The following is a typical display of the MAC error log information, which is the same information that
is also available using SNMP:
Router#

74374.660 R02.0 No Ranging Response received. T3 time-out.

Router#
This output indicates that the router acquired a downstream lock, successfully read a UCD, and
successfully read a MAP. However, it was unable to communicate with the CMTS after ranging through
all upstream transmit power levels. The router will try to communicate with the CMTS 16 times, and if
cannot receive a response from the CMTS, it will reset the cable interface to try to find a better
downstream frequency.
The
show controllers cable-modem 0 mac resets
command shows only the entries in the MAC log that
begin with the field
CMAC_LOG_RESET
. These fields provide you with a summary of the most recent reasons
why the cable interface was reset.
Reset messages and brief explanations are included in the following examples. However, the reset
messages do not commonly occur.
The following example shows the errors that are logged when the configuration file downloaded from
the TFTP server could not be read, typically because the file might not exist, or because the file might
have incorrect permissions.
