This chapter provides an introduction to monitoring and troubleshooting the wideband components of the Cisco Cable Wideband Solution, Release 1.0. The chapter includes the following topics:
•Monitoring Wideband Components
•Troubleshooting Wideband Components
The Cisco IOS command-line interface includes commands that can be issued on the CMTS for the following:
•Monitoring Wideband Cable Modems
For detailed information on the syntax, usage, and additional examples for each command, see the documents shown in Table 5-1.
Note Many of the commands used to configure the Cisco uBR10012 router and the Cisco Wideband SIP and SPA are not currently part of the command set that can be searched with the Cisco Command Lookup Tool (available on Cisco.com). Use the documents listed in Table 5-1 to find information on these commands.
The following command is useful for monitoring a Cisco Wideband SIP: show diag.
In addition, the show controllers jacket command displays Wideband SIP register values. The show controllers jacket is intended for use by Cisco Systems technical support personnel.
To verify that the Wideband SIP is powered on, use the show diag command. If show diag displays any output, the Wideband SIP is powered on. The show diag command provides a variety of information on the Wideband SIP. For example, the hardware type of the Wideband SIP is 2jacket-1 card.

With Cisco IOS commands, the Wideband SPA and its Gigabit Ethernet ports are not considered standard user-configurable interfaces and do not appear in the output of the show interfaces command. The Wideband SPA is a controller and the show controller modular-cable command displays information about the SPA, its Gigabit Ethernet ports, installed SFPs, wideband channels, and so on.
The following example provides sample show controller modular-cable output for the Wideband SPA located in slot 1, subslot 0, bay 0 of a Cisco uBR10012 router. In the output, the Gigabit Ethernet Port Selected field indicates that Port 0 is the active Gigabit Ethernet port on the Wideband SPA.

The following commands are useful for monitoring wideband channels:
•show interface wideband-cable
To display information about a wideband-cable interface (wideband channel), use the show interface wideband-cable command. Wideband channels are similar to cable interfaces and information about them is also displayed with the show ip interfaces and show interfaces commands.
The following example displays show interface wideband-cable command output for wideband channel 0 on the Wideband SPA in slot/subslot/bay 1/0/0.
Router# show interface wideband-cable 1/0/0:0

When a wideband-channel cable interface is specified in show interface wideband-cable or another Cisco IOS command that displays hardware status and line protocol status for a cable interface, the following applies:
•The hardware status for a wideband-channel cable interface will be up if the Wideband SPA is installed in the Wideband SIP and both are powered on.
•The line protocol for a wideband-channel cable interface will be up if the wideband channel is associated with at least one RF channel and the following parameters have been set for the RF channel:
–RF channel frequency
–MAC address of the edge QAM device or next-hop router
–IP address of the edge QAM device
–UDP port number for the QAM that is used for the RF channel
If the line protocol for a wideband-channel cable interface is up, all wideband-channel configuration information needed to successfully send data is present. However, additional configuration information may be needed to complete the Wideband SPA configuration process. For information on Wideband SPA configuration procedures, see the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration Guide.
To display additional information about a wideband channel, use the show hw-module bay command with the wideband-channel keyword. You also have to specify one of the following keywords indicating the particular type of information you want to show:
•association—Displays wideband-to-narrowband (traditional DOCSIS) channel association information. The association of a wideband channel to a traditional DOCSIS downstream channel is made when a primary downstream channel for the fiber node is configured with the downstream cable command.
•config—Displays wideband channel configuration information.
•counters—Displays wideband channel statistics.
•mapping—Displays the mapping of RF channels to wideband channels.
To display wideband-to-narrowband channel association information, use show hw-module bay with the association and wideband-channel keywords. If you specify a wideband channel number after wideband-channel, output is for that channel only. For example:
Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 association wideband-channel 0
WB BG Bundle NB NB chan Reserved Avail
channel ID num channel ID CIR CIR
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:0 24 123 Cable5/0/1 120 0 0
In the preceding example, the following information is displayed for each wideband channel:
•WB channel—Wideband-cable interface (wideband channel).
•BG ID—Bonding Group ID for the wideband channel.
•Bundle num—The number of the virtual bundle interface in which the wideband channel is a member.
•NB channel—The slot/subslot/port of the primary downstream channel (narrowband channel or traditional DOCSIS channel) for the wideband channel.
•NB channel ID—Channel ID for the primary downstream channel.
•Reserved CIR—The reserved committed information rate (CIR). Because CIR is not currently supported for wideband traffic, reserved CIR is always 0.
•Avail CIR—The part of the CIR that is currently available. Because CIR is not currently supported for wideband traffic, available CIR is always 0.
To display configuration information for a wideband channel, use show hw-module bay with the config and wideband-channel keywords. If you do not specify a wideband channel number after wideband-channel, output is for all wideband channels. For example:
Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 config wideband-channel
WB BG Bundle WB Host Primary
channel ID num Slot/Subslot BG
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:0 24 123 5/0 Yes

Wideband-Cable1/0/0:10 34 123 5/0 Yes
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:11 35 123 5/0 Yes
In the preceding example, the following information is displayed for each wideband channel.
•BG ID—Bonding Group ID.
•Bundle num—The number of the virtual bundle interface in which the wideband channel is a member.
•WB Host Slot/Subslot—The cable interface line card that has been configured for Wideband protocol operations. For information, see the modular-host subslot command in the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router SIP and SPA Software Confirguration Guide.
•Primary BG—Yes indicates that the wideband channel is a primary bonding group (primary wideband channel).
To display wideband-channel statistics, use show hw-module bay with the counters and wideband-channel keywords.
Router#show hw-module bay 1/0/0 counters wideband-channel 0
SPA WB channel Tx packets Tx octets
1/0/0 0 29069 4032392
To display RF-channels that have been configured for a wideband channel, use show hw-module bay with the mapping and wideband-channel keywords. The BW % column is the percent of the RF channel's bandwidth that is assigned to the wideband channel with the cable rf-channel command.
Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 mapping wideband-channel

The following command is useful for monitoring RF channels on a Wideband SPA: show hw-module bay.
To display information about RF channels on a Wideband SPA, use the show hw-module bay command with the rf-channel keyword. You also have to specify one of the following keywords indicating the particular type of information you want to show:
•config—Displays RF channel configuration information.
•counters—Displays RF channel statistics.
•mapping—Displays the mapping of RF channels to wideband channels.
To display configuration information for an RF channel, use show hw-module bay with the config and rf-channel keywords. If you specify an RF channel number after rf-channel, output is for that channel only. For example, the following output is for RF channel 0 on the Wideband SPA located in slot/subslot/bay 1/0/0.
Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 config rf-channel 0

The following commands are useful for monitoring wideband cable modem:
Many other show cable commands display information on wideband cable modems if a wideband cable modem or a cable interface used for a wideband cable modem is specified in the command's arguments. Some examples of these commands are:
•show cable modem vendor
•show cable modem cnr
•show cable modem errors
•show cable modulation profile
•show interface cable privacy
To display information for registered and unregistered wideband cable modems, use the show cable modem wideband command. For example:
Router# show cable modem wideband
MAC Address IP Address I/F MAC Prim WB DSID MD-DS-SG
State Sid Ch ID
0014.bfbe.3cc0 1.11.0.1 C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 3 24 24 N/A

0016.92f0.90d8 1.11.0.3 C6/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 5 36 274 1
With the show cable modem wideband command, you can specify a particular wideband cable modem by IP address or MAC address. You can also specify a set of wideband cable modems that are on a particular cable interface.
Table 5-2 describes the fields that are shown in the show cable modem wideband display.
If you specify show cable modem wideband registered-traditional-docsis, the command displays wideband-capable modems that are registered as DOCSIS 1.X or DOCSIS 2.0 modems.
To display summary information for cable modems including modems registered as wideband cable modems, use the show cable modem summary command.

This section provides an introduction to troubleshooting the wideband components of the Cisco Cable Wideband Solution:
•Troubleshooting Wideband SIPs and Wideband SPAs
•Troubleshooting Wideband Channels
•Troubleshooting Wideband Cable Modems
The following Cisco cable documents provide useful information on troubleshooting the non-wideband components of the uBR10012 router:
•Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Troubleshooting Guide
•"Troubleshooting the System" chapter in the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Software Configuration Guide
•Online Offline Diagnostics—Field Diagnostics on Cisco uBR10012 Router User's Guide
For information on troubleshooting non-Cisco components (such as edge QAM devices) used in the Cisco Cable Wideband Solution, see the vendor documentation for the device.
This section describes troubleshooting techniques for a Wideband SIP or Wideband SPA. It includes the following sections:
•Performing Basic Troubleshooting on a Wideband SIP and Wideband SPA
•Verifying That a Wideband SPA's Active Gigabit Ethernet Port Is Up
•Verifying That a Wideband SPA Is Correctly Configured for SPA-to-EQAM Communications
•Verifying That a Wideband SPA Is Able to Communicate with the Edge QAM Device
To perform basic troubleshooting on a Wideband SIP and Wideband SPA, complete the following steps:
The Gigabit Ethernet ports on a Wideband SPA are not considered standard user-configurable interfaces and do not appear in the output of the show interfaces command. The Wideband SPA is a controller with one active and one redundant Gigabit Ethernet port. The show controller modular-cable command displays information about the SPA, its Gigabit Ethernet active port, installed Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules, and so on.
The following example provides sample show controller modular-cable output for the Wideband SPA located in slot 1, subslot 0, bay 0 of a Cisco uBR10012 router.
Router# show controller modular-cable 1/0/0 brief
SPA 0 is present
status LED: [green]
Host 12V is enabled and is okay.
Power has been enabled to the SPA.
SPA reports power enabled and okay.
SPA reports it is okay and is NOT held in reset.
Gigabit Ethernet Port Selected : Port 1
Receive Interface : In Reset
Receive Interface : Disabled
Transmit Interface : Out of Reset
Transmit Interface : Enabled
Primary Receive Clock : Disabled
Backup Receive Clock : Disabled
SFP [Port 0] : 1000BASE-SX Present
Tx Enabled , LOS Detected , TxFault Not Detected
Link Status [Port 0] : DOWN
SFP [Port 1] : 1000BASE-T Present
Tx Enabled , LOS Not Detected , TxFault Not Detected
Link Status [Port 1] : UP
...
In the preceding output, notice the following:
•The Gigabit Ethernet Port Selected field indicates the active Gigabit Ethernet port.
•For the active Gigabit Ethernet port, the SFP [Port 1] field indicates the type of SFP that is present.
•For the active Gigabit Ethernet port, the Link Status [Port 1] field indicates whether the link is up.
The Cisco Wideband SPA transmits data in a unidirectional manner only and does not receive data from devices connected to its active Gigabit Ethernet port.
If the link for the active Gigabit Ethernet port is not up, check the following:
•Check that the SFP module is correctly installed and matches the SFP module in the connected device.
•Check that the cables to the Wideband SPA ports are correctly connected to a powered-on device.
•Check that the cables to the Wideband SPA ports are not bent or damaged.
•Check that a hardware failure has not occurred. For information, see the "Performing Basic Troubleshooting on a Wideband SIP and Wideband SPA" section.
Use the show controller modular-cable command with the sfp keyword to get more detailed information on the SFP modules installed in a Wideband SPA's Gigabit Ethernet ports.
If a Wideband SPA is unable to communicate with an edge QAM device, check that the RF channels configured with the rf-channel command match the values required by the edge QAM device. You can use the show hw-module bay command to see the values that have been configured for an RF channel. For example:
Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 config rf-channel 0 verbose
SPA : Wideband-Cable 1/0/0
RF channel number : 0
Frequency : 699000000 Hz
Modulation : 64qam

MAC address of EQAM : 000c.3033.2cbf
UDP port number : 49152
EQAM headroom : 0
Check that the following values are correct and match what is configured on the edge QAM device:
•Frequency—The center frequency used for this RF channel.
•IP address of next hop—The IP address of the edge QAM device for this RF channel.
•MAC address—The MAC address of the next-hop or edge QAM device for this RF channel.
•UDP port—The UDP port number for the QAM output port for this RF channel.
If any of the above values do not match what is present on the edge QAM device, the Wideband SPA will not be able to successfully communicate with that device.
On the uBR10012 router, RF channels are configured with the rf-channel command. The values on the edge QAM are device-specific and are typically configured when setting up the edge QAM device.
To verify that a Wideband SPA that has been correctly configured for wideband operations is communicating with the edge QAM device, use the show hw-module bay command with the counters and rf-channel keywords. In the following example, only RF channels 0 to 3 on the Wideband SPA are transmitting MPEG packets.
Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 counters rf-channel
SPA RF channel MPEG packets tx
1/0/0 0 3703146

This section describes troubleshooting techniques for wideband channels. It includes the following sections:
•Verifying That a Wideband Channel is Up and Is Transmitting Packets
•Verifying That a Wideband Channel is Configured Correctly
For information on configuring wideband channels, see the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration Guide.
To verify that a wideband channel is up and transmitting packets, use the show interface wideband-cable command and examine the first line of output and the packets output field:
Router# show interface wideband-cable 1/0/0:1
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:1 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is Wideband CMTS Cable interface, address is 0012.001a.8897 (bia 0012.001a.8897)

24224 packets output, 1222002 bytes, 0 underruns
0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets
0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
For information on what criteria are used to determine whether a wideband channel and its associated line protocol are up, see the "show interface wideband-cable" section.
To verify whether a wideband channel is configured correctly, use the show hw-module bay command with the wideband-channel keyword and the association, config, or mapping keywords. The following examples show the output for association keyword:
Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 association wideband-channel 0
WB BG Bundle NB NB chan Reserved Avail
channel ID num channel ID CIR CIR
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:0 24 123 Cable5/0/1 120 0 0
In the preceding output, the Bundle num field indicates the virtual bundle interface to which the wideband channel belongs. For a description of each field in the preceding output, see the "show hw-module bay" section.
The wideband channel and the primary downstream channel (NB channel) must be members of the same virtual bundle interface. The CMTS running configuration file shows the virtual bundle (cable bundle) for the primary downstream channel (Cable5/0/1):
interface Cable5/0/1
no ip address
load-interval 30
no cable packet-cache
cable bundle 123
cable downstream channel-id 120
...
The downstream modular-cable rf-channel command specifies the RF channels that are available for wideband channels on a fiber node. If a wideband channel attempts to use an RF channel that has not been made available for use on the fiber node, a misconfiguration error occurs. In this case, the show hw-module bay command displays the following error message:
Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 association wideband-channel
WB BG Bundle NB NB chan Reserved Avail
channel ID num channel ID CIR CIR
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:0 RF channel mismatch with Fiber Node 1
The following example shows the show hw-module bay output for the config keyword:
Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 config wideband-channel
WB BG Bundle WB Host Primary
channel ID num Slot/Subslot BG
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:0 24 123 5/0 Yes

Wideband-Cable1/0/0:10 34 0 5/0 Yes
Wideband-Cable1/0/0:11 35 0 5/0 Yes
In the preceding output, each wideband channel that will be used should be configured as a member of a virtual bundle interface. Channels 8 through 11 are not members of a virtual bundle interface.
The following example shows the show hw-module bay output for the mapping keyword:
Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 mapping wideband-channel

A channel-bonded wideband channel is associated with at least two RF channels depending on the wideband channel's configuration. The cable rf-channel command associates an RF channel with a wideband channel. The bandwidth percent (BW %) of each RF channel used for the wideband channel is 100 percent by default but is configurable with the cable rf-channel command.
This section describes troubleshooting techniques for wideband cable modems. It includes the following sections:
•Pinging a Wideband Cable Modem
•Verifying That a Wideband-Capable Cable Modem is Registered as a Wideband Modem
•Verifying Other Information for Wideband Cable Modems
To determine whether a wideband cable modem or any DOCSIS cable CPE device is reachable from the CMTS at the DOCSIS MAC layer, use the ping docsis command with either a MAC address or IP address. For example:
Router# ping docsis 1.11.0.5
Queueing 5 MAC-layer station maintenance intervals, timeout is 25 msec:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5)
The ping docsis command uses 1/64—the bandwidth of IP ping—and works with cable modems that have not yet acquired an IP address. This allows cable operators to ping cable modems that are unable to complete registration, that have internal bugs, or that are unresponsive due to a crash.
The ping docsis command with the verbose keyword includes a real-time view and plot of requested power adjustments, frequency, timing offset adjustments, and a measure of optimal headend reception power.
Router# ping docsis 1.11.0.5 verbose
Queueing 5 MAC-layer station maintenance intervals, timeout is 25 msec:

Reply from 0014.bfbe.3e3c: 50 ms, tadj=-1, padj=0, fadj=39
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5)
For more information on the ping docsis command, see the Cisco Broadband Cable Command Reference Guide.
To verify that a wideband-capable cable modem is registered as a wideband modem, use the show cable modem command. In the following example, the MAC address of the wideband cable modem is specified.
Router# show cable modem 0014.bfbe.3e70
MAC Address IP Address I/F MAC Prim RxPwr Timing Num BPI
State Sid (dBmv) Offset CPE Enb
0014.bfbe.3e70 1.11.0.3 C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 1 0.00 1231 0 Y
If a wideband-capable cable modem is registered as a wideband modem, the MAC State field will have one of the w-online values (wideband-online), such as w-online(pt) in the preceding example. For descriptions of the complete set of MAC state values, see the show cable modem command in the Cisco Broadband Cable Command Reference Guide.
A wideband-capable modem may also register as a DOCSIS 2.0 modem (for example, if a wideband channel is not available). In this case, the MAC State field displayed by show cable modem will not have one of the w-online values.
To determine the set of wideband-capable cable modems that have registered as wideband modems on the CMTS, use the show cable modem wideband command.
Router# show cable modem wideband
MAC Address IP Address I/F MAC Prim BG DSID MD-DS-SG
State Sid ID
0014.bfbe.3e70 1.11.0.3 C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 1 24 24 N/A
0014.bfbe.3e3c 1.11.0.4 C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 2 24 24 N/A
0016.92fb.5742 1.11.0.6 C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 3 24 256 1
0016.92fb.580e 1.11.0.7 C5/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 4 24 264 1
0014.bfbe.3eaa 1.11.0.2 C6/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 7 36 36 N/A
0016.92fb.57f8 1.11.0.5 C6/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 8 36 298 1
0016.92fb.57f4 1.11.0.8 C6/0/1/U0 w-online(pt) 9 36 306 1
To determine the set of wideband-capable cable modems that have registered as DOCSIS 2.0 modems on the CMTS, use the show cable modem wideband command with the registered-traditional-docsis keyword.
