Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Information about DOCSIS3.1 Downstream Resiliency for RPHY

When DOCSIS3.1 cable modem reports non-primary RF channel failure for SCQAM or OFDM channel, actions performed by downstream resiliency is the same as DOCSIS3.0 cable modem. In other words, if RF channel impairment is below the resiliency threshold, CM’s service flows are moved to Resiliency Bonding Group (RBG) or Narrow Band (NB) interface. If RF channel impairment is above the resiliency threshold, the impaired RF channel is temporarily removed from the bonding group.

The following table summarizes the CM-STATUS events for OFDM channel, and the action taken by the downstream resiliency module:

Table 2. CM-STATUS events for OFDM channel

Event Type Code

Event Description

DS Resiliency Action

1

MDD timeout

Move CM’s service flows to RBG/NB or suspend RF from BG.

2

FEC lock failure

Move CM’s service flows to RBG/NB or suspend RF from BG.

4

MDD recovery

Move CM’s service flows back to original BG.

5

FEC lock recovery

Move CM’s service flows back to original BG.

16

DS OFDM profile failure. A loss of FEC lock on one of the assigned downstream OFDM profiles of a channel.

DS OFDM Profile Manager will handle this event and take action.

20

NCP profile failure. Loss of FEC lock on NCP.

Move CM's service flows to RBG/NB or suspend RF from BG.

21

Loss of FEC lock on the PLC.

Move CM's service flows to RBG/NB or suspend RF from BG.

22

NCP profile recovery.

Move CM's service flows back to original BG.

23

FEC recovery on PLC channel.

Move CM's service flows back to original BG.

24

FEC recovery on OFDM profile.

Recovery of impairment reported by event 16. DS OFDM Profile Manager will handle this event and take action.

Configure DOCSIS3.1 Downstream Resiliency for RPHY


Note

To know more about the commands referenced in this module, see the Cisco IOS Master Command List.

Configure DOCSIS3.1 Downstream Resiliency for RPHY

User must configure the command cable rf-change-trigger percent value count number to enable the downstream resiliency functionality.

To configure the trigger thresholds specific to OFDM RF impairment, follow the steps below:

enable  
configure terminal  
cable ofdm-rf-change-trigger percent  value counter  number [no-ncp-plc]

Trigger thresholds value and number apply globally to the non-primary OFDM RF channels. If this command is not configured, the trigger thresholds configured by the command cable rf-change-trigger percent value count number will be used for the non-primary OFDM channels.

With no-ncp-plc configured in the command, this feature will not take any action when CM reports CM-STATUS-EVENT 20 or 21.


Note

The cable rf-change-trigger percent value count number command is optional and the configured trigger thresholds apply to non-primary OFDM channels only.

Display OFDM Specific CM-STATUS Events

To display the statistics of the OFDM specific CM-STATUS events, use the show cable modem wideband rcs-status command as shown in the example below: 

router#show cable modem 4800.33ea.7072 wideband rcs-status verbose
