Overview of Cisco uBR7200 Series Software

The Cisco uBR7200 series uses Cisco IOS® software to offer enhanced stability, features, performance 
and investment protection. This chapter summarizes system and software features of the Cisco uBR7200 
series Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). This chapter contains the following sections:

Section

Purpose

“Cisco IOS Releases and Images for the 
Cisco uBR7200 Series,”

 page 2

Describes the supported Cisco IOS release trains, associated 
features, and latest Cisco IOS images for each recently 
supported train.

One early step in CMTS feature configuration is to verify 
your Cisco IOS release train, the associated image and 
feature set. This section guides you in determining such 
information.

“Cisco uBR7200 Series Chassis 
Overview,”

 page 8

Describes the Cisco uBR7200 series routers, and their 
supported hardware features and interoperability.

“Cisco uBR7200 Series Router 
Configuration Overview,”

 page 15

Provides an overview of the hardware and interfaces that 
typically require configuration through Cisco IOS software.

“Supported Software Features for the 
Cisco uBR7200 Series,”

 page 22

Describes the features and configuration utilities that are 
available on the Cisco uBR7200 series.

“DOCSIS and CMTS Interoperability,”

 

page 137

Provides an overview of DOCSIS NTSC and EuroDOCSIS 
cable plants, DOCSIS-compliant signals, and traffic 
engineering.
