Introduction

For information on new features and Cisco IOS commands supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1)XF1, see the "New and Changed Information" section and the "Related Documentation" section.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1)XF1 introduces the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router, which provides a high-capacity, high-throughput cable modem termination system (CMTS), optimized for aggregating traffic at the edge of the cable network. Designed for cable operators and service providers, the platform connects residential subscribers via cable modems, digital set-top boxes, or IP telephony cable modems for high-speed data, broadband entertainment, and IP telephony solutions.

The Cisco uBR10012 router has been designed as a high-capacity platform that places a new level of intelligence at the edge of the network, enabling cable service providers to maximize their revenues by delivering more feature-rich services to their customers. The Cisco uBR10012 uses the industry-proven Parallel eXpress Forwarding (PXF) technology, derived from the Cisco ESR10000 Edge Services Router, to provide consistent, high-performance throughput, even as software features are added and additional services are deployed.

In addition, it supports a variety of broadband access technologies, including Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS), gigabit ethernet, and optical. With support for multiple standards, operators can choose the appropriate services and devices to optimize their capital investment with a single CMTS platform. With access to current and future software enhancements, the Cisco uBR10012 also ensures investment protection as standards and customer needs continue to evolve.

Cable companies and Internet service providers (ISPs) can allocate radio frequency (RF) channel capacity for Internet access or high priority services using a hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) or an all-coax cable plant. Cisco currently provides two router-based DOCSIS CMTS solutions that offer a wider feature set and better manageability than bridge-based systems.

The Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router

The Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router brings the powerful performance and proven reliability of the industry-leading, DOCSIS-qualified Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router product line to the next level of performance, capacity, and throughput. The Cisco uBR10012 platform provides a complete, easy-to-use, integrated router and cable modem termination system (CMTS) package, with feature-rich software and unparalleled customer service and support. With access to current and future software enhancements, the Cisco uBR10012 routers also ensure investment protection as standards evolve.

The Cisco uBR10012 router supports up to eight cable interface line cards. Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1)XF1 supports the Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C line card, based on the existing Cisco uBR-MC28C line card, with two downstreams and eight upstreams divided into two domains. This provides the ability to support a large volume of cable modem subscribers using only one chassis.

For connection to the Internet and other networks, the Cisco uBR10012 router supports up to four network uplink line cards, each of which can support connections as fast as 1Gb/s (Gigabit Ethernet). Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1)XF1 supports OC-12 POS and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

Note This guide focuses on Cisco uBR10012 software. For detailed descriptions of the Cisco uBR10012 router chassis and components, see the Cisco uBR10000 Series Hardware Installation Guide and the appropriate field replaceable unit (FRU) documents.

Cisco uBR10012 Router Cable Interface

The cable interface in the Cisco uBR10012 router serves as the RF cable TV interface, supporting downstream and upstream signals. The downstream is output as an IF signal suitable for use with an external upconverter. Your cable plant, combined with your planned and installed subscriber base, service offering, and external network connections, determines what combination of Cisco uBR10012 cable interfaces, network uplink line cards, and other components that you should use.

Table 2 Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Overview

Cable Interface Line cards

Up to eight Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C line cards (Cisco uBR-MC28C cable interface line card and Cisco Line Card Processor combined) can be housed in a chassis. Each line card supports two domains of 1 downstream and 4 upstreams each, for a total of two downstreams and eight upstreams for each card.

Network Uplink Line Cards

Up to four cards with following WAN choices:

•ESR-1GE Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) uplink line card

•ESR-1OC12/P-SMI OC-12 POS uplink line card

Timing, Communication and Control Plus (TCC+) card

The TCC+ card can connect to an external reference Stratum 3 clock source that is traceable to a Stratum 1 source. Two such sources can be connected for redundancy.

The TCC+ card also monitors the cable line cards and power supply use, as well as control the LCD display screen on the chassis. Two cards can be installed for redundancy.

Performance Routing Engine (PRE)

One PRE module performs layer 2 and layer 3 packet processing, as well as routing and system management functions. Two PRE modules can be installed for redundancy.

DC-input Power Entry Module (PEM)

Two DC PEMs provide power to the chassis. The use of two PEMs provide power balancing and redundancy, as well as the ability to hot-swap a single power supply when needed.

Fan assembly module

The fan assembly module contains four fans that are capable of cooling the chassis even with the failure of a single fan. The fan assembly is dual-speed, providing additional cooling when the chassis temperature exceeds the nominal operating range.

Important Notes

The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1)XF1 that apply to Cisco uBR10012 series universal broadband routers.

Configuring the Routing Protocol Causes a Reset of the Cable Modems

Be aware that when configuring a routing protocol on an interface, the Cisco IOS software must reset the interface to enable the change. This normally does not significantly affect operations on the interface, except that when this is done on a cable interface, it causes all cable modems on that particular downstream to reinitialize, potentially interfering with data transmission on that downstream. Therefore you should use the interface configuration commands, such as router rip, on a cable interface only when a minimum of subscribers would be affected.

New and Changed Information

The following sections list the new hardware and software features supported by the Cisco uBR10000 series routers for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 XF.

No New Hardware Features in Release 12.2(1)XF1

MIBs

Current MIBs

To obtain lists of supported MIBs by platform and Cisco IOS release, and to download MIB modules, go to the Cisco MIB web site on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.

Supported MIBs

The Cisco uBR10000 series universal broadband routers support the following categories of MIBs:

•SNMP standard MIBs—These MIBs are required by any agent supporting SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 network management.

•Cisco's platform and network-layer enterprise MIBs—Common across most of Cisco's router platforms. If your network management applications are already configured to support other Cisco routers, such as the 2600 series router, no further configuration is needed unless the version of Cisco IOS software being used has updated these MIBs.

•Cable-specific MIBs—Provide information about the cable interfaces and related information on the uBR10000 series routers. They include both DOCSIS-specific MIBs and Cisco-specific enterprise MIBs. If your network management applications have not already been configured for the Cisco uBR10012 routers, these MIBs must be loaded.

•Deprecated MIBs—Supported in earlier releases of Cisco IOS software but have been replaced by more standardized, scalable MIBs. Network Management applications and scripts should convert to the replacement MIBs as soon as possible.

•CISCO-ENTITY-VENDORTYPE-OID-MIB

The cable-specific MIBs are described in the following section. For information on the SNMP standard MIBs and Cisco's platform and network-layer enterprise MIBs, see Cisco's MIB web site at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.

Cable-Specific MIBs

Table 4 shows the cable-specific MIBs that are supported on the Cisco uBR10000 series universal broadband routers. The table also provides a brief description of each MIB's contents and the Cisco IOS Software Release in which the MIB was initially functional—earlier releases might have had unsupported prototype versions of the MIB; later releases might have added new attributes and functionality. Because of interdependencies, the MIBs must be loaded in the order given in the table.

Note The names given in Table 4 are the filenames for the MIBs as they exist on Cisco's FTP site (ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/ or http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs). Most MIBs are available in both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 versions; the SNMPv1 versions have V1SMI as part of their filenames.

DOCSIS BPI IP Plus	ubr10k-k8p6-mz	40 MB Flash	128 MB DRAM	RAM

Table 2 Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Overview
Cable Interface Line cards	Up to eight Cisco uBR-LCP-MC28C line cards (Cisco uBR-MC28C cable interface line card and Cisco Line Card Processor combined) can be housed in a chassis. Each line card supports two domains of 1 downstream and 4 upstreams each, for a total of two downstreams and eight upstreams for each card.
Network Uplink Line Cards	Up to four cards with following WAN choices: •ESR-1GE Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) uplink line card •ESR-1OC12/P-SMI OC-12 POS uplink line card
Timing, Communication and Control Plus (TCC+) card	The TCC+ card can connect to an external reference Stratum 3 clock source that is traceable to a Stratum 1 source. Two such sources can be connected for redundancy. The TCC+ card also monitors the cable line cards and power supply use, as well as control the LCD display screen on the chassis. Two cards can be installed for redundancy.
Performance Routing Engine (PRE)	One PRE module performs layer 2 and layer 3 packet processing, as well as routing and system management functions. Two PRE modules can be installed for redundancy.
DC-input Power Entry Module (PEM)	Two DC PEMs provide power to the chassis. The use of two PEMs provide power balancing and redundancy, as well as the ability to hot-swap a single power supply when needed.
Fan assembly module	The fan assembly module contains four fans that are capable of cooling the chassis even with the failure of a single fan. The fan assembly is dual-speed, providing additional cooling when the chassis temperature exceeds the nominal operating range.
