Chapter 8      Troubleshooting the System

Using Cable Interface debug Commands

When this command is activated, messages generated when channels are allocated to cable interfaces on 
the HFC network are displayed on the Cisco uBR10000 series router console. 

debug cable transmit (for CMTS Transmissions)

To activate the debugging of transmissions from the Cisco uBR10000 series router across the HFC 
network, use the 

debug cable transmit

 command in privileged EXEC mode. To deactivate debugging 

of cable transmissions, use the 

no

 form of this command. 

debug cable transmit

no debug cable transmit

When this command is activated, messages generated at the headend are displayed on the 

Cisco uBR10000 series router console. 

debug cable ucc (for Upstream Channel Change Messages)

To activate the debugging of upstream channel change (UCC) messages generated when cable interfaces 
request or are assigned a new channel, use the 

debug cable ucc 

command in privileged EXEC mode. To 

deactivate debugging of cable upstream channel changes, use the 

no

 form of this command.

debug cable ucc

no debug cable ucc

When this command is activated, messages related to upstream channel changes are displayed on the 
Cisco uBR10000 series router console. 

debug cable ucd (for Upstream Channel Description Messages)

To activate the debugging of upstream channel descriptor (UCD) messages, use the 

debug cable ucd 

command in privileged EXEC mode. To deactivate debugging of cable upstream channel descriptor, use 
the 

no

 form of this command:

debug cable ucd

no debug cable ucd

UCD messages contain information about upstream channel characteristics and are sent to the 
cable modems on the HFC network. CMs that are configured to use enhanced upstream channels use 
these UCD messages to identify and select an enhanced upstream channel to use. When this command 
is activated, messages related to upstream channel descriptors are displayed on the 
Cisco uBR10000 series router console.
