Troubleshooting Tips for the Cisco uBR904 Cable Modem 57
Figure 9 compares the output of the debug cable-modem mac log command with the debug
cable-modem mac log verbose command. The verbose keyword displays periodic events such as
ranging.

Figure 10 shows display output for the debug cable mac messages command. This command causes
received cable MAC management messages to be displayed in a verbose format. The messages that
are displayed are UCD, MAP, RNG-RSP, REG-RSP and UCC. In addition, transmitted REG-REQs
are displayed in hex dump format. The output from this command is very verbose and is usually not
needed for normal interface debugging. The command is most useful when attempting to attach a
cable modem to an uncertified CMTS. For a description of the displayed fields of each message,
refer to the MCNS DOCSIS RFI spec, v1.0.
