13.2be0)-usport0: Ifindex = 435564

    Where badb.ad13.2be0 is the RPD identifier.

  2. Ensure that the guestshell container is up and running on both active and standby SUP. Run the show app-hosting list command.
    
Router# show app-hosting list
App id                    State
-----------------------------------------------------
guestshell                RUNNING

  3. Ensure that the pnm process is running on the guestshell. Run the guestshell run systemctl status pnm command. For more information on the command usage, go through Step 4.

  4. Configure the Bulk Data Ttransfer parameters. Go through the following steps to set the TFTP IP address and TFTP path. Alternatively, also go through Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture Bulk Data Control Objects and MIBs for detailed information.

Troubleshooting Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture – Proactive Network Management Issues

The Upstream Triggered Spectrum Capture – Proactive Network Management issues, their possible causes, and resolution are listed.

  • Capture configuration failure:

    • Ensure that the ifindex that is used is correct and the port is configured correctly under RPD for RPHY.

    • Ensure that the capture configuration entry was created properly and the client/snmp owns the capture port using MIB commands.

    • Ensure that the parameters being configured are supported and within the valid range.

    • Enable debug cable pnm utscom-error to check for any errors.

  • Capture control or initiate test failure:

    • Ensure that the capture configuration is created and configured correctly by the client using MIB commands.

    • Verify that the capture configuration entry status is active using MIB commands.

    • The total number of captures is below the enforced limit.

    • Ensure that no other tests are already running on the port using MIB commands.

    • Ensure that only one port per RPD is running the test.

  • TFTP file transfer failure:

    • Ensure that the BDT TFTP information is configured correctly on the CMTS.

    • Ensure that the TFTP server is reachable and the destination location is writable.

    • Ensure that the container is in running state using show commands.

    • Ensure that the PNM TFTP process is active and running on the guestshell container and the TFTP server IP is reachable from the guestshell container.

    • Ensure that the capture tests are running correctly and with the CLC show, CLI show, files are being generated.

    • Check dtrack to ensure that the punt path is working and packets are being sent to the container.

    • Use the PNM debug and the container statistics/log file to check for any errors.
