Configuring the Cisco uBR10012 Router Manually Using
Configuration Mode
You can configure the Cisco uBR10012 router manually if you prefer not to use the Setup facility or
AutoInstall. Complete the following steps:
Step 1
Connect a console terminal to the console port on the I/O controller.
Step 2
When asked if you want to enter the initial dialog, answer
no
to go into the normal operating mode of
the router:
Would you like to enter the initial dialog? [yes]:
no
Step 3
After a few seconds, the user EXEC prompt
(Router>)
appears. Type
enable
to enter enable mode
(configuration changes can be made only in enable mode):
Router>
enable
The prompt changes to the enable mode (also called privileged EXEC) prompt:
Router#
Step 4
Enter the
configure terminal
command at the enable prompt to enter configuration mode from the
terminal:
Router#
configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Tip
To see a list of the configuration commands available to you, enter
?
at the prompt or type
help
while
in configuration mode.
Step 5
At the
Router(config)#
prompt, enter the
interface
type
slot/port
command to enter the interface
configuration mode:
Router(config)#
interface cable
slot/port
Router(config-if)#
Step 6
Set the downstream center frequency to reflect the digital carrier frequency of the downstream RF carrier
(the channel) for the downstream port:
Router(config-int)#
cable downstream frequency
down-freq-hz
Note
This command has no effect on the external upconverter. It is informational only.
Step 7
Activate the downstream port on the cable interface line card to support digital data transmission over
the hybrid fiber-coaxial network:
Router(config-int)#
no shutdown
Step 8
Enter the fixed center frequency in Hz for your downstream RF carrier and the port number:
Router(config-int)#
cable upstream
port
frequency
up-freq-hz
Note
Be sure not to select an upstream frequency that interferes with that used for any other
upstream application in your cable plant.
