Note
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA integrates support for this feature on the Cisco CMTS routers. This feature is also supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.3BC, and this document contains information that references many legacy documents related to Cisco IOS Release12.3BC. In general, any references to Cisco IOS Release 12.3BC also apply to Cisco IOS Release 12.2SC.

This document describes how to configure the Cisco CMTS router for Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) 1.1 operations.

Prerequisites for DOCSIS 1.1 Operations

To support DOCSIS 1.1 operations, the CMTS must be running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4)BC1 or later Cisco IOS Release 12.2 BC, and the cable modem must also support the DOCSIS 1.1 feature set. In addition, before you power on and configure the Cisco CMTS, check the following points:

  • Ensure that your network supports reliable broadband data transmission. Your plant must be swept, balanced, and certified, based on NTSC or appropriate international cable plant recommendations. Ensure that your plant meets all DOCSIS downstream and upstream RF requirements.
  • Ensure that your Cisco CMTS is installed according to the instructions provided in the appropriate Hardware Installation Guide. The chassis must contain at least one port adapter to provide backbone connectivity and one Cisco cable line card to serve as the RF cable TV interface.
  • Ensure that all other required headend or distribution hub routing and network interface equipment is installed, configured, and operational, based on the services to support. This includes all routers, servers (DHCP, TFTP, and ToD), network management systems, and other configuration or billing systems. This includes IP telephony equipment including gatekeepers and gateways; backbone and other equipment if supporting virtual private networks (VPNs); and dialup access servers, telephone circuits and connections and other equipment if supporting telco return.
  • Ensure that DHCP and DOCSIS configuration files have been created and pushed to appropriate servers such that each cable modem, when initialized, can transmit a DHCP request, receive an IP address, obtain TFTP and ToD server addresses, and download DOCSIS configuration files. Optionally, ensure that your servers can also download updated software images to DOCSIS 1.0 and DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems.
  • Ensure that customer premises equipment (CPE)—cable modems or set-top boxes, PCs, telephones, or facsimile machines—meet the requirements for your network and service offerings.
  • Familiarize yourself with your channel plan to ensure assigning of appropriate frequencies. Outline your strategies for setting up bundling or VPN solution sets, if applicable, to your headend or distribution hub. Know your dial plan if using H.323 for VoIP services and setting up VoIP-enabled cable modem configuration files. Obtain passwords, IP addresses, subnet masks, and device names, as appropriate.
  • Ensure that the system clocks on the Cisco CMTS and on the time-of-day (ToD) servers are synchronized. If this does not occur, the clocks on the CMs will not match the clocks on the Cisco CMTS, which could interfere with BPI+ operations. In particular, this could prevent the proper verification of the digital certificates on the cable modem (CM).

After these prerequisites are met, you are ready to configure the Cisco CMTS. This includes, at a minimum, configuring a host name and password for the Cisco CMTS and configuring the Cisco CMTS to support IP over the cable plant and network backbone.


Caution

If you plan to use service-class-based provisioning, the service classes must be configured at the Cisco CMTS before cable modems attempt to make a connection. Use the cable service class command to configure service classes.

Restrictions for DOCSIS 1.1 Operations

DOCSIS 1.1 operations includes the following restrictions:

Baseline Privacy Interface Plus Requirements

BPI+ encryption and authentication must be supported and enabled by both the cable modem and CMTS. In addition, the cable modem must contain a digital certificate that conforms to the DOCSIS 1.1 and BPI+ specifications.

Also, ensure that the system clocks on the CMTS and on the time-of-day (ToD) servers are synchronized. If this does not occur, the clocks on the CMs will not match the clocks on the CMTS, which could interfere with BPI+ operations. In particular, this could prevent the proper verification of the digital certificates on the CM.


Note
Ensure that the system clocks on the CMTS and on the time-of-day (ToD) servers are synchronized. If this does not occur, the clocks on the CMs will not match the clocks on the CMTS, which could interfere with BPI+ operations. In particular, this could prevent the proper verification of the digital certificates on the CM.

BPI+-Encrypted Multicast Not Supported with Bundled Subinterfaces on the Cisco uBR10012 Router

The current Cisco IOS releases do not support using BPI+ encrypted multicast on bundled cable subinterfaces on the Cisco uBR10012 router. Encrypted multicast is supported on bundled cable interfaces or on non-bundled cable subinterfaces, but not when a subinterface is bundled on the Cisco uBR10012 router. This restriction does not apply to Cisco uBR7200 series routers.

BPI+ Not Supported with High Availability Configurations

The current Cisco IOS releases do not support using BPI+ encrypted multicast on a cable interface when the interface has also been configured for N+1 (1:n) High Availability or Remote Processor Redundancy Plus (RPR+) High Availability redundancy.

In addition, BPI+ is not automatically supported after a switchover from the Working cable interface to the Protect cable interface, because the cable interface configurations that are required for BPI+ encryption are not automatically synchronized between the two interfaces. A workaround for this is to manually configure the Protect cable interfaces with the required configurations.

Cable Interface Cards

DOCSIS 1.1 traffic is supported on Cisco uBR-MC1XC and Cisco uBR-MC28C cable interface line cards. The Cisco uBR-MC11 (FPGA) and Cisco uBR-MC16B line cards do not support DOCSIS 1.1.

Cable Privacy Hotlist CLI Not Supported on Cisco uBR10012 Router

The cable privacy hotlist command is not supported on the Cisco uBR10012 router running Cisco IOS releases prior to Cisco IOS release 12.3(23)BC9, Cisco IOS release 12.2(33)SCB5, and Cisco IOS release12.2(33)SCC.

To add a manufacturer’s or CM certificate to the hotlist on the Cisco uBR10012 router, use SNMP commands to set the appropriate attributes in DOCS-BPI-PLUS-MIB . See the Adding a Certificate as a Trusted Certificate Using SNMP Commands.

DOCSIS Root Certificates

The Cisco CMTS supports only one DOCSIS Root CA certificate.

Maximum Burst Size

Previously, the maximum concatenated burst size parameter could be set to zero to specify an unlimited value. In a DOCSIS 1.1 environment, this parameter should be set to a nonzero value, with a maximum value of 1522 bytes for DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems.

If a cable modem attempts to register with a maximum concatenation burst size of zero, the DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS refuses to allow the cable modem to come online. This avoids the possibility that a DOCSIS 1.0 cable modem could interfere with voice traffic on the upstream by sending extremely large data packets. Since DOCSIS 1.0 does not support fragmentation, transmitting such data packets could result in unwanted jitter in the voice traffic.

In addition, DOCSIS 1.1 requires that the maximum transmit burst size be set to either 1522 bytes or the maximum concatenated burst size, whichever is larger. Do not set the maximum concatenation burst size to values larger than 1522 bytes for DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems.


Note
This change requires you to change any DOCSIS configuration files that specify a zero value for the maximum concatenation burst size. This limitation does not exist for DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems unless fragmentation has been disabled.

Performance

DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems lack the ability to explicitly request and provide scheduling parameters for advanced DOCSIS 1.1 scheduling mechanisms, such as unsolicited grants and real-time polling. DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems on the same upstream channel can benefit from the advanced scheduling mechanisms and a DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS can still adequately support voice traffic from DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems with DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems on the same upstream channel.

Provisioning

The format and content of the TFTP configuration file for a DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem are significantly different from the file for a DOCSIS 1.0 cable modem. A dual-mode configuration file editor is used to generate a DOCSIS 1.0 style configuration file for DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems and a DOCSIS 1.1 configuration file for DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems.

Registration

A DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS must handle the existing registration Type/Length/Value parameters from DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems as well as the new type TLVs from DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems. A DOCSIS 1.0 and DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem can successfully register with the same DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS.

A DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem can be configured to make an indirect reference to a service class that has been statically defined at the CMTS instead of explicitly asking for the service class parameters. When this registration request is received by a DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS, it encodes the actual parameters of the service class in the registration response and expects a DOCSIS 1.1-specific registration-acknowledge MAC message from the cable modem.

When a DOCSIS 1.0 cable modem registers with a DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS, the registration request explicitly requests all nondefault service-class parameters in the registration. The absence of an indirect service class reference eliminates the need for the DOCSIS 1.1 TLVs and eliminates the need to establish a local registration acknowledge wait state.

When a DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS receives a registration request from a DOCSIS 1.0 cable modem, it responds with the DOCSIS 1.0 style registration response and does not expect the cable modem to send the registration-acknowledge MAC message.

Information about DOCSIS 1.1

DOCSIS 1.1 is the first major revision of the initial DOCSIS 1.0 standard for cable networks. Although the initial standard provided quality data traffic over the coaxial cable network, the demands of real-time traffic such as voice and video required many changes to the DOCSIS specification.

The DOCSIS 1.1 specification provides the following feature enhancements over DOCSIS 1.0 networks:

Baseline Privacy Interface Plus

DOCSIS 1.0 introduced a Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI) to protect user data privacy across the shared-medium cable network and to prevent unauthorized access to DOCSIS-based data transport services across the cable network. BPI encrypts traffic across the RF interface between the cable modem and CMTS, and also includes authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) features.

BPI supports access control lists (ACLs), tunnels, filtering, protection against spoofing, and commands to configure source IP filtering on RF subnets to prevent subscribers from using source IP addresses that are not valid. DOCSIS 1.1 enhances these security features with BPI Plus (BPI+), which includes the following enhancements:

  • X.509 Digital certificates provide secure user identification and authentication. The Cisco CMTS supports both self-signed manufacturer’s certificates and certificates that are chained to the DOCSIS Root CA certificate.
  • Key encryption uses 168-bit Triple DES (3DES) encryption that is suitable for the most sensitive applications.
  • 1024-bit public key with Pkcs#1 Version 2.0 encryption.
  • Support for encrypted multicast broadcasts, so that only authorized service flows receive a particular multicast broadcast.
  • Secure software download allows a service provider to upgrade a cable modem’s software remotely, without the risk of interception, interference, or alteration.

Concatenation

Concatenation allows a cable modem to make a single time-slice request for multiple upstream packets, sending all of the packets in a single large burst on the upstream. Concatenation can send multiple upstream packets as part of one larger MAC data frame, allowing the cable modem to make only one time-slot request for the entire concatenated MAC frame, reducing the delay in transmitting the packets on the upstream channel. This avoids wasting upstream bandwidth when sending a number of very small packets, such as TCP acknowledgement packets.

Dynamic MAC Messages

Dynamic Service MAC messages allow the cable modem to dynamically create service flows on demand. These messages are DOCSIS link layer equivalents of the higher layer messages that create, tear down, and modify a service flow.

The DOCSIS 1.1 dynamic services state machine supports the following messages:

  • Dynamic Service Add (DSA)—This message is used to create a new service flow.
  • Dynamic Service Change (DSC)—This message is used to change the attributes of an existing service flow.
  • Dynamic Service Deletion (DSD)—This message is used to delete an existing service flow.

Note
These messages are collectively known as DSX messages.

Enhanced Quality of Service

DOCSIS 1.1 provides enhanced quality of service (QoS) capabilities to give priority for real-time traffic such as voice and video:

  • The DOCSIS 1.0 QoS model (a service ID (SID) associated with a QoS profile) has been replaced with a service flow and service class model that allows greater flexibility in assigning QoS parameters to different types of traffic and in responding to changing bandwidth conditions.
  • Support for multiple service flows per cable modem allows a single cable modem to support a combination of data, voice, and video traffic.
  • Greater granularity in QoS per cable modem in either direction, using unidirectional service flows.
  • Upstream service flows can be assigned one of the following QoS scheduling types, depending on the type of traffic and application being used:
    • Best-effort—Data traffic sent on a non-guaranteed best-effort basis. This type of service flow is similar to the method used in DOCSIS 1.0 networks.
    • Real-time polling (rtPS)—Real-time service flows, such as video, that produce unicast, variable size packets at fixed intervals.
    • Non-real-time polling service (nrtPS)—Similar to the rtPS type, in that the cable modem is guaranteed regular opportunities to request data bursts of varying length, except that the CMTS can vary the time between its polling of the cable modem depending on the amount of traffic and congestion on the network.
    • Unsolicited grants (UGS)—Constant bit rate (CBR) or committed information rate (CIR) traffic, such as voice, that is characterized by fixed-size packets at fixed intervals, providing a guaranteed minimum data rate.
    • Unsolicited grants with activity detection (USG-AD)—Combination of UGS and rtPS, to accommodate real-time traffic that might have periods of inactivity (such as voice using silence suppression). The service flow uses UGS fixed grants while active, but switches to rtPS polling during periods of inactivity to avoid wasting unused bandwidth.

Fragmentation

DOCSIS fragmentation allows the upstream MAC scheduler to slice large data requests to fit into the scheduling gaps between UGS (voice slots). This prevents large data packets from affecting real-time traffic, such as voice and video.

Fragmentation reduces the run-time jitter experienced by the UGS slots when large data grants preempt the UGS slots. Disabling fragmentation increases the run-time jitter, but also reduces the fragmentation reassembly overhead for fragmented MAC frames.


Note
DOCSIS fragmentation should not be confused with the fragmentation of IP packets, which is done to fit the packets on network segments with smaller maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. DOCSIS Fragmentation is Layer 2 fragmentation that is primarily concerned with efficiently transmitting lower-priority packets without interfering with high-priority real-time traffic, such as voice calls. IP fragmentation is done at Layer 3 and is primarily intended to accommodate routers that use different maximum packet sizes.

Interoperability

DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems can coexist with DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.0+ cable modems in the same network. The Cisco CMTS provides the levels of service that are appropriate for each cable modem.

Payload Header Suppression

Payload header suppression (PHS) conserves link-layer bandwidth by suppressing repetitive or redundant packet headers on both upstream and downstream service flows. PHS is enabled or disabled per service flow, and each service flow can support a separate set of PHS rules that determine which parts of the header are suppressed. This ensures that PHS is done in the most efficient manner for each service flow and its particular type of application.

Downstream ToS Overwrite

Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCI1, Downstream ToS Overwrite is supported in DOCSIS 1.1. It can be used in IPv4 and IPv6 environment. You can use CLI command cable service class class-index tos-overwrite and-mask or-mask or the cable modem configuration file to configure downstream ToS overwrite. For more information, see Cisco IOS CMTS Cable Command Reference Guide.


Note

This feature is supported only by the Cisco uBR10012 router.

DOCSIS 1.1 Quality of Service

The DOCSIS 1.1 QoS framework is based on the following objects:

  • Service flow—A unidirectional sequence of packets on the DOCSIS link. Separate service flows are used for upstream and downstream traffic, and define the QoS parameters for that traffic.
  • Service class—A collection of settings maintained by the CMTS that provide a specific QoS service tier to a cable modem that has been assigned a service flow associated with that service class.
  • Packet classifier—A set of packet header fields used to classify packets onto a service flow to which the classifier belongs. The CMTS uses the packet classifiers to match the packet to the appropriate service flow.
  • Payload header suppression (PHS) rule—A set of packet header fields that are suppressed by the sending entity before transmitting on the link, and are restored by the receiving entity after receiving a header-suppressed frame transmission. PHS increases the bandwidth efficiency by removing repeated packet headers before transmission.

See the following sections for more information on these components.

Service Flow

In DOCSIS 1.1, the basic unit of QoS is the service flow, which is a unidirectional sequence of packets transported across the RF interface between the cable modem and CMTS. A service flow defines a set of QoS parameters such as latency, jitter, and throughput assurances, and these parameters can be applied independently to the upstream and downstream traffic flows. This is a major difference from DOCSIS 1.0 networks, where the same QoS parameters were applied to both the downstream and upstream flows.


Note
DOCSIS 1.0 networks used service IDs (SIDs) to identify the QoS parameter set for a particular flow. DOCSIS 1.1 networks use the service flow ID (SFID) to identify the service flows that have been assigned to a particular upstream or downstream. DOCSIS 1.1 networks still use the term SID, but it applies exclusively to upstream service flows.

Every cable modem establishes primary service flows for the upstream and downstream directions, with a separate SFID for the upstream and the downstream flows. The primary flows maintain connectivity between the cable modem and CMTS, allowing the CMTS to send MAC management messages at all times to the cable modem.

In addition, a DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem can establish multiple secondary service flows. The secondary service flows either can be permanently created (by configuring them in the DOCSIS configuration file that is downloaded to the cable modem), or the service flows can be created dynamically to meet the needs of the on-demand traffic, such as voice calls. Permanent service flows remain in effect, even if they are not being used, while dynamic service flows are deleted when they are no longer needed.

At any given time, a service flow might be in one of three states (provisioned, admitted, or active). Only active flows are allowed to pass traffic on the DOCSIS network. Every service flow is identified by an SFID, while upstream service flows in the admitted and active state have an extra Layer 2 SID associated with them. The SID is the identifier used by the MAC scheduler when specifying time-slot scheduling for different service flows.

Service Class

Each service flow is associated with a service class, which defines a particular class of service and its QoS characteristics, such as the maximum bandwidth for the service flow and the priority of its traffic. The service class attributes can be inherited from a preconfigured CMTS local service class (class-based flows), or they can be individually specified when a cable modem dynamically requests a service flow and the CMTS creates it.

The DOCSIS 1.1 service class also defines the MAC-layer scheduling type for the service flow. The schedule type defines the type of data burst requests that the cable modem can make, and how often it can make those requests. The following types of schedule types are supported:

  • Best-effort (BE)—A cable modem competes with the other cable modems in making bandwidth requests and must wait for the CMTS to grant those requests before transmitting data. This type of service flow is similar to the method used in DOCSIS 1.0 networks.
  • Real-time polling service (rtPS)—A cable modem is given a periodic time slot in which it can make bandwidth requests without competing with other cable modems. This allows real-time transmissions with data bursts of varying length.
  • Non-real-time polling service (nrtPS)—A cable modem is given regular opportunities to make bandwidth requests for data bursts of varying size. This type of flow is similar to the rtPS type, in that the cable modem is guaranteed regular opportunities to request data bursts of varying length, except that the CMTS can vary the time between its polling of the cable modem, depending on the amount of traffic and congestion on the network.
  • Unsolicited grant service (UGS)—A cable modem can transmit fixed data bursts at a guaranteed minimum data rate and with a guaranteed maximum level of jitter. This type of service flow is suitable for traffic that requires a Committed Information Rate (CIR), such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP) calls.
  • Unsolicited grant service with activity detection (UGS-AD)—Similar to the UGS type, except that the CMTS monitors the traffic to detect when the cable modem is not using the service flow (such as voice calls when nobody is speaking). When the CMTS detects silence on the service flow, the CMTS temporarily switches the service flow to an rtPS type. When the cable modem begins using the flow again, the CMTS switches the flow back to the UGS type. This allows the CMTS to more efficiently support VoIP calls.

Each service flow is assigned a single service class, but the same service class can be assigned to multiple service flows. Also, a cable modem can be assigned multiple service flows, allowing it to have multiple traffic flows that use different service classes.

Packet Classifiers

In DOCSIS 1.0 networks, a cable modem used only one set of QoS parameters for all of its traffic, so the CMTS simply had to route packets to and from the appropriate cable modems. In DOCSIS 1.1 networks, however, cable modems can be using multiple service flows, and each service flow can be given a different level of service. To quickly assign upstream and downstream packets to their proper service flows, the CMTS uses the concept of packet classifiers.

Each packet classifier specifies one or more packet header attributes, such as source MAC address, destination IP address, or protocol type. The classifier also specifies the service flow to be used when a packet matches this particular combination of headers. Separate classifiers are used for downstream and upstream service flows.

When the CMTS receives downstream and upstream packets, it compares each packet’s headers to the contents of each packet classifier. When the CMTS matches the packet to a classifier, the CMTS then assigns the proper SFID to the packet and transmits the packet to or from the cable modem. This ensures that the packet is assigned its proper service flow, and thus its proper QoS parameters.

Figure below illustrates the mapping of packet classifiers.

Figure 1. Classification Within the MAC Layer

Packet Header Suppression Rules

Because many data and real-time applications may use fixed values in their packet header fields, DOCSIS 1.1 supports PHS to suppress the duplicate portions of the packet headers when a group of packets is transmitted during a session. Each service flow can support a separate set of PHS rules that determine which parts of the header are suppressed.

When PHS is being used, the transmitting CMTS suppresses the specified headers in all the packets for that service flow. The receiving CMTS then restores the missing headers before forwarding the packets on to their ultimate destination.

Proper use of PHS can increase the efficiency of packetized transmissions, especially for real-time data that is encapsulated by other protocols, such as VoIP traffic.

Quality of Service Comparison

This section summarizes the differences in QoS between DOCSIS 1.0, DOCSIS 1.0+, and DOCSIS 1.1 networks.


Note
Cisco CMTS routers running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4)CX or later can transparently interoperate with cable modems running DOCSIS 1.0, DOCSIS 1.0+ extensions, or DOCSIS 1.1. If a cable modem indicates at system initialization that it is DOCSIS 1.1-capable, the Cisco CMTS router uses the DOCSIS 1.1 features. If the cable modem is not DOCSIS 1.1-capable, but does support the DOCSIS 1.0+ QoS extensions (for example, a Cisco uBR924 cable access router running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1)T or later release), the Cisco CMTS automatically supports the cable modem's requests for dynamic services. Otherwise, the cable modem is treated as a DOCSIS 1.0 device.
DOCSIS 1.0

DOCSIS1.0 uses a static QoS model that is based on a class of service (CoS) that is preprovisioned in the DOCSIS configuration file that is downloaded to the cable modem. The CoS is a bidirectional QoS profile that applies to both the upstream and downstream directions, and that has limited control, such as peak rate limits in either direction, and relative priority on the upstream.

DOCSIS 1.0 defines the concept of a service identifier (SID), which identifies the cable modems that are allowed to transmit on the network. In DOCSIS 1.0 networks, each cable modem is assigned only one SID for both the upstream and downstream directions, creating a one-to-one correspondence between a cable modem and its SID. All traffic originating from, or destined for, a cable modem is mapped to that particular SID.

Typically, a DOCSIS 1.0 cable modem has one CoS and treats all traffic the same, which means that data traffic on a cable modem can interfere with the quality of a voice call in progress. The CMTS, however, has a limited ability to prioritize downstream traffic based on IP precedent type-of-service (ToS) bits.

For example, voice calls using higher IP precedence bits receive a higher queueing priority (but without a guaranteed bandwidth or rate of service). A DOCSIS 1.0 cable modem could increase voice call quality by permanently reserving bandwidth for voice calls, but then that bandwidth would be wasted whenever a voice call is not in progress.

DOCSIS 1.0+

In response to the limitations of DOCSIS 1.0 networks in handling real-time traffic, such as voice calls, Cisco created the DOCSIS 1.0+ extensions to provide the more important QoS enhancements that were expected in DOCSIS 1.1. In particular, the DOCSIS 1.0+ enhancements provide basic Voice-over-IP (VoIP) service over the DOCSIS link.

Cisco’s DOCSIS 1.0+ extensions include the following DOCSIS 1.1 features:

  • Multiple SIDs per cable modem, creating separate service flows for voice and data traffic. This allows the CMTS and cable modem to give higher priority for voice traffic, preventing the data traffic from affecting the quality of the voice calls.
  • Cable modem-initiated dynamic MAC messages—Dynamic Service Addition (DSA) and Dynamic Service Deletion (DSD). These messages allow dynamic SIDs to be created and deleted on demand, so that the bandwidth required for a voice call can be allocated at the time a call is placed and then freed up for other uses when the call is over.
  • Unsolicited grant service (CBR-scheduling) on the upstream—This helps provide a higher-quality channel for upstream VoIP packets from an Integrated Telephony Cable Modem (ITCM) such as the Cisco uBR925 cable access router.
  • Ability to provide separate downstream rates for any given cable modem, based on the IP-precedence value in the packet. This helps separate voice signaling and data traffic that goes to the same ITCM to address rate shaping purposes.
  • Concatenation allows a cable modem to send several packets in one large burst, instead of having to make a separate grant request for each.

Caution

All DOCSIS 1.0 extensions are available only when using a cable modem (such as the Cisco uBR924 cable access router) and CMTS (such as the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router) that supports these extensions. The cable modem activates the use of the extensions by sending a dynamic MAC message. DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems continue to receive DOCSIS 1.0 treatment from the CMTS.

Interoperability with Different Versions of DOCSIS Networks

DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems have additional features and better performance than earlier DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.0+ models, but all three models can coexist in the same network. DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.0+ cable modems will not hamper the performance of a DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS, nor will they interfere with operation of DOCSIS 1.1 features.

Table below shows the interoperability of a DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS with different versions of cable modems.

Table 1 DOCSIS 1.1 Interoperability

For this configuration...

The result is...

DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS with DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems

DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems receive DOCSIS 1.0 features and capabilities. BPI is supported if available and enabled on the CMTS.

DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS with DOCSIS 1.0+ cable modems

DOCSIS 1.0+ cable modems receive basic DOCSIS 1.0 support. BPI is supported if available and enabled on the CMTS. In addition, DOCSIS 1.0+ cable modems also receive the following DOCSIS 1.1 features:

  • Multiple SIDs per cable modem
  • Dynamic service MAC messaging initiated by the cable modem
  • Unsolicited grant service (UGS, CBR-scheduling) on the upstream
  • Separate downstream rates for any given cable modem, based on the IP-precedence value
  • Concatenation

DOCSIS 1.1 CMTS with DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems

DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems receive all the DOCSIS 1.1 features listed in this document. BPI+ is supported if available and enabled on the CMTS.

Enhanced Rate Bandwidth Allocation (ERBA) Support for DOCSIS 1.0 Cable Modems

Cisco IOS release 12.3(13a)BC introduces Enhanced Rate Bandwidth Allocation (ERBA) support for DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems on the Cisco uBR7246VXR router. Cisco IOS release 12.3(21)BC extends this support to the Cisco uBR10012 router with Performance Routing Engine 2 modules. To define ERBA on the downstream for DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems, use the cable qos promax-ds-burst command in global configuration mode.

The ERBA feature in Cisco IOS release 12.3(21)BC is characterized by the following enhancements:

  • Enables support for the DOCSIS1.1 Downstream Maximum Transmit Burst parameter on the Cisco CMTS by using the cable ds-max-burst configuration command. This command is not required on the Cisco uBR7225VXR, Cisco uBR7246VXR and the Cisco uBR7100 Series routers, as this parameter is supported by default.
  • Allows DOCSIS1.0 modems to support the DOCSIS1.1 Downstream Maximum Transmit Burst parameter by mapping DOCSIS1.0 modems to overriding DOCSIS 1.1 QoS profile parameters on the Cisco CMTS.

ERBA allows DOCSIS1.0 modems to burst their temporary transmission rate up to the full line rate for short durations of time. This capability provides higher bandwidth for instantaneous bandwidth requests, such as those in Internet downloads, without having to make changes to existing service levels in the QoS Profile.

This feature allows you to set the DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems burst transmissions, with mapping to overriding DOCSIS 1.1 QoS profile parameters on the Cisco CMTS. DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems require DOCSIS 1.0 parameters when registering to a matching QoS profile. This feature enables maximum downstream line rates, and the ERBA setting applies to all cable modems that register to the corresponding QoS profile.


Note
QoS definitions must previously exist on the Cisco CMTS headend to support this feature.

ERBA for DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems is supported with these new or enhanced commands or keywords:

  • cable qos pro max-ds-burst burst-size

DOCSIS 3.0 Downstream Peak Traffic Rate TLV Support for ERBA

The downstream peak traffic rate TLV (DOCSIS 3.0 TLV 25.27) support for the ERBA feature was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB1 for the Cisco uBR10012 router. This feature support was extended to Cisco uBR7246VXR and Cisco uBR7225VXR routers in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCD.

The DOCSIS WFQ Scheduler allows each service flow to have one dedicated queue. When ERBA is enabled for the service flow, the peak rate is implemented as the queue shape rate within the scheduler, while the maximum sustained rate is set as the token bucket refill rate. When ERBA is turned off, the burst size and the peak rate value are not used.

The maximum traffic burst parameter is used to control a service flow burst duration, to burst up to the channel line rate or a configured peak rate, when it is within its maximum burst size allowance. On the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router, the cable ds-max-burst command is used to control this behavior explicitly.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB1, the peak-rate keyword was introduced to specify the peak rate an ERBA-enabled service flow can use. The peak rate value is a global value and is applied to all service flows created after the configuration of the cable ds-max-burst command.

If the DOCSIS 3.0 TLV 25.27 is specified for a service flow, the peak rate value is set as the TLV value. However, if ERBA is not turned on for a service flow, the peak rate value is ignored.

The peak rate value can also be configured using the cable service class command, which forms part of the service class template. During modem registration or Dynamic Service Addition (DSA) operation, the service class name TLV 25.4 is sent to create the static or dynamic downstream service flow that matches the service class template. These downstream service flows are created with a specific peak rate . If the peak rate is not specified, then the value specified by the cable ds-max-burst command is used.

If a service flow has both service class and TLV 25.27 defined peak rate , then the peak rate value specified in the TLV is used.

Some of the DOCSIS 1.x an DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems, which are not fully DOCSIS 1.x or DOCSIS 2.0 compliant, may fail to come online when the downstream peak rate TLV 25.27 is received from the CMTS during registration. To overcome this failure, you can configure the cable service attribute withhold-TLVs command to restrict sending of the peak traffic rate TLVs to DOCSIS1.x and DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems. For more information on how to suppress peak rate TLVs, see Suppressing Upstream and Downstream Peak Rate TLVs for pre DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modems.


Note
The ERBA feature is not applicable for high priority service flows and multicast service flows.

Table below summarizes the ERBA support for the Cisco uBR10012 router.

In Cisco uBR7246VXR and Cisco uBR7225VXR routers, the dual token bucket-based shaper is used to support ERBA on the Cisco uBR-MC88V line card (the ERBA feature is always enabled on the Cisco uBR-MC88V line card). The dual token bucket shaper has two independent token buckets for each service flow. The maximum rate of one bucket is configured to MSR and the maximum tokens are set to maximum traffic burst. The other bucket is configured with the refilling rate of the peak rate and the maximum tokens are set to the default level of 4 milliseconds. Packets are shaped if any of the two buckets are exhausted.

Table below summarizes the ERBA dual token bucket configuration for the Cisco uBR7246VXR and Cisco uBR7225VXR routers.

Suppressing Upstream and Downstream Peak Rate TLVs for pre DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modems

The DOCSIS 3.0 upstream (US) peak rate TLV 24.27 and downstream (DS) peak rate TLV 25.27 are enabled on the Cisco CMTS through the cable service class command or the CM configuration file. The DOCSIS 1.x and DOCSIS 2.0 CMs do not support these TLVs. Ideally, if a DOCSIS 1.x or DOCSIS 2.0 CM receives peak rate TLVs during registration, it should ignore these TLVs and proceed with the registration. However there are a few old non-compliant pre DOCSIS 3.0 CMs, which may fail to come online when peak-rate TLVs are received in the registration response from the Cisco CMTS. To overcome this, the Cisco CMTS enables suppression of the DOCSIS 3.0 peak rate TLVs for the pre-DOCSIS3.0 CMs.

To suppress the DOCSIS 3.0 US and DS peak rate TLVs, use the cable service attribute withhold-TLVs command with the peak-rate keyword in global configuration mode. When configured, this command restricts the Cisco CMTS from sending US and DS peak rate TLVs to the DOCSIS 1.x and DOCSIS 2.0 CMs. The decision to send the TLVs is based on the DOCSIS version of the CM received during registration. If the registration request is from a pre DOCSIS 3.0 CM, the peak rate TLVs are not sent in the registration response. However this command does not restrict sending of DOCSIS 3.0 peak-rate TLVs to DOCSIS 3.0 CMs.

For more information on the cable service attribute withhold-TLVs command, see Cisco IOS CMTS Cable Command Reference Guide .

Downstream Classification Enhancement with MAC Addresses

Downstream classifiers, specified in the cable modem configuration file, are used to map packets to service flows based on DOCSIS specifications. New combinations of downstream classifiers with a destination MAC address are supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCH and later. This enhancement enables service providers to better manage high priority service flows associated with a downstream classifier. For example, a single User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port can be shared by high priority and low priority traffic.

Downstream classification is automatically enabled on the Cisco CMTS router. Table below lists the downstream classifier combinations that are supported on the router.

Benefits

DOCSIS 1.1 includes a rich set of features that provide advanced and flexible QoS capabilities for various types of traffic (voice, data, and video) over the cable network. It also provides enhanced security and authentication features.

Baseline Privacy Interface Plus Enhancement

The Plus (+) version of the Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI+) in DOCSIS 1.1 provides a set of extended services within the MAC sublayer that increase performance and system security. Digital certificates provide secure authentication for each cable modem, to prevent identity theft on the basis of MAC and IP addresses. Advanced encryption provides a secure channel between the cable modem and CMTS, and secure software download allows a service provider to upgrade the software on cable modems, without the threat of interception, interference, or alteration of the software code.

Dynamic Service Flows

The dynamic creation, modification, and deletion of service flows allows for on-demand reservation on Layer 2 bandwidth resources. The CMTS can now provide special QoS to the cable modem dynamically for the duration of a voice call or video session, as opposed to the static provisioning and reservation of resources at the time of cable modem registration. This provides a more efficient use of the available bandwidth.

Concatenation

The cable modem concatenates multiple upstream packets into one larger MAC data frame, allowing the cable modem to make only one time-slot request for the entire concatenated MAC frame, as opposed to requesting a time slot for each packet. This reduces the delay in transferring the packet burst upstream.

Enhanced QoS

Extensive scheduling parameters allow the CMTS and the cable modem to communicate QoS requirements and achieve more sophisticated QoS on a per service-flow level.

Different new time-slot scheduling disciplines help in providing guaranteed delay and jitter bound on shared upstream. Activity detection helps to conserve link bandwidth by not issuing time slots for an inactive service flow. The conserved bandwidth can then be reused for other best-effort data slots.

Packet classification helps the CMTS and cable modem to isolate different types of traffic into different DOCSIS service flows. Each flow could be receiving a different QoS service from CMTS.

Fragmentation

Fragmentation splits large data packets so that they fit into the smaller time slots inbetween UGS slots. This reduces the jitter experienced by voice packets when large data packets are transmitted on the shared upstream channel and preempt the UGS slots used for voice.

Multiple Subflows per SID

This feature allows the cable modem to have multiple calls on a single hardware queue. This approach scales much better than requiring a separate SID hardware queue on the cable modem for each voice call.

Payload Header Suppression

Payload Header Suppression (PHS) allows the CMTS and cable modem to suppress repetitive or redundant portions in packet headers before transmitting on the DOCSIS link. This conserves link bandwidth, especially with types of traffic such as voice, where the header size tends to be as large as the size of the actual packet.

Service Classes

The use of the service class provides the following benefits for a DOCSIS 1.1 network:

  • It allows operators to move the burden of configuring service flows from the provisioning server to the CMTS. Operators provision the modems with the service class name; the implementation of the name is configured at the CMTS. This allows operators to modify the implementation of a given service to local circumstances without changing modem provisioning. For example, some scheduling parameters might need to be set differently for two different CMTSs to provide the same service. As another example, service profiles could be changed by time of day.
  • It allows CMTS vendors to provide class-based-queuing if they choose, where service flows compete within their class and classes compete with each other for bandwidth.
  • It allows higher-layer protocols to create a service flow by its service class name. For example, telephony signaling might direct the cable modem to instantiate any available provisioned service flow of class G.711.

Note
The service class is optional. The flow scheduling specification may always be provided in full; a service flow may belong to no service class whatsoever. CMTS implementations may treat such unclassed flows differently from classed flows with equivalent parameters.

How to Configure the Cisco CMTS for DOCSIS 1.1 Operations

See the following sections for the configuration tasks for DOCSIS 1.1 operations. Each task in the list is identified as either required or optional.


Note
This section describes only the configuration tasks that are specific for DOCSIS 1.1 operations. For complete configuration information, see the software configuration documents listed in the Additional References.

Configuring Baseline Privacy Interface

BPI+ encryption is by default enabled for 56-bit DES encryption on all cable interfaces. If BPI+ encryption has been previously disabled, or if you want to reconfigure BPI+ encryption on a cable interface on the CMTS, use the following procedure.


Note
If you have disabled BPI+ encryption on a cable interface, and a cable modem attempts to register on that interface using BPI+ encryption, the CMTS will reject its registration request, displaying a %UBR7200-4-SERVICE_PERMANENTLY_UNAVAILABLE error message. The show cable modem command will also show that this cable modem has been rejected with a MAC status of reject(c).
Before You Begin

BPI+ encryption is supported on all Cisco CMTS images that include “k1”, “k8”, or “k9” in its file name or BPI in the feature set description. All BPI images support 40-bit and 56-bit DES encryption.

By default, BPI+ encryption is enabled for 56-bit DES encryption. Also, when a cable modem is running DOCSIS 1.1 software, BPI+ encryption is enabled by default, unless the service provider has disabled it by setting the Privacy Enable field (TLV 29) in the DOCSIS configuration file to 0. Therefore, both the CMTS and cable modem are set to use BPI+ encryption when using the default configurations.

     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1enable


    Example: 
    Router> enable
Router#
     

    Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.

     
    Step 2configure terminal


    Example: 
    Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)#
     

    Enters global configuration mode.

     
    Step 3interface cableslot /port


    Example: 
    Router(config)# interface cable 6/0 
Router(config-if)#
     

    Enters interface configuration mode for the cable interface line card at this particular slot.

     
    Step 4cable privacy


    Example: 
    Router(config-if)# cable privacy 
Router(config-if)#
     

    (Optional) Enables BPI+ 56-bit DES encryption on the cable interface (default).

     
    Step 5cable privacy 40-bit-des


    Example: 
    Router(config-if)# cable privacy 48-bit-des 
Router(config-if)#
     

    (Optional) Enables BPI+ 40-bit DES encryption on the cable interface. Cisco does not recommend this option for production systems because 40-bit encryption is not as secure as the 56-bit DES or 168-bit 3DES encryption algorithms.

     
    Step 6cable privacyaccept-self-signed-certificate


    Example: 
    Router(config-if)# cable privacy accept-self-signed-certificate 
Router(config-if)#
     

    (Optional) Allows cable modems to register using self-signed manufacturer certificates, as opposed to the default of allowing only manufacturer’s certificates that are chained to the DOCSIS root certificate.

    Caution   

    Use the above command sparingly, as it bypasses DOCSIS BPI+ certificates. Otherwise, self-signed certificates provide workaround registration for cable modems that are not compliant with DOCSIS BPI+ certificates. This functionality is strictly intended for troubleshooting of a short duration or in the context of additional security measures.

    Note    By default, the CMTS does not accept self-signed certificates. In the default configuration, if a cable modem attempts to register with self-signed certificates, the CMTS will refuse to allow the cable modem to register.
     
    Step 7cable privacy authenticate-modem


    Example: 
    Router(config-if)# cable privacy authenticate-modem 
Router(config-if)#
     

    (Optional) Enables BPI+ encryption on the cable interface and uses the Cisco IOS Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) service together with BPI to authenticate the CMs.

     
    Step 8cable privacy authorize-multicast


    Example: 
    Router(config-if)# cable privacy authorize-multicast 
Router(config-if)#
     

    (Optional) Enables BPI+ encryption on the cable interface and uses AAA protocols to authorize all multicast stream (IGMP) join requests.

    Note    If you use this command to authorize multicast streams, you must also use the cable privacy authenticate-modem command to enable AAA services on the cable interface.

     
    Step 9cable privacy mandatory


    Example: 
    Router(config-if)# cable privacy mandatory 
Router(config-if)#
     

    (Optional) Requires baseline privacy be active for all CMs with BPI/BPI+ enabled in the DOCSIS configuration files, else the CMs are forced to go offline.

    If a CM does not have BPI enabled in its DOCSIS configuration file, it will be allowed to come online without BPI.

     
    Step 10cable privacy oaep-support


    Example: 
    Router(config-if)# cable privacy oaep-support
Router(config-if)#
     

    (Optional) Enables BPI+ encryption on the cable interface and enables Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP). This option is enabled by default. Disabling this option could have a performance impact.

     
    Step 11cable privacy kek {life-time seconds }

    Example: 
    Router(config-if)# cable privacy kek life-time 302400 
Router(config-if)#
     

    (Optional) Configures the life-time values for the key encryption keys (KEKs) for BPI+ operations on all cable interfaces.

     
    Step 12cable privacy tek {life-time seconds}

    Example: 
    Router(config-if)# cable privacy tek life-time 86400 
Router(config-if)#
     

    (Optional) Configures the life-time values for the traffic encryption keys (TEKs) for BPI+ operations on all cable interfaces.

     
    Step 13exit


    Example: 
    Router(config-if)# exit 
Router(config)#
     

    Exits interface configuration mode.

    Note    Repeat steps Step 3 through Step 13 for each cable interface.
     
    Step 14exit


    Example: 
    Router(config)# exit 
Router#
     

    Exits global configuration mode.

     
    What to Do Next

    You can also configure the following additional timers for BPI+ operations in the DOCSIS configuration file for each cable modem. As a general rule, you do not need to specify these timers in the DOCSIS configuration file unless you have a specific reason for changing them from their default values.

    Table 5 Individual Cable Modem BPI+ Timer Values

    Timer

    Description

    Authorize Wait Timeout

    The amount of time a cable modem will wait for a response from a CMTS when negotiating a KEK for the first time.

    Reauthorize Wait Timeout

    The amount of time a cable modem will wait for a response from a CMTS when negotiating a new KEK because the Authorization Key (KEK) lifetime is about to expire.

    Authorize Reject Wait Timeout

    The amount of time a cable modem must wait before attempting to negotiate a new KEK if the CMTS rejects its first attempt to negotiate a KEK.

    Operational Wait Timeout

    The amount of time a cable modem will wait for a response from a CMTS when negotiating a TEK for the first time.

    Rekey Wait Timeout

    The amount of time a cable modem will wait for a response from a CMTS when negotiating a new TEK because the TEK lifetime is about to expire.

    Downloading the DOCSIS Root Certificate to the CMTS

    DOCSIS 1.1 allows cable modems to identify themselves using a manufacturer’s chained X.509 digital certificate that is chained to the DOCSIS root certificate. The DOCSIS root certificate is already installed on the bootflash of the CMTS router. However, if you want to install another root certificate, for example, the Euro-DOCSIS certificate, download the certificate and save it on the bootflash as "euro-root-cert".


    Tip

    For more information about the DOCSIS root certificate provided by Verisign, see the information at the following URL: http:/​/​www.verisign.com/​products-services/​index.html


    Note
    This document previously claimed that the Cisco CMTS supports only one root certificate. This information has changed effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC. In this IOS release and later releases in the 12.3 BC train, you may load the DOCSIS root certificate and a EuroDOCSIS or PacketCable root certificate. Cisco recommends that the EuroDOCSIS PacketCable root certificates be copied into bootflash. In prior Cisco IOS Releases, with the prior limitation, EuroDOCSIS or PacketCable devices could still come online, however, if they used self-signed manufacturer’s digital certificates.

    To download the DOCSIS root certificate to the Cisco CMTS, which is required if any cable modems on the network are using chained certificates, use the following procedure:

      Step 1   Download the DOCSIS root certificate from the DOCSIS certificate signer, Verisign. At the time of this document’s printing, the DOCSIS root certificate is available for download at the following URL: http:/​/​www.verisign.com/​products-services/​index.html
      Step 2   Verisign distributes the DOCSIS root certificate in a compressed ZIP archive file. Extract the DOCSIS root certificate from the archive and copy the certificate to a TFTP server that the CMTS can access.
      Tip   

      To avoid possible confusion with other certificates, keep the file’s original filename of “CableLabs_DOCSIS.509” when saving it to the TFTP server.

      Step 3   Log in to the Cisco CMTS using either a serial port connection or a Telnet connection. Enter the enable command and password to enter Privileged EXEC mode:

      Example: 
      Router> enable
 
Password: <password>
Router#
      Step 4   Use the dir bootflash command to verify that the bootflash has sufficient space for the DOCSIS root certificate (approximately 1,000 bytes of disk space):

      Example: 
      Router# dir bootflash:
 
Directory of bootflash:/ 
    1  -rw-     3229188   Dec 30 2002 15:53:23  ubr7200-boot-mz.122-11.BC2.bin 
3407872 bytes total (250824 bytes free)
Router#
      Tip   

      If you delete files from the bootflash to make room for the DOCSIS root certificate, remember to use the squeeze command to reclaim the free space from the deleted files.

      Step 5   Use the copy tftp bootflash command to copy the DOCSIS root certificate to the router’s bootflash memory. (The file must be named “root-cert” on the bootflash for the CMTS to recognize it as the root certificate.)

      Example: 
      Router# copy tftp bootflash:
 
Address or name of remote host []? tftp-server-ip-address
 
Source filename []? CableLabs_DOCSIS.509
 
Destination filename [CableLabs_DOCSIS.509]? root-cert
 
Loading CableLabs_DOCSIS.509 from tftp-server-ip-address (via FastEthernet0/0): !
[OK - 996/1024 bytes]
996 bytes copied in 4.104 secs (249 bytes/sec)
Router#
      Tip   

      If you are using Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)BC1 or later software release, you can also copy the root certificate to a PCMCIA Flash Disk (disk0 or disk1). However, because Flash Disks are not secure and easily removed from the router, we recommend that you keep the root certificate in the bootflash for both operational and security reasons.

      Step 6   Verify that the DOCSIS root certificate has been successfully copied to the bootflash memory:

      Example: 
      Router# dir bootflash:
 
Directory of bootflash:/
    1  -rw-     3229188   Dec 30 2002 15:53:23  ubr7200-boot-mz.122-11.BC2.bin 
    2  -rw-         996   Mar 06 2002 16:03:46  root-cert
3408876 bytes total (248696 zxbytes free)
Router#
      Step 7   (Optional) After the first cable modem has registered using BPI+, you can use the show crypto ca trustpoints command to display the Root certificate that the CMTS has learned:
      Note    The show crypto ca trustpoints command does not display the root certificate until after at least one cable modem has registered with the CMTS using BPI+ encryption. Alternatively, you can use the unsupported command test cable generate in privileged EXEC mode to force the CMTS to register the root certificate.


      Example: 
      Router# show crypto ca trustpoints 
Root certificate
  Status: Available
  Certificate Serial Number: D54BB68FE934324F6B8FD0E41A65D867

     OU = Cable Modems
     O = Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications
     C = US

     OU = DOCSIS
     O = BPI
     C = US

    start date: 07:00:00 UTC Mar 27 2001
    end   date: 06:59:59 UTC Jan 1 2007
      What to Do Next


      Tip

      To display all certificates (Root, Manufacturers, CM) that the CMTS has learned, use the show crypto ca certificates command.

      Adding a Manufacturer’s Certificate as a Trusted Certificate

      To DOCSIS specifications allow operators to control which manufacturer’s and CM certificates are allowed on each CMTS by marking them as either trusted or untrusted. You can add a certificate to the list of trusted certificates on the Cisco CMTS using either CLI commands or SNMP commands, as described in the following sections:


      Note
      Unless you cannot use SNMP to configure the cable modem, or have a particular application that requires the use of CLI commands to add certificates, you should also use the SNMP method to add certificates to a cable modem.

      Adding a Certificate as a Trusted Certificate Using the Command Line Interface

      To add a manufacturer’s certificate to the list of trusted certificates on the CMTS, use the following procedure:

         Command or ActionPurpose
        Step 1enable


        Example: 
        Router> enable
Router#
         

        Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.

         
        Step 2configure terminal


        Example: 
        Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)#
         

        Enters global configuration mode.

         
        Step 3cable privacy add-certificate manufacturer serial-number


        Example: 
        Router(config)# cable privacy add-certificate manufacturer 000102
Router(config)#
         

        (Optional) Specifies the serial number of the manufacturer CA certificate to be added as a trusted certificate.

         
        Step 4exit


        Example: 
        Router(config)# exit
Router#
         

        Exits global configuration mode.

         

        Adding a Certificate as a Trusted Certificate Using SNMP Commands

        You can also use an SNMP manager to create and add certificates to the CMTS list of trusted certificates by manipulating the tables and attributes in the DOCS-BPI-PLUS-MIB . To add a manufacturer’s certificate, add an entry to the docsBpi2CmtsCACertTable table. Specify the following attributes for each entry:

        • docsBpi2CmtsCACertStatus—Set to 4 to create the row entry.
        • docsBpi2CmtsCACert—The hexadecimal data, as an X509Certificate value, for the actual X.509 certificate.
        • docsBpi2CmtsCACertTrust—An Integer value from 1 to 4 specifying the certificate’s trust status: 1=trusted, 2=untrusted, 3= chained, 4=root. Specify 1 for certificates that should be trusted and 3 for chained certificates that should be verified with the root certificate.

        Similarly, to add a CM certificate to the list of trusted certificates, add an entry to the docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertTable table. Specify the following attributes for each entry:

        • docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertStatus—Set to 4 to create the row entry.
        • docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCert—The hexadecimal data, as an X509Certificate value, for the actual X.509 certificate.
        • docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertTrust—An Integer value from 1 to 2 specifying the certificate’s trust status: 1=trusted, 2=untrusted. Specify 1 for CM certificates that should be trusted.

        Tip

        Always set the CertStatus attributes before loading the actual certificate data, because otherwise the CMTS will assume the certificate is chained and will immediately attempt to verify it with the manufacturers and root certificates.

        For example, to use the Unix command-line SNMP utility to add a manufacturer’s certificate to the list of trusted certificates on the CMTS at IP address 192.168.100.134, enter the following command (be sure to substitute a valid index pointer for the table entry for the <index> value). 

        % setany -v2c 192.168.100.134 private docsBpi2CmtsCACertStatus.
<index>
 -i 4
 docsBpi2CmtsCACert.
<index>
 -o
 '<hex_data>' docsBpi2CmtsCACertTrust.
<index>
 -i 1

        To do the same thing for a CM certificate, use the following command: 

        % setany -v2c 192.168.100.134 private docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertStatus.
<index>
 -i 4 docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCert.
<index>
 -o
 '<hex_data>' docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertTrust.

        Most operating systems cannot accept input lines that are as long as needed to input the hexadecimal decimal string that specifies a certificate. For this reason, you should use a graphical SNMP manager to set these attributes. For a number of certificates, you can also use a script file, if more convenient.


        Note
        If you are adding self-signed certificates, you must also use the cable privacy accept-self-signed-certificate command before the CMTS will accept the certificates.

        Adding a Manufacturer’s or CM Certificate to the Hotlist

        The DOCSIS specifications allow operators to add a digital manufacturer’s or CM certificate to a hotlist (also known as the certificate revocation list, or CRL) on the CMTS, to indicate that this particular certificate should no longer be accepted. This might be done when a user reports that their cable modem has been stolen, or when the service provider decides not to support a particular manufacturer’s brand of cable modems.

        You can add a certificate to the hotlist on the Cisco CMTS using either CLI commands or SNMP commands, as described in the following sections:


        Note
        Unless you cannot use SNMP to configure the cable modem, or have a particular application that requires the use of CLI commands to add certificates, you should also use the SNMP method to add certificates to a cable modem.

        Adding a Certificate to the Hotlist Using the Command Line Interface

        To add a manufacturer’s or CM certificate to the certificate hotlist on a Cisco uBR7100 series or Cisco uBR7200 series router, use the following procedure.

        This procedure is not supported on the Cisco uBR10012 router running Cisco IOS releases prior to Cisco IOS release 12.3(23)BC9, Cisco IOS release 12.2(33)SCB5, and Cisco IOS Release12.2(33)SCC and later releases.

        Use the following section, Adding a Certificate to the Hotlist Using SNMP Commands, to add certificates to the hotlist on the Cisco uBR10012 router.

           Command or ActionPurpose
          Step 1enable


          Example: 
          Router> enable
Router#
           

          Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.

           
          Step 2configure terminal


          Example: 
          Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)#
           

          Enters global configuration mode.

           
          Step 3cable privacy hotlist manufacturercertificate-serial-number


          Example: 
          Router(config)# cable privacy hotlist manufacturer 010A0BC304DFEE1CA98371
Router(config)#
           

          Sets the trust state of the specified CA certificate to “Untrusted.” Ensure that this certificate exists on the CMTS.

          The certificate-serial-number is the serial number of the CA certificate.

          This is not a persistent command.

           
          Step 4exit


          Example: 
          Router(config)# exit 
Router#
           

          Exits global configuration mode.

           
          What to Do Next

          Cable modems that use a MAC address or a certificate of the manufacturer that matches the one in the hotlist will not be allowed to register. For example, the following command will put the certificate of the manufacturer with the indicated serial number in the hotlist, preventing any cable modem that uses that certificate from registering: 

          Router# config terminal
 
Router(config)# cable privacy hotlist cm 00 00 0C 0a 0b 0c
 
Oct 31 13:06:29.112:  Successfully added CM hotlist 0000.0C0A.0B0C 
Router#

          The following command will put the manufacturer’s certificate with the indicated serial number in the hotlist, preventing any cable modem that uses that manufacturer’s certificate from registering: 

          Router(config)# cable privacy hotlist manufacturer 00 90 83 00 00 00 00 01
 
Oct 31 13:06:34.478:  Successfully added MFG hotlist 00 90 83 00 00 00 00 01 
Router(config)# exit
 
Router#

          To remove a cable modem or certificate from the hotlist, add the no prefix to the command. For example: 

          Router# config terminal
 
Router(config)# no cable privacy hotlist cm 00 00 0C 0a 0b 0c
 
Router(config)# no cable privacy hotlist manufacturer 00 90 83 00 00 00 00 01
 
Router(config)# exit
 
Router#

          Adding a Certificate to the Hotlist Using SNMP Commands

          You can also use an SNMP manager to create and add certificates to the hotlist by manipulating the tables and attributes in the DOCS-BPI-PLUS-MIB . To add a manufacturer’s certificate, add an entry to the docsBpi2CmtsCACertTable table. Specify the following attributes for each entry:

          • docsBpi2CmtsCACertStatus—Set to 4 to create the row entry.
          • docsBpi2CmtsCACert—The hexadecimal data, as an X509Certificate value, for the actual X.509 certificate.
          • docsBpi2CmtsCACertTrust—An Integer value from 1 to 4 specifying the certificate’s trust status: 1=trusted, 2=untrusted, 3= chained, 4=root. When adding a certificate to the hotlist, set this attribute to 2 for untrusted.

          Similarly, to add a CM certificate to the hotlist, add an entry to the docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertTable table. Specify the following attributes for each entry:

          • docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertStatus—Set to 4 to create the row entry.
          • docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCert—The hexadecimal data, as an X509Certificate value, for the actual X.509 certificate.
          • docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertTrust—An Integer value from 1 to 2 specifying the certificate’s trust status: 1=trusted, 2=untrusted. When adding a certificate to the hotlist, set this attribute to 2 for untrusted.

          Tip

          Always set the CertStatus attributes before loading the actual certificate data, because otherwise the CMTS will assume the certificate is chained and will immediately attempt to verify it with the manufacturers and root certificates.


          Note
          This procedure is identical to the one given for adding a certificate as a trusted certificate in the Adding a Certificate as a Trusted Certificate Using SNMP Commands, except that the docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertTrust attribute is set to 2 instead of 1.

          For example, to use the Unix command-line SNMP utility to add a manufacturer’s certificate to the hotlist on the CMTS at IP address 192.168.100.113, enter the following command (be sure to substitute a valid index pointer for the table entry for the <index> value). 

          % setany -v2c 192.168.100.113 private docsBpi2CmtsCACertStatus.
<index>
 -i 4
 docsBpi2CmtsCACert.
<index>
 -o
 '<hex_data>' docsBpi2CmtsCACertTrust.
<index>
 -i 2

          To do the same thing for a CM certificate, use the following command: 

          % setany -v2c 192.168.100.113 private docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertStatus.
<index>
 -i 4
 docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCert.
<index>
 -o
 '<hex_data>' docsBpi2CmtsProvisionedCmCertTrust.
<index>
 -i 2

          Tip

          Most operating systems cannot accept input lines that are as long as needed to input the hexadecimal decimal string that specifies a certificate. For this reason, you should use a graphical SNMP manager to set these attributes. For a number of certificates, you can also use a script file, if more convenient.

          Enabling Concatenation

          To enable concatenation for one or more upstreams on a cable interface (which is the default configuration), use the following procedure:

             Command or ActionPurpose
            Step 1enable


            Example: 
            Router> enable

            Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.

             
            Step 2configure terminal


            Example: 
            Router# configure terminal 
Router(config)#
             

            Enters global configuration mode.

             
            Step 3interface cableslot / port


            Example: 
            Router(config)# interface cable 6/0 
Router(config-if)#
             

            Enters interface configuration mode for the cable interface line card at this particular slot.

             
            Step 4cable upstream n concatenation


            Example: 
            Router(config-if)# cable upstream 0 concatenation
Router(config-if)# cable upstream 1 concatenation 
Router(config-if)#
             

            Enables concatenation for the specified upstream on the cable interface.

            Note    Repeat this command for each upstream on the interface.
             
            Step 5exit


            Example: 
            Router(config-if)# exit 
Router(config)#
             

            Exits interface configuration mode.

             
            Step 6exit


            Example: 
            Router(config)# exit 
Router#
             

            Exits global configuration mode.

             

            Enabling DOCSIS Fragmentation

            To enable DOCSIS fragmentation for one or more upstreams on a cable interface (which is the default configuration), use the following procedure:

            SUMMARY STEPS

              1.    enable

              2.    configure terminal

              Router(config-if)# cable upstream 0 unfrag-slot-jitter limit 2000 cac-enforce
Router(config-if)#
               

              (Optional) Specifies the amount of jitter that can be tolerated on the upstream due to unfragmentable slots. The limit option specifies the allowable jitter limit in microseconds (0 to 4,294,967,295. The cac-enforce option configures the upstream so that it rejects service flows requesting jitter less than the fragmentable slot jitter.

              Note    By default, jitter is set to a limit of 0 microseconds, and the cac-enforce option is enabled.
               
              Step 6exit


              Example: 
              Router(config-if)# exit

              Enabling DOCSIS 1.1 Downstream Maximum Transmit Burst on the Cisco uBR10012 Router

              Perform the following steps to configure ERBA on the Cisco uBR10012 router with PRE2 or PRE4 modules and Cisco IOS Release 12.3(21)BC or Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB or later releases. This procedure and the associated commands are subject to the guidelines and restrictions cited in this document.

              Restriction:

              The cable ds-max-burst and related commands are supported strictly on the Cisco uBR10012 router with PRE2 or PRE4 modules and Cisco IOS Release 12.3(21)BC or Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCB or later releases.

                 Command or ActionPurpose
                Step 1enable


                Example: 
                Router> enable
                 

                Enables privileged EXEC mode.

                • Enter your password if prompted.
                 
                Step 2configure terminal


                Example: 
                Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#
                 

                Enters global configuration mode.

                 
                Step 3no] cable ds-max-burst [burst-threshold threshold ] [peak-rate peak-rate


                Example: 
                Router(config)# no cable ds-max-burst burst-threshold 2048 peak-rate 1000
                 

                Enables the support for DOCSIS 1.1 downstream max burst. To remove this configuration, use the no form of this command.

                • burst-thresholdthreshold —Optional keyword and value defines the burst threshold in Kbytes, with a valid range from 64 Kbyte to 2 GB. By default, this setting is 1MB. This value is used to compare with the per-service flow maximum traffic burst value as defined in DOCSIS 2.0.
                • peak-ratepeak-rate —Peak rate in kbps. The default value of peak-rate is zero, which represents the line rate. The peak-rate value is a global value and is applied to all the service flows created after the configuration of cable ds-max-burst command.

                 
                Step 4Ctrl^Z


                Example:

                Router(config)# show cr10k-rp cable 6/1/0 sid service-flow ds
                 

                Displays service flows on the Cisco uBR10012 router with PRE2 or PRE4, and identifies which service flows have maximum burst enabled.

                • slot —5 to 8
                • subslot —0 or 1
                • port —0 to 4 (depending on the cable interface)
                 

                When this feature is enabled, new service flows with burst size larger than the burst threshold are supported. However, the existing service flows are not affected.

                When this feature is disabled, no new service flows are configured with the Downstream Maximum Transmit Burst parameter—the cable ds-max-burst command settings. However, the existing service flows are not affected.

                The following example illustrates the cable ds max-burst command on the Cisco uBR10012 router in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(21)BC: 

                Router(config)# cable ds-max-burst burst-threshold 2048

                The following example illustrates configuration of the ERBA maximum burst for the specified service flow:

                Monitoring DOCSIS Operations

                The following sections describe the commands that provide information about the DOCSIS network and its cable modems, the RF network and cable interfaces on the CMTS, and BPI+ operations.

                Monitoring the DOCSIS Network

                The show cable modem command is the primary command to display the current state of cable modems and the DOCSIS network. This command has many options that provide information on different aspects of DOCSIS operations.


                Tip

                For a complete description of the show cable modem command and its options, see the “Cisco Cable Modem Termination System Commands” chapter in the Cisco Broadband Cable Command Reference Guide (see Additional References).

                You can also display a particular cable modem by specifying its MAC address or IP address with the show cable modem command. If you specify the MAC address or IP address for a CPE device, the command will display the information for the cable modem that is associated with that device.


                Note
                If the CPE IP address is no longer associated with a cable modem, the show cable modem command might not display information about the cable modem. To display the IP address of the CPE device for the cable modem, use the clear cable host ip-address command to clear the IP address of the modem from the router database, and then enter the ping docsis mac-address command, which resolves the MAC address by sending the DOCSIS ping to the CM.

                Description

                Registration and Provisioning Status Conditions

                init(r1)

                The CM sent initial ranging.

                init(r2)

                The CM is ranging. The CMTS received initial ranging from the Cm and has sent RF power, timing offset, and frequency adjustments to the CM.

                init(rc)

                Ranging has completed.

                init(d)

                The DHCP request was received. This also indicates that the first IP broadcast packet has been received from the CM.

                init(i)

                The DHCP reply was received and the IP address has been assigned, but the CM has not yet replied with an IP packet.

                init(o)

                The CM has begun to download the option file (DOCSIS configuration file) using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), as specified in the DHCP response. If the CM remains in this state, it indicates that the download has failed.

                init(t)

                Time-of-day (TOD) exchange has started.

                resetting

                The CM is being reset and will shortly restart the registration process.

                Non-error Status Conditions

                offline

                The CM is considered offline (disconnected or powered down).

                online

                The CM has registered and is enabled to pass data on the network.

                online(d)

                The CM registered, but network access for the CM has been disabled through the DOCSIS configuration file.

                online(pk)

                The CM registered, BPI is enabled and KEK is assigned.

                online(pt)

                The CM registered, BPI is enabled and TEK is assigned. BPI encryption is now being performed.

                expire(pk)

                The Cm registered, BPI is enabled, KEK was assigned but has since expired.

                expire(pt)

                The Cm registered, BPI is enabled, TEK was assigned but has since expired.

                Error Status Conditions

                reject(m)

                The CM attempted to register but registration was refused due to a bad Message Integrity Check (MIC) value. This also could indicate that the shared secret in the DOCSIS configuration file does not match the value configured on the CMTS with the cable shared-secret command.

                In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(11b)EC1 and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)BC2 or later releases, this could also indicate that the cable tftp-enforce command has been used to require that a CM attempt a TFTP download of the DOCSIS configuration file before registering, but the CM did not do so.

                reject(c)

                The CM attempted to register, but registration was refused due to a a number of possible errors:

                • The CM attempted to register with a minimum guaranteed upstream bandwidth that would exceed the limits imposed by the cable upstream admission-control command.
                • The CM has been disabled because of a security violation.
                • A bad class of service (COS) value in the DOCSIS configuration file.
                • The CM attempted to create a new COS configuration but the CMTS is configured to not permit such changes.

                reject(pk)

                KEK key assignment is rejected, BPI encryption has not been established.

                reject(pt)

                TEK key assignment is rejected, BPI encryption has not been established.

                reject(ts)

                The CM attempted to register, but registration failed because the TFTP server timestamp in the CM registration request did not match the timestamp maintained by the CMTS. This might indicate that the CM attempted to register by replaying an old DOCSIS configuration file used during a prior registration attempt.

                reject(ip)

                The CM attempted to register, but registration failed because the IP address in the CM request did not match the IP address that the TFTP server recorded when it sent the DOCSIS configuration file to the CM. IP spoofing could be occurring.

                reject(na)

                The CM attempted to register, but registration failed because the CM did not send a Registration-Acknowledgement (REG-ACK) message in reply to the Registration-Response (REG-RSP) message sent by the CMTS. A Registration-NonAcknowledgement (REG-NACK) is assumed.

                The connectivity and maintenance options also provide information that can be useful in troubleshooting problems with a particular cable modem.

                The following example shows sample output for the maintenance option for a particular CM:

                Monitoring the RF Network and Cable Interfaces

                You can use the show interface cable command to display information about the operation of the RF network and the cable interfaces on the CMTS.


                Tip

                For a complete description of the show cable interface command and its options, see the “Cisco Cable Modem Termination System Commands” chapter in the Cisco Broadband Cable Command Reference Guide (see http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​c/​en/​us/​td/​docs/​cable/​cbr/​configuration/​guide/​b_cmts_quality_of_services/​docsis_​1_​1.html#ref_​1239231).

                Displaying Information About Cloned Cable Modems

                To display the list of cable modems detected as cloned, use the privacy hotlist option with the show interface cable command.

                The following example shows how to display the cloned cable modems on a particular cable interface: 

                Router# show interface cable 5/1/0 privacy hotlist
                           Last                      
MAC Address                Ranged On                 Type
00a0.73b0.4c43             Oct 27 21:57:39           Permanent
001a.c3ff.d2d4             Oct 27 21:57:40           Permanent
0018.6852.7746             Never                     Permanent
000e.9bb3.b946             Never                     Permanent

                Denying RF Access For Cable Modems

                To deny radio frequency (RF) access for cable modems during ranging, use the cable privacy hotlist cm mac-address command.

                The following example shows how to block cloned cable modems using their own MAC address: 

                Router(config)# cable privacy hotlist cm 00C0.0102.0304 
Router(config)#

                When an operator identifies a modem’s MAC address that should not be registered on a specific CMTS, the operator can add this MAC address to the CMTS using the above command. This command ensures that the modem will not be allowed to come online on any interface on that CMTS.

                Displaying Information About the Mac Scheduler

                To display information about the DOCSIS MAC layer scheduler that is operating on each cable interface, use the mac-scheduler option with the show cable interface command. You can display information for all of the upstreams on an interface, or you can display information for a single upstream on an interface.

                The following example shows how to display information for the second upstream (U1) on a particular cable interface: 

                Router# show interface cable 3/0 mac-scheduler 1

                Displaying Information About QoS Parameter Sets

                To display information about the DOCSIS 1.1 QoS parameter sets that have been defined on a cable interface, use the qos paramset option with the show cable interface command. 

                Router# show interface cable 3/0 qos paramset

                Monitoring BPI+ Operations

                See the following sections to monitor the state of BPI operations on the CMTS and its connected cable modems:

                Displaying the Current BPI+ State of Cable Modems

                To display the current BPI+ state of cable modems, use the show cable modem command. If used without any options, this command displays the status for cable modems on all interfaces. You can also specify a particular cable interface on the CMTS, or the IP address or MAC address for a specific cable modem: 

                Router# show cable modem
 [ip-address
 | interface
 | mac-address

                The following display shows a typical display for cable modems on all interfaces:

                Table 7 Possible show cable modem BPI+ States

                State

                Description

                online

                A cable modem has come online and, if configured to use BPI+, is negotiating its privacy parameters for the session. If the modem remains in this state for more than a couple of minutes, it is online but not using BPI+. Check that the cable modem is running DOCSIS-certified software and is using a DOCSIS configuration file that enables BPI+.

                online(pk)

                The cable modem is online and has negotiated a Key Encryption Key(KEK) with the CMTS. If BPI+ negotiation is successful, this state will be shortly followed by online(pt).

                online(pt)

                The cable modem is online and has negotiated a Traffic Encryption Key (TEK) with the CMTS. The BPI+ session has been established, and the cable modem is encrypting all user traffic with the CMTS using the specified privacy parameters.

                reject(pk)

                The cable modem failed to negotiate a KEK with the CMTS, typically because the cable modem failed authentication. Check that the cable modem is properly configured for BPI+ and is using valid digital certificates. If the CMTS requires BPI+ for registration, the cable modem will go offline and have to reregister. Check that the cable modem is properly registered in the CMTS provisioning system.

                Note    If a cable modem fails BPI+ authentication, a message similar to the following appears in the CMTS log: 
                %UBR7200-5-UNAUTHSIDTIMEOUT: CMTS deleted  BPI unauthorized Cable Modem 00c0.abcd.ef01

                reject(pt)

                The cable modem failed to successfully negotiate a TEK with the CMTS. If the CMTS requires BPI+ for registration, the cable modem will have to reregister.

                Displaying the BPI+ Timer Values on the CMTS

                To display the values for the KEK and TEK lifetime timers on a particular cable interface, use the show interface cable x/y privacy [kek | tek] command. For example: 

                Router# show interface cable 4/0 privacy kek
 
Configured KEK lifetime value = 604800
Router# show interface cable 4/0 privacy tek
 
Configured TEK lifetime value = 60480

                Displaying the Certificate List on the CMTS

                Use the show crypt ca certificates command to display the list of known certificates on the CMTS. For example: 

                Router# show crypto ca certificates

                DOCSIS 1.1 for the Cisco CMTS

                12.1(4)CX

                DOCSIS 1.1 support was introduced for Cisco uBR7200 series routers.

                DOCSIS 1.1 for the Cisco CMTS

                12.1(7)CX1

                Several DOCSIS 1.1 MIBs were updated, reflecting changes in the DOCSIS 1.1 specification. The cable submgmt default command was also added, to set the default value of the attributes in DOCS-SUBMGT-MIB.

                DOCSIS 1.1 for the Cisco CMTS

                12.2(4)BC1

                DOCSIS 1.1 support was introduced for the Cisco uBR7100 series, Cisco uBR7200 series, and Cisco uBR10012 routers on the Release 12.2 BC train.

                N+1 redundancy

                12.2(4)BC1b

                N+1 redundancy during DOCSIS 1.1 operations was supported on the Cisco uBR10012 router.

                N+1 redundancy

                12.2(11)BC1

                N+1 redundancy during DOCSIS 1.1 operations was supported on the Cisco uBR7200 series router.

                UGS service flows

                12.2(11)BC2

                The packetcable authorize vanilla-docsis-mta command was supported to allow DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems to use UGS service flows when PacketCable operations have been enabled.

                Enhanced Rate Bandwidth Allocation (ERBA)

                12.3(13a)BC

                Added support for Enhanced Rate Bandwidth Allocation (ERBA) for DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems, to include the following new configuration command and show command enhancement:

                • cable qos pro max-ds-burst
                • show cable qos profile

                Refer to the Enhanced Rate Bandwidth Allocation (ERBA) Support for DOCSIS 1.0 Cable Modems.

                Enhanced version of ERBA

                12.3(21)BC

                Added support for an enhanced version of ERBA on the Cisco uBR10012 router. Refer to the Enhanced Rate Bandwidth Allocation (ERBA) Support for DOCSIS 1.0 Cable Modems.

                DOCSIS 3.0 Downstream Peak Traffic Rate TLV Support for ERBA

                12.2(33)SCB1

                The ERBA feature was enhanced with the peak-rate keyword of the cable ds-max-burst command for the Cisco uBR10012 router.

                DOCSIS 3.0 Downstream Peak Traffic Rate TLV Support for ERBA

                12.2(33)SCD

                Added support for Cisco uBR7246VXR and Cisco uBR7225VXR routers.

                Suppressing Downstream and Upstream Peak Rate TLVs for pre DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modems

                12.2(33)SCB10

                Support was added to restrict sending of the DOCSIS 3.0 TLVs to DOCSIS 1.X and DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems.

                A new command cable service attribute withhold-TLVs was introduced.

                Downstream Classification Enhancement with MAC Addresses

                12.2(33)SCH

                New combinations of downstream classifiers with a destination MAC address are supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCH.
