Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Software Configuration Guide

OL-1520-05

Chapter 2      Configuring the Cable Modem Termination System for the First Time

Configuring the Cable Interface with the Extended Setup Facility

Step 9

Repeat Step 8 for each upstream port on the cable interface line card.

Step 10

Activate the upstream port:

Router(config-int)# 

no cable upstream 

port

 

shutdown 

Step 11

Repeat Step 10 to activate each port used on your cable interface line card.

Step 12

Exit to return to the configuration mode:

Router(config-if)# 

exit

 

Router(config)# 

Step 13

Enter the next interface to configure, following Step 6 through Step 12, or type 

exit

 to return to enable 

mode.

Router(config)# 

exit

 

Router# 

%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console# 

Step 14

Save the configuration to NVRAM:

Router# 

copy running-config startup-config

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.
