Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco uBR7200 Series Software
Supported Software Features for the Cisco uBR7200 Series
To display the Type/Length/Value (TLV) encodings parsed by the DOCSIS 1.1 TLV parser/encoder, use
the
debug cable tlvs
command in privileged EXEC mode. The
no
form of this command disables
debugging output.

UpstreamAddress Verification
This feature prevents the spoofing of IP addresses. Using the CLI, administrators can determine the IP
and MAC address of a given cable interface, and the SID number that shows the IP and MAC addresses
of all devices learned in the cable interface’s MAC table.
The CMTS verifies the source IP address against the MAC address for the cable modem. Cable modem
and PC IP addresses are verified to ensure that SID and MAC addresses are consistent. A PC behind a
cable interface is assigned an IP address from the DHCP server. If a user on a second PC or cable
interface statically assigns the same IP address to a PC, the Cisco uBR7200 series CMTS reports this.
Using customer databases, administrators can cross-reference the spoofing cable modem and PC to
prevent further usage.
The
cable source-verify
[
dhcp
] command (for cable interfaces) specifies that DHCP lease query requests are
sent to verify any unknown source IP address found in upstream data packets. Upstream Address Verification
requires a DHCP server that supports the new LEASEQUERY message type.
Cisco Network Registrar
supports the LEASEQUERY message type in Cisco IOS Release 3.01(T) and later releases.

“Activating Cable Modem Upstream Address Verification”

Upstream QoS Improvements
Supported QoS models for the upstream are:
•
Best-effort—Data traffic sent on a non-guaranteed best-effort basis.
•
Committed information rate (CIR)—Guaranteed minimum bandwidth for data traffic.
•
Unsolicited grants (UGS)—Constant bit rate (CBR) traffic, such as voice, that is characterized by
fixed size packets at fixed intervals.
•
Unsolicited grants with activity detection (USG-AD)—Combination of UGS and RTPS, to
accommodate real time traffic that might have periods of inactivity (such as voice using silence
suppression). The service flow uses UGS fixed grants while active, but switches to RTPS polling
during periods of inactivity to avoid wasting unused bandwidth.

Broadband Routers
