Preparing for Configuration

Section Purpose
“Configuring the Cable Interface Provides instructions for using the Setup facility to create an
with the Extended Setup Facility” initial configuration. The extended setup prompts you to
section on page 16 configure each interface on the system.
“Reviewing Your Settings and Provides commands to check your settings and review any
Configurations” section on page 19 changes to your configuration.

Preparing for Configuration

Complete these prerequisite steps before you power on and configure the Cisco uBR10012 router:
• Ensure that your network supports reliable broadband data transmission. Your plant must be swept,
balanced, and certified based on National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) or appropriate
international cable plant recommendations. Ensure your plant meets all Data-over-Cable Service
Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) downstream and upstream radio frequency (RF) requirements.
• Ensure that your Cisco uBR10012 router is installed according to the instructions in the hardware
installation guide that came with your CMTS.
• Ensure that all other required headend or distribution hub routing and network interface equipment
is installed, configured, and operational (based on the supported services). This includes:
– All routers
– Servers (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers, Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP) servers, and time-of-day (ToD) servers)
– Network management systems
– Other configuration or billing systems
• Ensure that DHCP and DOCSIS configuration files have been created and pushed to appropriate
servers so that each CM, when initialized, can:
– Transmit a DHCP request
– Receive an IP address
– Obtain TFTP and ToD server addresses
– Download a DOCSIS configuration file (or updated software image if using Cisco uBR924
cable access routers or Cisco uBR910 cable data service units (DSUs) in your network)
• Ensure that customer premises equipment (CPE)—CMs or set-top boxes (STBs), PCs, telephones,
or facsimile machines—meet requirements for your network and service offerings.
• Be familiar with your channel plan to assign appropriate frequencies. Outline your strategies for
setting up bundling, if applicable to your headend or distribution hub. As appropriate, obtain:
– Passwords
– IP addresses
– Subnet masks
– Device names
After these prerequisites are met, you are ready to configure the Cisco uBR10012 router. This includes,
at a minimum:
• Configuring a host name and password for the Cisco uBR10012 router

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

Understanding Cisco uBR10012 Router Configuration Fundamentals

• Configuring the 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 CMTS
before CMs attempt to make a connection.

Understanding Cisco uBR10012 Router Configuration

Fundamentals
This section describes the basic parameters of using passwords.

Note These sections provide minimal configuration instructions. For additional configuration information,
refer to subsequent chapters in this guide. For examples of Cisco uBR10000 series CMTS configuration
files, refer to the “Viewing Sample Configuration Files” section on page 19.

Tip Be sure that you have appropriate addresses and values based on your network before you attempt to
configure the router. Enter the show version command to display the release of Cisco IOS software on
your router.

Using the Enable Secret and the Enable Passwords

The Cisco uBR10012 router is administered using the Cisco command interpreter, called the EXEC. You
must boot and log in to the router before you can enter an EXEC command.

Step 1 Connect a terminal to the I/O controller console port of the Cisco uBR10012 router and establish a
terminal session. You can open a Terminal application (Hyper Terminal) on a PC as follows:
a. Connect using: Direct to Com 1
b. Set bits per second: 9600
c. Set data bits: 8
d. Set parity: none
e. Set stop bit: 1
f. Set flow control: none
Step 2 Power on the Cisco uBR10000 series. Enter no to choose the normal operating mode of the router. The
user EXEC prompt appears:
Would you like to enter the initial dialog?[yes]: no
Router>

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

Understanding Cisco uBR10012 Router Configuration Fundamentals

Setting Password Protection

Note For security purposes, the EXEC has two levels of access to commands: user EXEC mode and privileged
EXEC mode. The commands available at the user level are a subset of those available at the privileged
level.

Tip Because many privileged-level EXEC commands are used to set operating parameters, password-protect
these commands to prevent unauthorized use.

At the EXEC prompt, enter one of the following two commands to set password protection:
• enable secret password (which is a very secure, encrypted password)
• enable password (which is a less secure, nonencrypted password)
To gain access to privileged-level commands, enter the desired password.

Note An enable secret password can contain from 1 to 25 uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters.
An enable password can contain any number of uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters. A
number cannot be the first character. Spaces are valid password characters; for example, “two words” is
a valid password. Leading spaces are ignored. Trailing spaces are recognized. Alphanumeric characters
are recognized as uppercase or lowercase.

Passwords should be different for maximum security. If you enter the same password for both during the
setup script, the system accepts it, but you receive a warning message indicating that you should enter a
different password.

Replacing or Recovering a Lost Password

This section describes how to recover a lost enable or console login password and how to replace a lost
enable secret password on your Cisco uBR10012 router.

Note It is possible to recover the enable or console login password. The enable secret password is encrypted,
however, and must be replaced with a new enable secret password.

Overview of the Password Recovery Process

Following is an overview of the general steps in the password recovery procedure:

Step 1 If you can log in to the router, enter the show version command to determine the existing configuration
register value.
Step 2 Press the Break key to get to the bootstrap program prompt (ROM monitor). You might need to reload
the system image by power cycling the router.
Step 3 Change the configuration register so that the following functions are enabled:
• Break
• Ignore startup configuration

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

4
 Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router for the First Time
Understanding Cisco uBR10012 Router Configuration Fundamentals

• Boot from Flash memory

Note The key to recovering a lost password is to set the configuration register bit 6 (0x0040) so that
the startup configuration (usually in NVRAM) is ignored. This allows you to log in without
using a password and to display the startup configuration passwords. Cisco recommends setting
the configuration register to 0x142.

Step 4 Power cycle the router by turning power off and then back on.
Step 5 Log in to the router and enter the privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 Enter the show startup-config command to display the passwords.
Step 7 Recover or replace the displayed passwords.
Step 8 Change the configuration register back to its original setting.

Note To recover a lost password if Break is disabled on the router, you must have physical access to the router.

Replacing or Recovering Passwords

Complete the following steps to recover or replace a lost enable, enable secret, or console login
password:

Step 1 Attach an ASCII terminal to the console port on your Cisco uBR10012 router.
Step 2 Configure the terminal to operate at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits.
Step 3 If you can log in to the router as a nonprivileged user, enter the show version command to display the
existing configuration register value. Note the value for later use. If you cannot log in to the router at all,
continue with the next step.
Step 4 Press the Break key or send a Break from the console terminal.
• If Break is enabled, the router enters the ROM monitor, indicated by the ROM monitor prompt
(rommon n>), where n is the number of the command line. Proceed to Step 6.
• If Break is disabled, power cycle the router (turn the router off or unplug the power cord, and then
restore power). Proceed to Step 5.
Step 5 Within 60 seconds of restoring the power to the router, press the Break key or send a Break. This action
causes the router to enter the ROM monitor and display the ROM monitor prompt (rommon 1>).
Step 6 To set the configuration register on a Cisco uBR10012 router, use the configuration register utility by
entering the confreg command at the ROM monitor prompt as follows:
rommon 1> confreg

Answer yes to the enable ignore system config info? prompt and note the current configuration
register settings.
Step 7 Initialize the router by entering the reset command as follows:
rommon 2> reset

The router initializes, the configuration register is set to 0x142, the router boots the system image from
Flash memory and enters the System Configuration dialog (setup), as follows:

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

5
 Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router for the First Time
Understanding Cisco uBR10012 Router Configuration Fundamentals

--- System Configuration Dialog --

Step 8 Enter no in response to the System Configuration dialog prompts until the following message appears:
Press RETURN to get started!

Step 9 Press Return. The user EXEC prompt appears as follows:

Router>

Step 10 Enter the enable command to enter privileged EXEC mode.

Step 11 Enter the show startup-config command to display the passwords in the configuration file as follows:
Router# show startup-config

Step 12 Scan the configuration file display looking for the passwords; the enable passwords are usually near the
beginning of the file, and the console login or user EXEC password is near the end. The passwords
displayed will look something like this:
enable secret 5 $1$ORPP$s9syZt4uKn3SnpuLDrhuei
enable password 23skiddoo
.
.
line con 0
password onramp

Note The enable secret password is encrypted and cannot be recovered; it must be replaced. The enable and
console passwords can be encrypted text or clear text.

Proceed to the next step to replace an enable secret, console login, or enable password. If there is no
enable secret password, note the enable and console login passwords if they are not encrypted and
proceed to Step 17.

Caution Do not perform the next step unless you have determined that you must change or replace the enable,
enable secret, or console login passwords. Failure to follow the steps as presented here could cause your
router configuration to be erased.

Step 13 Enter the configure memory command to load the startup configuration file into running memory. This
action allows you to modify or replace passwords in the configuration.
Router# configure memory

Step 14 Enter the configure terminal command for configuration mode:

Router# configure terminal

Step 15 To change all three passwords, enter the following commands:

Router(config)# enable secret newpassword1
Router(config)# enable password newpassword2
Router(config)# line con 0
Router(config)# password newpassword3

Change only the passwords necessary for your configuration. You can remove individual passwords by
using the no form of the previous commands. For example, entering the no enable secret command
removes the enable secret password.
Step 16 You must configure all interfaces to not be administratively shut down as follows:

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

6
 Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router for the First Time
Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Router Using AutoInstall

Router(config)# interface fast ethernet 0/0/0

Router(config)# no shutdown

Enter the equivalent commands for all interfaces that were originally configured. If you omit this step,
all interfaces are administratively shut down and unavailable when the router is restarted.
Step 17 Use the config-register command to set the configuration register to the original value noted in Step 3
or Step 7.
Step 18 Press Ctrl-Z or type end to exit configuration mode:
Router(config)# end

Caution Do not perform the next step unless you have changed or replaced a password. If you have skipped
Step 13 through Step 16 previously, then proceed now to Step 20. Failure to observe this sequence
causes the system to erase your router configuration file.

Step 19 Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save the new configuration to nonvolatile
memory:
Router# copy running-config startup-config

Step 20 Enter the reload command to reboot the router:

Router# reload

Step 21 Log in to the router with the new or recovered passwords.

Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Router Using AutoInstall

The AutoInstall process is designed to configure the Cisco uBR10012 router automatically after
connection to your WAN.
For AutoInstall to work properly, a TCP/IP host on your network must be preconfigured to provide the
required configuration files. The TCP/IP host can exist anywhere on the network as long as the following
conditions are maintained:
• The host must be on the LAN or WAN side of the router’s line card connection to the WAN.
• The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts to and from the router.
• The TCP/IP host is enabled.
This functionality is coordinated by your system administrator at the site where the TCP/IP host is
located. You should not use AutoInstall unless the required files are available on the TCP/IP host. Refer
to the following publications for more information about AutoInstall:

Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Router Using the Setup Facility

Preparing for the AutoInstall Process

Complete the following steps to prepare your Cisco uBR10012 router for the AutoInstall process:

Step 1 Attach the appropriate synchronous serial cable to the synchronous serial interface 0 on the router.
Step 2 Turn the power switch on each power supply to the ON (|) position. This action turns on power to the
router.
The router loads the operating system image from Flash memory; this process can take several minutes.
If the remote end of the WAN connection is connected and properly configured, the AutoInstall process
begins.
Step 3 When the AutoInstall process is completed, use the copy running-config startup-config command to
write the configuration data to the router’s nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM):
Router# copy running-config startup-config

Completing this step saves the configuration settings that the AutoInstall process created to NVRAM. If
you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.

Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Router Using the Setup Facility

The Cisco uBR10000 series Setup facility (also called the System Configuration dialog) is a useful and
efficient tool for configuring your CMTS. The Setup facility supports the following functions so that
cable interfaces and cable interface line cards are fully operational (after initial setup):
• Cable-specific commands
• Upstream frequency definition
For each cable interface, the following information is mandatory:
Per upstream:
cable upstream n frequency f
no cable upstream n shutdown

Options include definition of the following information:

• DHCP server address.
• Options are also provided to set downstream frequency for the upconverter per interface.
If you do not plan to use AutoInstall, do not connect the router’s WAN or LAN cable to the channel
service unit (CSU) and data service unit (DSU). If the WAN or LAN cable is connected to the CSU and
DSU and the router does not have a configuration stored in NVRAM, the router attempts to run
AutoInstall at startup.

Tip The router might take several minutes to determine that AutoInstall is not set up to a remote TCP/IP host.
When the router determines that AutoInstall is not configured, it defaults to the Setup facility. If the LAN
or WAN cable is not connected, the router boots from Flash memory and automatically runs the Setup
facility.

Note You can run the Setup facility when the enable prompt (#) is displayed, by entering the setup command
in privileged EXEC mode.

Configuring Global Parameters

When you first start the program, configure the global parameters to control system-wide settings:

Step 1 Connect a console terminal to the console port on the I/O controller, and then boot the router.
Step 2 After booting from Flash memory, the following information appears after about 30 seconds. When you
see this information, you have successfully booted your router:

Step 4 Choose which protocols to support on your interfaces. For IP-only installations, you can accept the
default values for most of the questions. A typical configuration using IP follows and continues through
Step 7:
Configuring global parameters:

Enter host name [Router]: router

Step 5 Enter the enable secret password, the enable password, and the virtual terminal password:
The enable secret password is a one-way cryptographic secret
password used instead of the enable password when it exists.

Enter enable secret: ******

The enable password is used when there is no enable secret

password and when using older software and some boot images.

Enter enable password: ******

Enter virtual terminal password: ******

Step 6 The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the most widely supported open standard for
network management. SNMP provides a means to access and set configuration and run-time parameters
of routers and communication servers. SNMP also defines a set of functions that can be used to monitor
and control network elements.
Enter yes to accept SNMP management; enter no to refuse it:

Note You must always manually save the configuration settings to NVRAM whenever they are modified.

Configuring Upstream Frequencies

Upstream parameters must be configured manually. After the Setup facility is run, upstream ports have
a default state of “shutdown.” You have two methods to configure upstream channel frequencies:
• Configure a fixed frequency between 5 to 42 MHz for North American channel plans, and enable
the upstream port.
• Create a global spectrum group, assign the interface to it, and enable the upstream port.
The cable interface card receiver accepts time-division multiplexed burst transmissions from
cable interfaces (or CMs in set-top boxes), which are DOCSIS-based. The upstream port becomes “up”
when it is assigned an upstream frequency and is configured to be administratively up.
The upstream port is frequency-agile. The frequency can change while the interface is up and carrying
traffic, if you define spectrum groups per the example provided.

Configuring Individual Upstream Modulation Profiles

You can define individual modulation profiles. A modulation profile consists of a table of physical layer
characteristics for the different types of upstream bursts such as initial maintenance, long grant, request
data, request, short grant, and station maintenance.

Note Only qualified personnel should define upstream modulation profiles.

Complete these steps to activate upstream interfaces:

Step 1 After the Setup facility has initially configured noncable interfaces on the Cisco uBR10012 router, enter
the enable command and your password (privileged EXEC).
Step 2 Enter the configure terminal command to get into global configuration mode.
Step 3 In global configuration mode, configure modulation profiles and spectrum groups for your
Cisco uBR10012 router using the cable modulation-profile and cable spectrum-group commands.

Step 4 In cable interface configuration mode, configure various characteristics for the interface in question,
using the cable upstream commands.

Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Router Manually Using

Configuration Mode
You can configure the Cisco uBR10012 router manually if you prefer not to use the Setup facility or
AutoInstall. Complete the following steps:

Step 1 Connect a console terminal to the console port on the I/O controller.
Step 2 When asked if you want to enter the initial dialog, answer no to go into the normal operating mode of
the router:
Would you like to enter the initial dialog? [yes]: no

Step 3 After a few seconds, the user EXEC prompt (Router>) appears. Type enable to enter enable mode
(configuration changes can be made only in enable mode):
Router> enable

The prompt changes to the enable mode (also called privileged EXEC) prompt:
Router#

Step 4 Enter the configure terminal command at the enable prompt to enter configuration mode from the
terminal:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#

Tip To see a list of the configuration commands available to you, enter ? at the prompt or type help while in
configuration mode.

Step 5 At the Router(config)# prompt, enter the interface type slot/port command to enter the interface
configuration mode:
Router(config)# interface cable slot/port
Router(config-if)#

Step 6 Set the downstream center frequency to reflect the digital carrier frequency of the downstream RF carrier
(the channel) for the downstream port:
Router(config-int)# cable downstream frequency down-freq-hz

Note This command has no effect on the external upconverter. It is informational only.

Step 7 Activate the downstream port on the cable interface line card to support digital data transmission over
the hybrid fiber-coaxial network:
Router(config-int)# no shutdown

Step 8 Enter the fixed center frequency in Hz for your downstream RF carrier and the port number:

Configuring the Cable Interface with the Extended Setup Facility

The Setup facility creates an initial configuration. The basic management setup configures only enough
connectivity for management of the system. The Extended Setup facility prompts you to configure each
interface on the system.
To invoke the configuration facility, use the following command:
Router# setup

The following is the System Configuration dialog:

Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes

MAC-Layer Addressing
The MAC-layer or hardware address is a standardized data link layer address required for certain
network interface types. These addresses are not used by other devices in the network; they are unique
to each port. The Cisco uBR10012 router uses a specific method to assign and control the MAC-layer
addresses for line cards.
All LAN interfaces (ports) require unique MAC-layer addresses, also known as hardware addresses.
Typically, the MAC address of an interface is stored on a memory component that resides directly on the
interface circuitry; however, the online insertion and removal (OIR) feature requires a different method.
The OIR feature lets you remove a line card and replace it with another identically configured one. If the
new line card matches the line card you removed, the system immediately brings it online.
To support OIR, an address allocator with a unique MAC address is stored in an EEPROM on the
Cisco uBR10012 router midplane. Each address is reserved for a specific port and slot in the router
regardless of whether a line card resides in that slot.

Caution When hot swapping a line card with a different type of interface, you might have to reconfigure the
interfaces. Refer to the hardware installation guide that ships with your CMTS or to the appropriate
field-replaceable unit (FRU) document for more specific information regarding OIR.

The MAC addresses are assigned to the slots in sequence. This address scheme allows you to remove
line cards and insert them into other Cisco uBR10012 router without causing the MAC addresses to
move around the network or be assigned to multiple devices.
Storing the MAC addresses for every slot in one central location means that the addresses stay with the
memory device on which they are stored.

Identifying the Cable Interface Line Card

Identifying CM Line Cards

The following Cisco cable interfaces can be installed in a Cisco CMTS:
• The Cisco uBR10012 router supports one downstream modulator and one upstream demodulator.
– The Cisco uBR10012 router supports the following defaults: QAM-256 at 40 MBps
downstream, and QAM-16 at 5 Mbps upstream.

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

16
 Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router for the First Time
Configuring the Cable Interface with the Extended Setup Facility

– The card supports upstream channel widths of 200 kHz, 400 kHz, 800 kHz, 1.6 MHz, and
3.2 MHz.
– The card outputs +42 dBmV and +/- 2 dBmV.
– The downstream modulator has both an RF output, using the integrated upconverter, and an
intermediate frequency (IF) output, which must be connected to an external upconverter.

Identifying CM Line Card Slots

On the Cisco uBR10012 router, the cable interface line card is fixed and is always slot 1. To display
information about a specific cable interface slot’s downstream channel, use the show interfaces cable
command with the CM card’s slot number and downstream port number in the following format:
show interfaces cable slot/downstream-port [downstream]

Use the slot number and downstream port number to display information about a downstream interface.
You can abbreviate the command to sh int c. The following example shows the display for upstream
channel port 0 on a Cisco uBR10012 router:
Router# sh int c 5/0/0

To display information about a specific cable interface slot’s upstream channel, use the
show interfaces cable command. Include these CM card parameters:
• Slot number
• Downstream port number
• Upstream port number
Use this format:
show interfaces cable slot/downstream-port [upstream] upstream-port

Use the slot number, downstream port number, and upstream port number to display information about
an upstream interface. You can abbreviate the command to sh int c.
The following example shows the display for upstream channel port 0 in cable interface slot 3 of a
Cisco uBR10012 router that is turned up:
Router# sh int c3/0/0 upstream

Configuring Global Parameters

Step 1 Access the host by responding to the following prompt: Enter host name [cmts]:
Step 2 The enable secret password is used to protect access to privileged EXEC and configuration modes. This
password, after entered, becomes encrypted in the configuration.
Respond to this prompt: Enter enable secret [Use current secret]: aa

Next, the enable password is used when you do not specify an enable secret password, with some older
software versions, and some boot images.
Step 3 Respond to this prompt: Enter enable password [rHoz]: bb
Next, use the virtual terminal password to protect access to the router over a network interface.
Step 4 Respond to this prompt: Enter virtual terminal password [cc]: cc

Reviewing Your Settings and Configurations

Tip If you do not save your settings, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.

Reviewing Your Settings and Configurations

You can check your settings and review any changes to your configuration using various software
commands.
• To view information specific to the hardware and cable interface configuration on your
Cisco uBR10012 router, use show commands.
– Use this command to verify the downstream center frequency:
Router# show controllers cable slot/port downstream

– Use this command to verify the current value of an upstream port frequency:
Router# show controllers cable slot/port upstream

– Use this command to check the value of the settings you entered:
Router# show running-config

• To review changes you make to the configuration, use the EXEC show startup-config command to
display the information stored in NVRAM.

Viewing Sample Configuration Files

This section provides examples of Cisco uBR10012 router configuration files. To view the current
configuration of a Cisco uBR10012 router, enter the show running-config command at the
command-line interface (CLI) prompt in EXEC mode or privileged EXEC mode.

Baseline Privacy Interface Configuration Files

The Cisco uBR10000 series CMTS supports 56-bit and 40-bit encryption and decryption; 56 bit is the
default. After you choose a CMTS image that supports Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI), BPI is enabled
by default for the Cisco uBR10000 series CMTS. Key commands that appear in the
Cisco uBR10012 router configuration file that denote that encryption and decryption are supported
include:
• int cable 5/0/0
• cable privacy kek grace-time 800
• cable privacy kek life-time 750000
• cable privacy tek grace-time 800
• cable privacy tek life-time 56000
• cable privacy enable
• cable privacy mandatory

Note The cable interface must also support encryption and decryption.

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

19
 Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router for the First Time
Reviewing Your Settings and Configurations

When Baseline Privacy is enabled, the Cisco uBR10012 router routes encrypted and decrypted packets
from a host or peer to another host or peer. BPI is configured with key encryption keys (KEKs) and traffic
encryption keys (TEKs). A KEK is assigned to a CM, based on the CM’s service identifier (SID), and
permits the CM to connect to the Cisco uBR10012 router when Baseline Privacy is activated. The TEK
is assigned to a CM when its KEK has been established. The TEK is used to encrypt data traffic between
the CM and the Cisco uBR10012 router.
KEKS and TEKs can be set for Baseline Privacy on the HFC network to expire based on a grace-time
or a life-time value, defined in seconds. A grace-time value assigns a temporary key to a CM to access
the network. A life-time value assigns a more permanent key to a CM. Each CM that has a life-time
value assigned requests a new lifetime key from the Cisco uBR10012 router before the current one
expires.
To set the duration in seconds for KEK or TEK grace-time or life-time, use the following commands
in global configuration mode. To restore the default values, use the no form of each command.
cable privacy kek {grace-time [seconds] | life-time [seconds]}
no cable privacy kek {grace-time | life-time}

cable privacy tek {grace-time [seconds] | life-time [seconds]}

no cable privacy tek {grace-time | life-time}

Syntax Description grace-time seconds (Optional) Length of key encryption grace-time in seconds. Valid range is
300 to 1800 seconds. The default grace-time value is 600 seconds.
life-time seconds (Optional) Length of the key encryption life-time in seconds.Valid range is
86,400 to 604,8000. The default life-time value is 604800 seconds.

Tip Use the show cable modem command to identify a CM with encryption and decryption enabled. The
online(pk) output of this command reveals a CM that is registered with BPI enabled and a KEK assigned.
The online(pt) output reveals a CM that is registered with BPI enabled and a TEK assigned.

Should you want to change the Cisco uBR10000 series default of 56-bit encryption and decryption to
40-bit, use the “40 bit DES” option:
Router(config-if)# cable privacy ?
40-bit-des select 40 bit DES
^^^^^^^^^^
authenticate-modem turn on BPI modem authentication
authorize-multicast turn on BPI multicast authorization
kek KEK Key Parms
mandatory force privacy be mandatory
tek TEK Key Parms

Software then generates a 40-bit DES key, where the DES key that is generated and returned masks the
first 16 bits of the 56-bit key to zero in software. To return to 56-bit encryption and decryption after
changing to 40-bit, enter the no command in front of the “40 bit des” option.

Router> enable secret cisco

Step 2 To gain access to privilege EXEC-level commands,

enter the desired password.

Note • An enable secret password can contain from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters in uppercase and
lowercase.
• An enable password can contain any number of alphanumeric characters in uppercase and
lowercase.
• A number cannot be the first character.
• Spaces are valid password characters; for example, “two words” is a valid password.
• Leading spaces are ignored. Trailing spaces are recognized.
• Alphanumeric characters are recognized as uppercase or lowercase.

Passwords should be different for maximum security. If you enter the same password for both during the
setup script, the system accepts it, but you receive a warning message indicating that you should enter a
different password.

Recovering Passwords on the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router

This section describes how to recover a lost enable or console login password and how to replace a lost
enable secret password on your Cisco uBR7200 series router.

Note It is possible to recover the enable or console login password. The enable secret password is encrypted,
however, and must be replaced with a new enable secret password.

Overview of the Password Recovery Process

Following is an overview of the general steps in the password recovery procedure:

Step 1 If you can log in to the router, enter the show version command to determine the existing configuration
register value.

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

28
 Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers for the First Time
Configuration Fundamentals for the Cisco uBR7200 Series Routers

Step 2 Press the Break key to get to the bootstrap program prompt (ROM monitor). You might need to reload
the system image by power cycling the router.
Step 3 Change the configuration register so that the following functions are enabled:
• Break
• Ignore startup configuration
• Boot from Flash memory

Note The key to recovering a lost password is to set the configuration register bit 6 (0x0040) so that
the startup configuration (usually in NVRAM) is ignored. This allows you to log in without
using a password and to display the startup configuration passwords. Cisco recommends setting
the configuration register to 0x142.

Step 4 Power cycle the router by turning power off and then back on.
Step 5 Log in to the router and enter the privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 Enter the show startup-config command to display the passwords.
Step 7 Recover or replace the displayed passwords.
Step 8 Change the configuration register back to its original setting.

Note To recover a lost password if Break is disabled on the router, you must have physical access to the router.

Replacing or Recovering Passwords

Complete the following steps to recover or replace a lost enable, enable secret, or console login
password:

Step 1 Attach an ASCII terminal to the console port on your Cisco uBR7200 series router.
Step 2 Configure the terminal to operate at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits.
Step 3 If you can log in to the router as a nonprivileged user, enter the show version command to display the
existing configuration register value. Note the value for later use. If you cannot log in to the router at all,
continue with the next step.
Step 4 Press the Break key or send a Break from the console terminal.
• If Break is enabled, the router enters the ROM monitor, indicated by the ROM monitor prompt
(rommon n>), where n is the number of the command line. Proceed to Step 6.
• If Break is disabled, power cycle the router (turn the router off or unplug the power cord, and then
restore power). Proceed to Step 5.
Step 5 Within 60 seconds of restoring the power to the router, press the Break key or send a Break. This action
causes the router to enter the ROM monitor and display the ROM monitor prompt (rommon 1>).
Step 6 To set the configuration register on a Cisco uBR7200 series router, use the configuration register utility
by entering the confreg command at the ROM monitor prompt as follows:
rommon 1> confreg

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

29
 Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers for the First Time
Configuration Fundamentals for the Cisco uBR7200 Series Routers

Answer yes to the enable ignore system config info? prompt and note the current configuration
register settings.
Step 7 Initialize the router by entering the reset command as follows:
rommon 2> reset

The router initializes, the configuration register is set to 0x142, the router boots the system image from
Flash memory and enters the System Configuration dialog (setup), as follows:
--- System Configuration Dialog --

Step 8 Enter no in response to the System Configuration dialog prompts until the following message appears:
Press RETURN to get started!

Step 9 Press Return. The user EXEC prompt appears as follows:

Router>

Step 10 Enter the enable command to enter privileged EXEC mode.

Step 11 Enter the show startup-config command to display the passwords in the configuration file as follows:
Router# show startup-config

Step 12 Scan the configuration file display looking for the passwords; the enable passwords are usually near the
beginning of the file, and the console login or user EXEC password is near the end. The passwords
displayed will appear similar to the following:
enable secret 5 $1$ORPP$s9syZt4uKn3SnpuLDrhuei
enable password 23skiddoo
.
.
line con 0
password onramp

Note The enable secret password is encrypted and cannot be recovered; it must be replaced. The enable and
console passwords can be encrypted text or clear text.

Proceed to the next step to replace an enable secret, console login, or enable password. If there is no
enable secret password, note the enable and console login passwords if they are not encrypted and
proceed to Step 17.

Caution Do not perform the next step unless you have determined that you must change or replace the enable,
enable secret, or console login passwords. Failure to follow the steps as presented here could cause your
router configuration to be erased.

Step 13 Enter the configure memory command to load the startup configuration file into running memory. This
action allows you to modify or replace passwords in the configuration.
Router# configure memory

Step 14 Enter the configure terminal command for configuration mode:

Router# configure terminal

Step 15 To change all three passwords, enter the following commands:

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

30
Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers for the First Time
Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router Using AutoInstall

Router(config)# enable secret newpassword1

Router(config)# enable password newpassword2
Router(config)# line con 0
Router(config)# password newpassword3

Change only the passwords necessary for your configuration. You can remove individual passwords by
using the no form of the previous commands. For example, entering the no enable secret command
removes the enable secret password.
Step 16 You must configure all interfaces to not be administratively shut down as follows:
Router(config)# interface fast ethernet 0/0
Router(config)# no shutdown

Enter the equivalent commands for all interfaces that were originally configured. If you omit this step,
all interfaces are administratively shut down and unavailable when the router is restarted.
Step 17 Use the config-register command to set the configuration register to the original value noted in Step 3
or Step 7.
Step 18 Press Ctrl-Z or type end to exit configuration mode:
Router(config)# end

Caution Do not perform the next step unless you have changed or replaced a password. If you have skipped
Step 13 through Step 16 previously, then proceed now to Step 20. Failure to observe this sequence
causes the system to erase your router configuration file.

Step 19 Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save the new configuration to nonvolatile
memory:
Router# copy running-config startup-config

Step 20 Enter the reload command to reboot the router:

Router# reload

Step 21 Log in to the router with the new or recovered passwords.

Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router Using AutoInstall

This section provides information about AutoInstall, a Cisco IOS software feature that allows you to
configure a new router automatically and dynamically. The AutoInstall process involves connecting a
new router to a network where an existing router is preconfigured, turning on the new router, and
enabling it with a configuration file that is automatically downloaded from a TFTP server.
The AutoInstall process begins any time a Cisco IOS software-based device is turned on and a valid
configuration file is not found in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM).

Note If you wish to configure the device manually, you should connect directly to the console port and ensure
that the router is not connected to the network via any of the interface ports before you turn on the router.
Note that it may take several minutes for the device to determine that AutoInstall is not connected to the
network.

This section contains the following information and procedures:

• “Autoinstall Requirements” section on page 32
• “Understanding AutoInstall” section on page 33
• “Preparing for the AutoInstall Process” section on page 33
• “Performing the AutoInstall Procedure” section on page 34
• “Setting Up the TFTP Server for Autoinstall” section on page 37
• “Setting Up the BOOTP or RARP Server for Autoinstall” section on page 38
• “Connecting the New Router to the Network” section on page 39

Autoinstall Requirements
For AutoInstall to work properly, the following conditions must be met:
• Routers must be attached physically to the network using one or more of the following interface
types:
– Ethernet
– Token Ring
– FDDI
– Serial with High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) encapsulation
– Serial with Frame Relay encapsulation

Note HDLC is the default serial encapsulation. If the AutoInstall process fails over HDLC, the Cisco IOS
software automatically configures Frame Relay encapsulation.

Note Of Token Ring interfaces, only those that set ring speed with physical jumpers support AutoInstall.
AutoInstall does not work with Token Ring interfaces for which the ring speed must be set with software
configuration commands. If the ring speed is not set, the interface is set to shutdown mode.

• A TCP/IP host on your network must be preconfigured to provide the required configuration files.
• The TCP/IP host can exist anywhere on the network as long as the following conditions are
maintained:
– The host must be on the LAN or WAN side of the router’s line card connection to the WAN.
– The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts to and from the router.
– The TCP/IP host is enabled.
This functionality is coordinated by your system administrator at the site where the TCP/IP host is
located. You should not use AutoInstall unless the required files are available on the TCP/IP host.

 Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers for the First Time
Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router Using AutoInstall

Understanding AutoInstall
Once the requirements for using AutoInstall are met, the dynamic configuration of the new router occurs
as follows:
1. The new router acquires its IP address. Depending on the interface connection between the two
routers and/or access servers, the new router's IP address is dynamically resolved by either SLARP
requests or BOOTP or RARP requests.
2. The new router resolves its name through network-confg, cisconet.cfg, or DNS.
3. The new router automatically requests and downloads its configuration file from a TFTP server.
4. If a host name is not resolved, the new router attempts to load router-confg or ciscortr.cfg.

Preparing for the AutoInstall Process

Complete the following steps to prepare your Cisco uBR7200 series CMTS router for the AutoInstall
process:

Step 1 Attach the appropriate synchronous serial cable to the synchronous serial interface 0 on the router.
Step 2 Turn the power switch on each power supply to the ON (|) position. This action turns on power to the
router.
The router loads the operating system image from Flash memory; this process can take several minutes.
If the remote end of the WAN connection is connected and properly configured, the AutoInstall process
begins.
Step 3 When the AutoInstall process is completed, use the copy running-config startup-config command to
write the configuration data to the router’s nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM):
Router# copy running-config startup-config

Completing this step saves the configuration settings that the AutoInstall process created to NVRAM. If
you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
Step 4 Choose your preferred method to verify the required file configurations for the AutoInstall Facility:

Task Description
a. Verify that the configuration file is Complete this task first (required). Verify that a configuration file
on the TFTP server. for the new router resides on a TFTP server. This file can contain
the full or minimum-required configuration for the administrator
to Telnet into the new router (for configuration using Autoinstall).
Note In addition, complete one of the following two tasks.
b. Verify that a file named Complete this task, or task c. In this task, verify that the
network-confg also resides on the network-confg file on the TFTP server has an Internet Protocol

reachable from the new router.
c. Add IP-address-to-host name Complete this task, or task b. In this task, add an IP address-to-host
mapping to a DNS database file. name mapping for the new router to a Domain Name System
(DNS) database file on the TFTP server.

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

33
 Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers for the First Time
Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router Using AutoInstall

Step 5 If the existing router is to help install the new router automatically via an HDLC-encapsulated serial
interface using Serial Line Address Resolution Protocol (SLARP), that interface must be configured
with an IP address whose host portion has the value 1 or 2. (AutoInstall over Frame Relay does not have
this address constraint.) Subnet masks of any size are supported.
Step 6 If the existing router is to help install the new router automatically using a Frame Relay-encapsulated
serial interface, that interface must be configured with the following:
• An IP helper address pointing to the TFTP server. In the following example, 171.69.2.75 is the
address of the TFTP server:
ip helper 171.69.2.75
• A Frame Relay map pointing back to the new router. In the following example, 172.21.177.100 is
the IP address of the new router's serial interface, and 100 is the PVC identifier:
frame-relay map ip 172.21.177.100 100 dlci
Step 7 If the existing router is to help install the new router automatically via an Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI
interface using BOOTP or Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP), then a BOOTP or RARP server
also must be set up to map the new router's Media Access Control (MAC) address to its IP address.
Step 8 IP helper addresses might need to be configured to forward the TFTP and DNS broadcast requests from
the new router to the host that is providing those services.

Performing the AutoInstall Procedure

This procedure provides the steps to configure your Cisco uBR7200 series router using AutoInstall.

Note For a detailed description of the processes involved with AutoInstall, refer to the “Using AutoInstall and
Setup” chapter in the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide, Release 12.2 book
on Cisco.com.

To dynamically configure a new router using AutoInstall, complete the following steps. Steps 1, 2, and 3
are completed by the central administrator. Step 4 is completed by the person at the remote site.

Step 1 Modify the existing router's configuration to support the AutoInstall procedure.
Step 2 Set up the TFTP server to support the AutoInstall procedure.
Step 3 Set up the BOOTP or RARP server if needed. A BOOTP or RARP server is required for AutoInstall
using an Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, or Frame Relay-encapsulated serial interface. With a Frame
Relay-encapsulated serial interface, the existing router acts as the BOOTP server. A BOOTP or RARP
server is not required for AutoInstall using an HDLC-encapsulated serial interface.
Step 4 Connect the new router to the network.

Configuring an Interface to Allow Use of AutoInstall

You can use AutoInstall through any of the following types of interfaces:
• Using an HDLC-Encapsulated Serial Interface Connection (the default configuration for a serial
line)

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

34
 Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers for the First Time
Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router Using AutoInstall

• Using an Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI Interface Connection

• Using a Frame Relay-Encapsulated Serial Interface Connection

Using an HDLC-Encapsulated Serial Interface Connection

To set up AutoInstall via a serial line with HDLC encapsulation (the default), you must configure the
existing router. Use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Step 1 interface serial Configures the serial interface that connects to the new router with
interface-number HDLC encapsulation (the default), and enters interface configuration
mode for the specified interface number.
Step 2 ip address address mask Enters an IP address for the interface. The host portion of the address
must have a value of 1 or 2. (AutoInstall over Frame Relay does not have
this address constraint.)
Step 3 ip helper-address address Configures a helper address for the serial interface to forward broadcasts
associated with the TFTP, BOOTP, and DNS requests.
Step 4 clock rate bps (Optional) Configures a DCE clock rate for the serial line, unless an
external clock is being used. This step is needed only for DCE appliques.
Step 5 Ctrl-Z Exits configuration mode.
Step 6 copy running-config Saves the configuration file to your startup configuration. On most
startup-config platforms, this step saves the configuration to NVRAM. On the
Cisco7000 family, this step saves the configuration to the location
specified by the CONFIG_FILE environment variable.

In the following example, the existing router's configuration file contains the commands needed to
configure the router for AutoInstall on a serial line using HDLC encapsulation:
Router# more system:startup-config
. . .
interface serial 0
ip address 172.31.10.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 172.31.20.5
. . .

Using an Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI Interface Connection

To set up AutoInstall using an Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI interface, you must modify the
configuration of the existing router. Use the following commands, beginning in global configuration
mode:

Command Purpose
Step 1 interface {ethernet | tokenring | Enters interface configuration mode for the specified LAN
fddi} interface-number interface.
Step 2 ip address address mask Specifies an IP address for the interface.
Step 3 ip helper-address address (Optional) Configures a helper address to forward broadcasts
associated with the TFTP, BOOTP, and DNS requests.

Command Purpose
Step 4 Ctrl-Z Exits configuration mode.
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config Saves the configuration file to your startup configuration. On
most platforms, this step saves the configuration to NVRAM.
On the Cisco7000 family, this step saves the configuration to
the location specified by the CONFIG_FILE environment
variable.

Typically, the LAN interface and IP address are already configured on the existing router. You might
need to configure an IP helper address if the TFTP server is not on the same network as the new router.
In the following example, the existing router's configuration file contains the commands needed to
configure the router for AutoInstall on an Ethernet interface:
Router# more system:startup-config
. . .
interface Ethernet 0
ip address 172.31.10.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 172.31.20.5
. . .

Using a Frame Relay-Encapsulated Serial Interface Connection

To set up AutoInstall via a serial line with Frame Relay encapsulation, you must configure the existing
router. Use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Step 1 interface serial 0 Configures the serial interface that connects to the new router,
and enters interface configuration mode.
Step 2 encapsulation frame-relay Configures Frame Relay encapsulation on the interface that
connects to the new router.
Step 3 frame-relay map ip ip-address dlci Creates a Frame Relay map pointing back to the new router.
or or
frame-relay interface-dlci dlci For point-to-point subinterfaces, assigns a data link connection
option [protocol ip ip-address] identifier (DLCI) to the interface that connects to the new
router, and provides the IP address of the serial port on the new
router.
Step 4 ip address address mask Specifies an IP address for the interface. This step sets the IP
address of the existing router.
Step 5 ip helper-address address Configures a helper address for the TFTP server.
Step 6 _(_IREFOBJ:1006127_) (Optional) Configures a DCE clock rate for the serial line,
_clock rate bps unless an external clock is being used. This step is needed only
for DCE appliques.
Step 7 Ctrl-Z Exits configuration mode.
Step 8 copy running-config startup-config Saves the configuration file to your startup configuration.
Note On most platforms, this step saves the configuration to
NVRAM. On the Cisco 7000 family, this step saves the
configuration to the location specified by the
CONFIG_FILE environment variable.

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

36
 Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers for the First Time
Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router Using AutoInstall

You must use a DTE interface on the new router because the network always provides the clock signal.
In the following example, the existing router's configuration file contains the commands needed to
configure the router for Frame Relay AutoInstall on a serial line:
Router# more system:startup-config
. . .
interface serial 0
ip address 172.31.20.20 255.255.255.0
encapsulation frame-relay
frame-relay map ip 172.31.10.1 255.255.255.0 48
ip helper-address 172.31.20.5
. . .

Setting Up the TFTP Server for Autoinstall

For AutoInstall to work correctly, the new router must be able to resolve its host name and then download
a name-confg or a name.cfg file from a TFTP server. The new router can resolve its host name by using
a network-confg or a cisconet.cfg file downloaded from a TFTP server or by using the DNS.
To set up a TFTP server to support AutoInstall, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Enable TFTP on a server. For information on this process, consult your host vendor's TFTP server
documentation and RFCs 906 and 783.
Step 2 If you want to use a network-confg or cisconet.cfg file to resolve the new router's name, create the
network-confg or cisconet.cfg file containing an IP address-to-host name mapping for the new router.
Enter the ip host command into the TFTP config file, not into the router. The IP address must match the
IP address that is to be dynamically obtained by the new router.
If you want to use DNS to resolve the new router's name, create an address-to-name mapping entry for
the new router in the DNS database. The IP address must match the IP address that is to be dynamically
obtained by the new router. For more information on this step, contact your DNS administrator or refer
to RFCs 1101 and 1183.
Step 3 Create the name-confg or name.cfg file, which should reside in the tftpboot directory on the TFTP server.
The name part of name-confg or name.cfg filename must match the host name you assigned for the new
router in the previous step. Enter configuration commands for the new router into this file.
The name-confg or the name.cfg file can contain either the new router's full configuration or a minimal
configuration.
The minimal configuration file is a virtual terminal password and an enable password. It allows an
administrator to Telnet into the new router to configure it. If you are using BOOTP or RARP to resolve
the address of the new router, the minimal configuration file must also include the IP address to be
obtained dynamically using BOOTP or RARP.
You can use the copy running-config tftp command to help you generate the configuration file that you
later download during the AutoInstall process.

Note The existing router might need to forward TFTP requests and response packets if the TFTP server is not
on the same network segment as the new router. When you modified the existing router's configuration,
you specified an IP helper address for this purpose.

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

37
 Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers for the First Time
Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router Using AutoInstall

You can save a minimal configuration under a generic newrouter-confg file. Use the ip host command
in the network-confg or cisconet.cfg file to specify newrouter as the host name with the address you will
be dynamically resolving. The new router should then resolve its IP address, host name, and minimal
configuration automatically.
Use Telnet to connect to the new router from the existing router and use the setup command facility to
configure the rest of the interfaces. For example, the line in the network-confg or cisconet.cfg file could
be similar to the following:
ip host newrouter 131.108.170.1

The following host configuration file contains the minimal set of commands needed for AutoInstall using
SLARP or BOOTP:
enable-password letmein
!
line vty 0
password letmein
!
end

The preceding example shows a minimal configuration for connecting from a router one hop away. From
this configuration, use the setup facility to configure the rest of the interfaces. If the router is more than
one hop away, you also must include routing information in the minimal configuration.
The following minimal network configuration file maps the new router's IP address, 131.108.10.2, to the
host name newrouter. The new router's address was learned via SLARP and is based on the existing
router's IP address of 131.108.10.1.
ip host newrouter 131.108.10.2

Setting Up the BOOTP or RARP Server for Autoinstall

If the new router is connected to the existing router using an Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI interface,
you must configure a BOOTP or RARP server to map the new router's MAC address to its IP address. If
the new router is connected to the existing router using a serial line with HDLC encapsulation, or if you
are configuring AutoInstall over Frame Relay, the tasks in this section are not required.
To configure a BOOTP or RARP server, use one of the following commands:
Command Purpose
Refer to your host vendor's documentation If BOOTP is to be used to resolve the new router's IP
and to RFCs 951 and 1395 address, configure your BOOTP server.
Refer to your host vendor's documentation If RARP is to be used to resolve the new router's IP
and to RFC 903 address, configure your RARP server.

Note If the RARP server is not on the same subnet as the new router, use the ip rarp-server command to
configure the existing router to act as a RARP server. For more information, see the "Configuring a
Router as a RARP Server" section.

The following host configuration file contains the minimum set of commands needed for AutoInstall
using RARP. It includes the IP address that will be obtained dynamically via BOOTP or RARP during
the AutoInstall process. When RARP is used, this extra information is needed to specify the proper
netmask for the interface.
interface ethernet 0

end

Connecting the New Router to the Network

Connect the new router to the network using either an HDLC-encapsulated or Frame Relay-encapsulated
serial interface or an Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI interface. After the router successfully resolves its
host name, newrouter sends a TFTP broadcast requesting the file name-confg or name.cfg. The router
name must be in all lowercase, even if the true host name is not. The file is downloaded to the new router,
where the configuration commands take effect immediately. If the configuration file is complete, the new
router should be fully operational.
To save the complete configuration to NVRAM, use the following commands in privileged EXEC mode:

Command Purpose
Step 1 enable password Enters privileged mode on the new router.
Step 2 copy running-config Saves the information from the name-config file into your startup
startup-config configuration. On most platforms, this step saves the configuration to
NVRAM. On the Cisco 7000 family, this step saves the configuration to the
location specified by the CONFIG_FILE environment variable.

Caution Verify that the existing and new routers (or access servers) are connected before entering the
copy running-config startup-config EXEC command to save configuration changes. Use the ping
EXEC command to verify connectivity. If an incorrect configuration file is downloaded, the new router
will load NVRAM configuration information before it can enter AutoInstall mode.

If the configuration file is a minimal configuration file, the new router comes up, but with only one
interface operational. Use the following commands to connect to the new router and configure it:

Command Purpose
Step 1 telnet existing Establishes a Telnet connection to the existing router.
Step 2 telnet newrouter From the existing router, establishes a Telnet connection to the new router.
Step 3 enable password Enters privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 setup Enters setup mode to configure the new router.

Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router Using the Setup

Facility

Introduction to the Setup Facility

The Cisco uBR7200 series Setup facility (also called the System Configuration dialog) is a useful and
efficient tool for configuring your CMTS. The Cable Interface Setup Facility is an alternative mechanism
to enable or configure Cisco uBR7200 series parameters. The Setup facility supports automated
configuration of upstream parameters.
In earlier releases, upstream ports were put in a default shut-down state after the Setup facility was run.
You had to use the CLI to configure a fixed frequency or create a spectrum group, assign an interface to
it, and enable each upstream port on a cable interface line card. The Setup facility now supports
configuring and enabling upstream parameters.
The Setup facility supports the following functions so that cable interfaces and cable interface line cards
are fully operational after initial setup:
• Cable-specific commands
• Upstream frequency definition
For each cable interface, the following information is mandatory:
Per upstream:
cable upstream n frequency f
no cable upstream n shutdown

Options include definition of the following information:

• DHCP server address.
• Options are also provided to set downstream frequency for the upconverter per interface.
If you do not plan to use AutoInstall, do not connect the router’s WAN or LAN cable to the channel
service unit (CSU) and data service unit (DSU). If the WAN or LAN cable is connected to the CSU and
DSU and the router does not have a configuration stored in NVRAM, the router attempts to run
AutoInstall at startup.

Tip The router might take several minutes to determine that AutoInstall is not set up to a remote TCP/IP host.

When the router determines that AutoInstall is not configured, it defaults to the Setup facility. If the LAN
or WAN cable is not connected, the router boots from Flash memory and automatically runs the Setup
facility.

 Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers for the First Time
Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router Using the Setup Facility

Note The first two sections of the configuration script, the banner and the installed hardware, appear only at
initial system startup. On subsequent uses of the Setup facility, the script begins with the following
prompt.

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes

At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.
Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.

Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity

for management of the system, extended setup will ask you
to configure each interface on the system

Step 3 When asked if you want to continue with the System Configuration dialog and enter basic management
setup (displays the current interface summary), enter yes or press Return:
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes
.
.
.
Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes

The interface summary appears, showing the state of configured and unconfigured interfaces.
Step 4 Choose which protocols to support on your interfaces. For IP-only installations, you can accept the
default values for most of the questions. A typical configuration using IP follows and continues through
Step 7:
Configuring global parameters:

Enter host name [Router]: router

Step 5 Enter the enable secret password, the enable password, and the virtual terminal password:
The enable secret password is a one-way cryptographic secret
password used instead of the enable password when it exists.

Enter enable secret: ******

The enable password is used when there is no enable secret

password and when using older software and some boot images.

Enter enable password: ******

Enter virtual terminal password: ******

Step 6 The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the most widely supported open standard for
network management. SNMP provides a means to access and set configuration and run-time parameters
of routers and communication servers. SNMP also defines a set of functions that can be used to monitor
and control network elements.
Enter yes to accept SNMP management; enter no to refuse it:
Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]:
Community string [public]:

Step 7 In all cases, you will use IP routing. When you are using IP routing, select an interior routing protocol.
You can specify one of only two interior routing protocols to operate on your system using the Setup
facility, either Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) or Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

Use this configuration? [yes/no]: yes

Step 11 Save the configuration to NVRAM:

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Note You must always manually save the configuration settings to NVRAM whenever they are modified.

Configuring Upstream Frequencies with the Setup Facility

Upstream parameters must be configured manually. After the Setup facility is run, upstream ports have
a default state of “shutdown.” You have two methods to configure upstream channel frequencies:
• Configure a fixed frequency between 5 to 42 MHz for North American channel plans, and enable
the upstream port.
• Create a global spectrum group, assign the interface to it, and enable the upstream port.
The cable interface card receiver accepts time-division multiplexed burst transmissions from
cable interfaces (or CMs in set-top boxes), which are DOCSIS-based. The upstream port becomes “up”
when it is assigned an upstream frequency and is configured to be administratively up.
The upstream port is frequency-agile. The frequency can change while the interface is up and carrying
traffic, if you define spectrum groups per the example provided.

Configuring Individual Upstream Modulation Profiles

You can define individual modulation profiles. A modulation profile consists of a table of physical layer
characteristics for the different types of upstream bursts such as initial maintenance, long grant, request
data, request, short grant, and station maintenance.

Note Only qualified personnel should define upstream modulation profiles.

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

Configuring Interfaces with the Setup Facility

Follow the procedure in this section to configure WAN or LAN interfaces. To configure interface
parameters, have your interface network addresses and subnet mask information ready.

Configuring Ethernet Interfaces

Step 1 In the following example, the system is being configured for an Ethernet LAN using IP. Respond to the
prompts as follows, using your own addresses and mask at the setup prompts:
Configuring interface parameters:
Configuring interface Ethernet0/0:
Is this interface in use? [no]: yes
Configure IP on this interface? [no]: yes
IP address for this interface: 1.1.1.10
Number of bits in subnet field [0]:
Class A network is 1.0.0.0, 0 subnet bits; mask is 255.0.0.0

Step 2 Do not enable Internetwork Package Exchange (IPX) on this interface; IPX is not supported on the Cisco
uBR7200 series universal broadband router:
Configure IPX on this interface? [no]: no

Step 3 If additional Ethernet interfaces are available in your system, enter their configurations when you are
prompted.
Step 4 Save the configuration to NVRAM:
Router# copy running-config startup-config

Note You must always manually save the configuration settings to NVRAM whenever they are modified.

Configuring Synchronous Serial Interfaces

The synchronous serial interfaces are configured to allow connection to WANs through a CSU/DSU.
Complete the following steps to configure the serial ports:

Identifying the Cable Interface Line Card

Identifying Cable Modem Line Cards

The following Cisco cable interfaces can be installed in a Cisco CMTS:
• The Cisco uBR7200 series router supports one downstream modulator and one upstream
demodulator.
– The Cisco uBR7200 series router supports the following defaults: QAM-256 at 40 MBps
downstream, and QAM-16 at 5 Mbps upstream.

Cisco CMTS Router Basics

49
 Configuring the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Routers for the First Time
Configuring the Cable Interface with the Extended Setup Facility

– The card supports upstream channel widths of 200 kHz, 400 kHz, 800 kHz, 1.6 MHz, and
3.2 MHz.
– The card outputs +42 dBmV and +/- 2 dBmV.
– The downstream modulator has both an RF output, using the integrated upconverter, and an
intermediate frequency (IF) output, which must be connected to an external upconverter.

Identifying Cable Modem Line Card Slots

On the Cisco uBR7200 series router, the cable interface line card is fixed and is always slot 1. To display
information about a specific cable interface slot’s downstream channel, use the show interfaces cable
command with the CM card’s slot number and downstream port number in the following format:
show interfaces cable slot/downstream-port [downstream]

Use the slot number and downstream port number to display information about a downstream interface.
You can abbreviate the command to sh int c. The following example shows the display for upstream
channel port 0 on a Cisco uBR7200 series router:
Router# sh int c 5/0

To display information about a specific cable interface slot’s upstream channel, use the
show interfaces cable command. Include these CM card parameters:
• Slot number
• Downstream port number
• Upstream port number
Use this format:
show interfaces cable slot/downstream-port [upstream] upstream-port

Use the slot number, downstream port number, and upstream port number to display information about
an upstream interface. You can abbreviate the command to sh int c.
The following example shows the display for upstream channel port 0 in cable interface slot 3 of a
Cisco uBR7200 series router that is turned up:
Router# sh int c3/0 upstream

Configuring Global Parameters in Extended Setup

Viewing Sample Configuration Files

This section provides examples of Cisco uBR7200 series router configuration files. To view the current
configuration of a Cisco uBR7200 series router, enter the show running-config command at the
command-line interface (CLI) prompt in EXEC mode or privileged EXEC mode.

Baseline Privacy Interface Configuration Files

The Cisco uBR7200 series CMTS supports 56-bit and 40-bit encryption and decryption; 56 bit is the
default. After you choose a CMTS image that supports Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI), BPI is enabled
by default for the Cisco uBR7200 series CMTS. Key commands that appear in the
Cisco uBR7200 series router configuration file that denote that encryption and decryption are supported
include:
• int cable 5/0
• cable privacy kek grace-time 800
• cable privacy kek life-time 750000
• cable privacy tek grace-time 800
• cable privacy tek life-time 56000
• cable privacy enable
• cable privacy mandatory

Note The cable interface must also support encryption and decryption.

When Baseline Privacy is enabled, the Cisco uBR7200 series router routes encrypted and decrypted
packets from a host or peer to another host or peer. BPI is configured with key encryption keys (KEKs)
and traffic encryption keys (TEKs). A KEK is assigned to a CM, based on the CM’s service identifier
(SID), and permits the CM to connect to the Cisco uBR7200 series router when Baseline Privacy is
activated. The TEK is assigned to a CM when its KEK has been established. The TEK is used to encrypt
data traffic between the CM and the Cisco uBR7200 series router.
KEKS and TEKs can be set for Baseline Privacy on the HFC network to expire based on a grace-time
or a life-time value, defined in seconds. A grace-time value assigns a temporary key to a CM to access
the network. A life-time value assigns a more permanent key to a CM. Each CM that has a life-time
value assigned requests a new lifetime key from the Cisco uBR7200 series router before the current one
expires.
To set the duration in seconds for KEK or TEK grace-time or life-time, use the following commands
in global configuration mode. To restore the default values, use the no form of each command.
cable privacy kek {grace-time [seconds] | life-time [seconds]}
no cable privacy kek {grace-time | life-time}

cable privacy tek {grace-time [seconds] | life-time [seconds]}

no cable privacy tek {grace-time | life-time}

Tip Use the show cable modem command to identify a CM with encryption and decryption enabled. The
online(pk) output of this command reveals a CM that is registered with BPI enabled and a KEK assigned.
The online(pt) output reveals a CM that is registered with BPI enabled and a TEK assigned.

Should you want to change the Cisco uBR7200 series default of 56-bit encryption and decryption to
40-bit, use the “40 bit DES” option:
Router(config-if)# cable privacy ?
40-bit-des select 40 bit DES
^^^^^^^^^^
authenticate-modem turn on BPI modem authentication
authorize-multicast turn on BPI multicast authorization
kek KEK Key Parms
mandatory force privacy be mandatory
tek TEK Key Parms

Software then generates a 40-bit DES key, where the DES key that is generated and returned masks the
first 16 bits of the 56-bit key to zero in software. To return to 56-bit encryption and decryption after
changing to 40-bit, enter the no command in front of the “40 bit des” option.

 Performing OIR of Cable Interface Line Cards on
the Cisco CMTS Routers

First Published: February 14, 2008

Last Updated: February 9, 2009

The Cisco uBR7200 series and Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband routers support online insertion
and removal (OIR) of cable interface line cards, but have different requirements. The following sections
describe this support for each of the platforms.

Finding Feature Information

Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature
information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco IOS, Catalyst OS,
and Cisco IOS XE software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to
http://www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.

OIR of Cable Interface Line Cards on the Cisco uBR7200 Series

Universal Broadband Routers
Technically, the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers support true online insertion and
removal (OIR), or "hot swapping," of cable interface line cards only when exchanging cable interface
line cards of the exact same type (for example, exchanging a Cisco uBR-MC28U card for another Cisco
uBR-MC28U card). Under these conditions, no reload of the router is required.

Caution When you OIR different types of cable interface line cards (for example, a Cisco uBR-MC16U card
replaced by a Cisco uBR-MC16X card, or Cisco uBR-MC16U card replaced by a Cisco uBR-MC28U
card), you not only might have to reconfigure the interfaces, we recommend that you reload the router.

 Performing OIR of Cable Interface Line Cards on the Cisco CMTS Routers
OIR of Cable Interface Line Cards on the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router

OIR of Cable Interface Line Cards on the Cisco uBR10012

Universal Broadband Router
To perform an OIR of cable interface line cards on the Cisco uBR10012 router, do the following steps:

Step 1 From global configuration mode, enter the cr10k card oir-compatibility command for the cable
interface line card that you want to OIR, as shown in the following example:
Router(config)# cr10k card 8/0 oir-compatibility

This command helps preserve the configuration and performs some internal synchronization to make
sure that the OIR runs successfully.

Note The console log displays a new message appears whenever a line card type has been replaced. For
example, if the MC520U-D in subslot 8/1 is replaced by an MC520S-D, the following message is
displayed:
%UBR10K-6-COMPAT_NEW_CARD: The 5cable-mc520u-d in slot 8/1 has been replaced by a
5cable-mc520s-d
This message appears when an OIR operation involves two different types of MC520 line cards.

Caution The console log message does not appear for cards other than the MC520S/U/H. It also does not appear
if the OIR operation involves identical MC520 card types. For instance, it will not appear if an MC520U
is replaced by another MC520U. In such cases, you not only might have to reconfigure the interfaces,
we recommend that you reload the router.

Step 2 Save the configuration to ensure the transition, as shown in the following example:
Router# copy running-config startup-config

Step 3 Turn the power off to the line card using the cable power off command for the slot that is being replaced
as shown in the following example:
Router# cable power off 8/0
Line Card 8/0 is POWERED OFF

This powers off the line card gracefully.

Step 4 Before removing the card, verify that the proper grounding instructions have been followed for the card.
For more information about preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, refer to the document at:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/109/cable-linecard-handling.pdf
Step 5 Remove the line card.
Step 6 Replace it with the new line card in the slot.
Step 7 Enter the cable power on command to power up the line card, as shown in the following example:
Router# cable power on 8/0

Step 8 Enter the show interface cable command and verify that the card and line protocol is “up” as shown in
the following example:
Router# show interface cable 8/0/0
Cable8/0/0 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is BCM3210 ASIC, address is 000a.13e8.1ca8 (bia 000a.13e8.1a60)

 Unique Device Identifier Retrieval for the Cisco
CMTS

First Publised: February 14, 2008

Last Updated: February 9, 2009

The Unique Device Identifier Retrieval (UDI retrieval) feature provides the ability to retrieve and display
the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) information from any Cisco product that has electronically stored
such identity information.
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 12.3BC. In general, any references to Cisco IOS
Release 12.3BC also apply to Cisco IOS Release 12.2SC.

 Unique Device Identifier Retrieval for the Cisco CMTS
Prerequisites for Unique Device Identifier Retrieval

Prerequisites for Unique Device Identifier Retrieval

In order to use UDI retrieval, the Cisco product in use must be UDI-enabled. A UDI-enabled Cisco
product supports five required Entity MIB objects. The five Entity MIB v2 (RFC-2737) objects are as
follows:
• entPhysicalName
• entPhysicalDescr
• entPhysicalModelName
• entPhysicalHardwareRev
• entPhysicalSerialNum
Although the show inventory command may be available, using that command on devices that are not
UDI-enabled will likely produce no output.

Information About Unique Device Identifier Retrieval

Before using the UDI Retrieval feature, you should understand the following concepts:
• Unique Device Identifier Overview, page 62
• Benefits of the Unique Device Identifier Retrieval Feature, page 63
• Product Item Descriptor (PID) for Cable Products, page 63

Unique Device Identifier Overview

Each identifiable product is an entity, as defined by the Entity MIB (RFC-2737) and its supporting
documents. Some entities, such as a chassis, will have subentities like slots. An Ethernet switch might
be a member of a superentity like a stack. Most Cisco entities that are orderable products will leave the
factory with an assigned UDI. The UDI information is printed on a label that is affixed to the physical
hardware device, and it is also stored electronically on the device in order to facilitate remote retrieval.
A UDI consists of the following elements:
• Product identifier (PID)
• Version identifier (VID)
• Serial number (SN)
The PID is the name by which the product can be ordered; it has been historically called the “Product
Name” or “Part Number.” This is the identifier that one would use to order an exact replacement part.
The VID is the version of the product. Whenever a product has been revised, the VID will be
incremented. The VID is incremented according to a rigorous process derived from Telcordia
GR-209-CORE, an industry guideline that governs product change notices.
The SN is the vendor-unique serialization of the product. Each manufactured product will carry a unique
serial number assigned at the factory, which cannot be changed in the field. This is the means by which
to identify an individual, specific instance of a product.

How to Retrieve the Unique Device Identifier

Benefits of the Unique Device Identifier Retrieval Feature

• Identifies individual Cisco products in your networks.
• Reduces operating expenses for asset management through simple, cross-platform, consistent
identification of Cisco products.
• Identifies PIDs for replaceable products.
• Facilitates discovery of products subject to recall or revision.
• Automates Cisco product inventory (capital and asset management).
• Provides a mechanism to determine the entitlement level of a Cisco product for repair and
replacement service.

Restrictions for Advanced-Mode DSG Issue 1.2

This section contains restrictions that are specific to A-DSG 1.2 on a Cisco CMTS router.
• DSG Configuration File Transfer Operations, page 3
• Multicast Configuration Restrictions, page 3
• NAT for DSG Unicast-only Mapping, page 4
• PIM and SSM for Multicast, page 4

DSG Configuration File Transfer Operations

DSG 1.2 does not support the copying of a DSG configuration file from a TFTP server, file system, or
bootflash to the running configuration.
Previously, with DSG 1.1, when copying the DSG configuration file from a file system or TFTP server
to the running configuration, DSG rule error checking may disable a previously configured and valid
DSG tunnel configuration. This issue has not been observed in DSG 1.1 when loading the DSG
configuration file from the startup configuration, as during a reload.

Multicast Configuration Restrictions

As with earlier versions of DSG Issues 0.9 and 1.0, IP multicasting must be configured for correct
operation of A-DSG 1.2. Specifically, IP multicast routing must be set in global configuration. Also, IP
PIM must be configured on all bundle interfaces of cable interfaces that are to carry multicast traffic.
See the “Configuring the Default Multicast Quality of Service” section on page 7 and the “Configuring
IP Multicast Operations” section on page 18 for additional Multicast information and global
configurations supporting DSG.

Cisco CMTS Router Service Features Configuration Guide

 Advanced-Mode DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway 1.2 for the Cisco CMTS Routers
Information About Advanced-Mode DSG Issue 1.2

NAT for DSG Unicast-only Mapping

A-DSG 1.2 supports multicast IP addressing. However, it also supports unicast IP destination addresses.
On the Cisco uBR7246VXR router, DSG 1.2 support is provided with the configuration of Network
Address Translation (NAT) on the router, to include these settings:
• WAN interface(s) are configured with the ip nat outside command.
• Cable interface(s) are configured with the ip nat inside command.
• For each mapping, additional configuration includes the source static multicast IP address and the
unicast IP address.
The unicast IP address is the unicast destination IP address of the DSG packets arriving at the Cisco
CMTS router. The multicast IP address is the new destination IP address that is configured to map to one
or a set of DSG tunnels.

PIM and SSM for Multicast

When using Source Specific Multicast (SSM) operation in conjunction with A-DSG 1.2, the following
system-wide configuration command must be specified:
• ip pim ssm
Refer to the “Configuring IP Multicast Operations” section on page 18.

Subinterfaces
A-DSG 1.2 supports subinterfaces on the Cisco CMTS router starting from Cisco IOS Release
12.2(33)SCB4.

Information About Advanced-Mode DSG Issue 1.2

A-DSG 1.2 offers substantial upgrades over A-DSG 1.1 and earlier basic DSG on the Cisco CMTS
router. A-DSG 1.2 offers these new or enhanced capabilities:
• A-DSG client and agent modes
• Advanced-mode MIBs supporting DSG 1.2, including the DOCS-DSG-IF-MIB
• Advanced-mode tunnels with increased security
• Cable interface bundling through virtual interface bundling
• Downstream Channel Descriptor
• IP multicast support
• Quality of Service (QoS)

DSG 1.2 Clients and Agents

A-DSG 1.2 supports the DSG client and agent functions outlined by the CableLabs™ DOCSIS Set-top
Gateway (DSG) Interface Specification, CM-SP-DSG-I05-050812.

Cisco CMTS Router Service Features Configuration Guide

 Advanced-Mode DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway 1.2 for the Cisco CMTS Routers
Information About Advanced-Mode DSG Issue 1.2

FQDN Support
Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCG, you can specify either a fully-qualified domain name
(FQDN) or IP address for A-DSG classifier multicast group and source addresses using the cable dsg cfr
command in global configuration mode. We recommend that you use an FQDN to avoid modification of
multicast group and source addresses when network changes are implemented.
This feature allows you to use a hostname (FQDN) in place of the source IP address using the
cable dsg cfr command. For example, you have two A-DSG tunnel servers, in two locations, sending
multicast traffic to the same multicast address. In this scenario, you can specify a hostname for the source
IP address and let the DNS server determine which source is sending the multicast traffic.
If you configure an A-DSG classifier with a hostname, the Cisco CMTS router immediately verifies if
the hostname can be resolved against an IP address using the local host cache. If not, the router does not
enable the classifier until the hostname is resolved. If the hostname cannot be resolved locally, the router
performs a DNS query to verify the DSG classifiers.
The FQDN format does not support static Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) join requests
initiated on the Cisco CMTS router. The IGMP static group IP address created automatically under a
bundle interface at the time of A-DSG configuration is not displayed in the
show running-config interface command output in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCG and later. To
display the A-DSG static groups configured under a bundle interface, use the
show cable dsg static-group bundle command in privileged EXEC mode in
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCG and later.

DSG Name Process and DNS Query

Every DNS record contains a time to live (TTL) value set by the server administrator, and this may vary
from seconds to weeks. The DSG name process supersedes the TTL value criterion to update A-DSG
classifiers on the Cisco CMTS router.
The DSG name process enables the Cisco CMTS router to query the DNS server for faster classifier
updates. To enable the Cisco CMTS router to perform a DNS query for an A-DSG classifier verification,
you must configure one or more DNS servers using the ip name-server command in global
configuration mode. You can also specify the DNS query interval using the
cable dsg name-update-interval command in global configuration mode.
During a Cisco IOS software reload or a route processor switchover, the router may fail to query the DNS
server if the interfaces are down, and the router may not wait for the interval specified using the
cable dsg name-update-interval command to perform a DNS query. In this case, for an unresolved
hostname, the router automatically performs a DNS query based on a system-defined (15 seconds)
interval to facilitate faster DSG classifier updates. You cannot change the system-defined interval.

A-DSG Forwarding on the Primary Channel

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCF and earlier, DSG tunnels are configured globally and applied to all
MAC domain interfaces. This automatically creates DSG tunnels for all primary capable interfaces
associated with the MAC domain interfaces.
In Cisco IOS Releases earlier to 12.2(33)SCG, you cannot exclude A-DSG forwarding per primary
capable interface. However, you can disable A-DSG forwarding for the entire MAC domain by using the
no form of the cable dsg tg command.

Cisco CMTS Router Service Features Configuration Guide

5
 Advanced-Mode DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway 1.2 for the Cisco CMTS Routers
Information About Advanced-Mode DSG Issue 1.2

Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCG, you can disable A-DSG forwarding per primary capable
interface using the cable downstream dsg disable command in interface configuration mode. Primary
capable interfaces include modular, integrated cable interfaces, and Cisco uBR10-MC5X20 and
Cisco uBR-MC28U cable interfaces.
For example, assume the cable interface 7/1/1 has A-DSG enabled and has four modular channels
attached to it. However, you want A-DSG forwarding enabled only on two of these four modular
channels. You can exclude the channels of your choice using the cable downstream dsg disable
command. For details on how to disable modular channels, see the “Disabling A-DSG Forwarding on
the Primary Channel” section on page 28.

Note If A-DSG downstream forwarding is disabled on a primary capable interface, the router does not create
multicast service flows on the primary capable interface and stops sending Downstream Channel
Descriptor (DCD) messages.

DOCSIS 3.0 DSG MDF Support

Support for DOCSIS 3.0 DSG Multicast DSID Forwarding (MDF) is introduced in Cisco IOS Release
12.2(33)SCG using DSG DA-to-DSID Association Entry type, length, value (TLV 13) in the MAC
domain descriptor (MDD) message to communicate the association between a downstream service
identifier (DSID) and a group MAC address used for DSG tunnel traffic. This is automatically supported
on the Cisco CMTS router.
DOCSIS 2.0 hybrid CMs and DOCSIS 3.0 CMs use Dynamic Bonding Change (DBC) to get DSID
information from the Cisco CMTS router, whereas DOCSIS 2.0 DSG hybrid embedded CMs and
DOCSIS 3.0 DSG embedded CMs get DSID information from the Cisco CMTS router through MDD
messages.
To disable MDF capability on all DSG embedded cable modems, including DOCSIS 3.0 DSG and
DOCSIS 2.0 DSG hybrid modems, use the cable multicast mdf-disable command with the dsg
keyword in global configuration mode.

Source Specific Multicast Mapping

Source Specific Multicast (SSM) is a datagram delivery model that best supports one-to-many
applications, also known as broadcast applications. SSM is a core networking technology for the Cisco
implementation of IP multicast solutions targeted for audio and video broadcast application
environments.
The following two Cisco IOS components together support the implementation of SSM:
• Protocol Independent Multicast source-specific mode (PIM-SSM)
• Internet Group Management Protocol Version 3 (IGMPv3)
Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCG, SSM mapping can be configured on Cisco CMTS
routers.
For details on how to configure SSM mapping on a Cisco CMTS router, see the Source Specific
Multicast (SSM) Mapping feature guide.

How to Configure Advanced-Mode DSG Issue 1.2

Advanced-mode DSG Issue 1.2 entails support for DSG tunnel configuration, to include global,
WAN-side, and interface-level settings in support of Multicast.

• Configuring a Standard IP Access List for Multicast Group Filtering, page 26 (optional)
• Disabling A-DSG Forwarding on the Primary Channel, page 28 (optional)

Configuring the Default Multicast Quality of Service

According to DOCSIS 3.0, you must configure the default multicast quality of service (MQoS) when
using the MQoS. This also applies to the DSG, which uses the MQoS by associating a service class name
with the tunnel.
If the default MQoS is not configured, the DSG tunnel service class configuration is rejected. Similarly,
if no DSG tunnel uses the MQoS, you are prompted to remove the default MQoS.
The CMTS selects the primary downstream channel to forward the multicast traffic when the default
MQoS is configured and there is no matching MQoS group configuration. Otherwise, the wideband
interface is used to forward the multicast traffic.

Configuring Global Tunnel Group Settings for Advanced-Mode DSG 1.2

This procedure configures global and interface-level commands on the Cisco CMTS router to enable
DSG tunnel groups. A DSG tunnel group is used to bundle some DSG channels together and associate
them to a MAC domain interface.

Global A-DSG 1.2 Tunnel Settings

This procedure sets and enables global configurations to support both A-DSG 1.2 clients and agents.
Additional procedures provide additional settings for these clients and agents.

Prerequisites
Starting with the Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCC1, when DOCSIS Set-top Gateway (DSG) is
configured to have quality of service (QoS) for tunnel, ensure that the default multicast QoS (MQoS) is
also configured. For more information, see Configuring the Default Multicast Quality of Service, page 7.

Configuring NAT to Support Unicast Messaging

This section describes how to configure a Cisco CMTS router for Network Address Translation (NAT)
to enable the use of IP unicast addresses for DSG messaging. This allows the Cisco CMTS router to
translate incoming IP unicast addresses into the appropriate IP multicast address for the DSG traffic.
For the Cisco uBR10012 router, A-DSG 1.2 can use an external router that is close to the Cisco CMTS
to support unicast messaging. In this case, the nearby router must support NAT, and then send the
address-translated multicast IP packets to the Cisco CMTS.

Tip This procedure should be performed after the cable interface has already been configured for DSG
operations, as described in the “Configuration Examples for Advanced-Mode DSG” section on page 41.

Note The Cisco CMTS router supports NAT only when it is running an “IP Plus” (-i-) Cisco IOS software
image. Refer to the release notes for your Cisco IOS release for complete image availability and
requirements.

Configuring a Standard IP Access List for Packet Filtering

This section describes how to configure a standard IP access list so that only authorized traffic is allowed
on the cable interface.

Tip This procedure assumes a basic knowledge of how access lists use an IP address and bitmask to
determine the range of IP addresses that are allowed access. For full details on configuring access lists,
see the documents listed in the “Additional References” section on page 45.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. configure terminal
2. access-list access-list permit group-ip-address [mask]
3. access-list access-list deny group-ip-address [mask]
4. access-list access-list deny any
5. interface bundle bundle-number
6. ip access-group access-list
7. end

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action Purpose

Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.

Example:
Router# configure terminal
Step 2 access-list access-list permit group-ip-address Creates an access list specifying that permits access to the
[mask] specific multicast address that matches the specified
group-ip-address and mask.
Example: • access-list—Number or name of a standard IP access
Router(config)# access-list 90 permit 228.1.1.1 list. The number can range from 1 to 99 with no default.
• group-ip-address—IP address to be used as a base for
this access list. It should be based on the group IP
address used for DSG tunnels of the interface.
• mask—(Optional) Bitmask that determines which
addresses in the group-ip-address will be allowed
access. The default is 255.255.255.255.

Step 3 access-list access-list deny group-ip-address Configures the access list that denies access to any multicast
[mask] address that matches the specified group-ip-address and
mask.
Example: • access-list—Number or name of a standard IP access
Router(config)# access-list 90 deny 224.0.0.0 list. The number can range from 1 to 99 with no default.
15.255.255.255
• group-ip-address—IP address to be used as a base for
this access list. It should be based on the group IP
address used for the interface’s DSG tunnels.
• mask—(Optional) Bitmask that determines which
addresses in the group-ip-address will be allowed
access. The default is 255.255.255.255.
Step 4 access-list access-list deny any Configures the access list so that it denies access to any IP
addresses other than the ones previously configured.
Example:
Router(config)# access-list 90 deny any
Step 5 interface bundle bundle-number Enters interface configuration mode for the specified
interface bundle.
Example:
Router(config)# interface bundle 10
Step 6 ip access-group access-list (Optional, but recommended) Configures the interface with
the access list, so that packets are filtered by the list before
being accepted on the interface.
Example:
Router(config-if)# ip access-group 90 • access-list—Number or name of a standard IP access
list. The number can range from 1 to 99 and should be
the same list created in Step 3.
Note Standard Access lists only allow one address to be
specified in the earlier step. If you apply an
outbound access-list with only the multicast address
of the tunnel denied, then the DSG traffic is not
allowed to pass.

Note On the Cisco uBR10012 router, inbound access lists

on the cable interface do not apply to multicast
traffic, so they do not apply here. As a result, the
Cisco uBR10012 requires that you use extended
access lists that are blocked in the outbound
direction for packets originating from the cable
modem or CPE device on the network, and destined
to the multicast group. The multicast group contains
the classifiers associated with A-DSG 1.1 rules
enabled on the interface.
Step 7 end Exits interface configuration mode and returns to Privileged
EXEC mode.
Example:
Router(config-if)# end

 Call Home Feature for the Cisco CMTS Routers

First Published: November 29, 2010

Note Use this document in conjunction with the Configuring Call Home for Cisco 7200 Series Routers feature
guide.

For Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCE, the Call Home feature provides a mechanism to automatically
create cases and update Cisco, customer, or a partner about events and changes on a Cisco device in a
customer network. This feature provides e-mail and web-based notification of critical system events.
Multiple message formats are available for optimum compatibility with pager services, e-mail, or
XML-based automated parsing applications. Common uses of this feature include paging a network
support engineer, sending an e-mail notification to a Network Operations Center, XML-based message
delivery to a support website, and generating a direct case with the Cisco Systems Technical Assistance
Center (TAC).
For more information, see the Configuring Call Home for Cisco 7200 Series Routers feature guide.

Information About the Call Home Feature for the Cisco CMTS
Routers
The Call Home feature provides a reactive support mode of operation triggered by various system events
on a Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. This feature also supports a proactive support mode
where configuration and inventory change messages are automatically reported to a destination target
specified in the system profile.
You can specify a Call Home Server on the Cisco network as a destination target.
The Call Home functionality in a Cisco device is provided by one or more network devices or through
an appliance, such as the Smart Call Home server. Each system event provides a set of call home triggers
required for reactive mode situations, for example, hardware failures.
The Call Home function can leverage Cisco, customer, or a partner support. Flexible message delivery
and format options allow for easy integration of specific support requirements into the Call Home and
Call Home Server.
For more information on setting up and configuring this feature, see the Configuring Call Home for
Cisco 7200 Series Routers feature guide.
