New and Changed Information

The following sections list the new hardware and software features supported on the Cisco cBR Series Converged Broadband Routers in this release:

New Software Features in Cisco 1x2 / Compact Shelf RPD Software 6.1

The new software features for Cisco 1x2 / Compact Shelf RPD Software 6.1 release are:

Disable LLDP by TLV

In Cisco 1x2 / Compact Shelf RPD Software 6.1, LldpEnable TLV is introduced to enable or disable the LLDP protocol. The RPD which supports this attribute MUST preserve the value of this attribute in it non-volatile configuration store.

Value is defined as the boolean value to enable/disable LLDP operation on the RPD. The values are:

  • 0 – LLDP is disabled.

  • 1 – LLDP is enabled.

The selection of a default value is left to vendor’s choice.

New added events

New events are supported for DHCPv6 and supported networks.

Factory reset support

Starting from Cisco 1x2 / Compact Shelf RPD Software 6.1, factory reset and NVRAM reset via TLV and CLI are supported.

  • factoryReset: The device restores the factory configuration and performs a hard reset. You can perform a factoryReset by running the following:
    
R-PHY>enable 
R-PHY#reboot factory-reset
  • nvReset: The device clears non-volatile configuration and performs a hard reset. You can perform a nvReset by running the following:
    
R-PHY>enable 
R-PHY#reboot nvreset

Support for Narrowband Digital Forward And Narrowband Digital Return

Narrowband Digital Forward (NDF) refers to the digitizing of an analog portion of the downstream spectrum at the headend, sending the digital samples as payload in [DEPI] packets to the RPD, and then re-creating the original analog stream at the RPD. NDF supports services such as FM Broadcast, DAB+ Broadcast, and OOB signals for Forward Sweep, DS Leakage, and Element management.

Narrowband Digital Return (NDR) refers to the digitizing of an analog portion of the upstream spectrum at the RPD, sending the digital samples as payload in [R-UEPI] packets to the CMTS, and then re-creating the original analog stream at the headend. NDR supports legacy OOB signals for Reverse Sweep, Return Path Monitoring, FSK based HMS, and other FSK based telemetry signals.

The following commands are introduced on the Cisco 1x2 / Compact Shelf RPD Software 6.1 release:

  • show downstream oob configuration ndf – Provides the NDF configuration in RPD for each NDF channel configured. It displays PHY information for the NDF session.

  • show upstream oob configuration ndr – Provides the NDR configuration in RPD for each of NDR channel configured. It displays PHY and L2TP information.

  • show downstream oob counter ndf – Provides the NDF packet counter from BCM for each NDF channel configured. It is a clear on read counter.

  • show upstream oob counter ndr – Provides the internal mapping of RPD channels and its corresponding channel configured in core.

  • show oob fpga ndf-status – Provides the NDF FPGA status for each NDF channel configured.

  • show oob ds-mapping – Provides the internal mapping of RPD channels and its corresponding channel configured in the core.

For more information, see the Cisco cBR Series Converged Broadband Routers Quality of Services Configuration Guide for Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.10.x and the Cisco CMTS Cable Command Reference Guide.
