Chapter 3 Configuring Cable Interface Features for the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Configuring the Downstream Cable Interface
Activating Downstream Ports
To activate a downstream port on a Cisco uBR10000 series cable interface card for digital data
transmissions over the HFC network, complete the steps in the following table.
Verifying the Downstream Ports
To determine if the downstream carrier is active (up), enter the
show controllers cable
command for the
downstream port that you just configured. For National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) 6 MHz
operations, see the following example:
Router#
show controllers cable5/0/0 downstream
Cable5/0/0 Downstream is up
Frequency=96000000, Channel Width 6 MHz, 64-QAM, Symbol Rate 5.056941 Msps
FEC ITU-T J.83 Annex B, R/S Interleave I=32, J=4
Command
Purpose
Step 1
Router>
enable
Password:
password
Router#
Enters enable (privileged EXEC) mode.
Enter the password.
You have entered privileged EXEC mode when the
prompt displays the pound symbol
(#)
.
Step 2
Router#
configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with
CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Enters global configuration mode. You have entered
global configuration mode when the
(config)#
prompt appears.
This command can be abbreviated to
config t
or
conf
t
.
Step 3
Router(config)#
interface cable5/0/0
Router(config-if)#
Enters cable interface configuration mode.
In this example, the interface is downstream port 0
on the cable interface card installed in slot 1 of the
Cisco uBR10000 series CMTS.
Step 4
Router(config-if)# cable downstream if-output
Router(config-if)# no cable downstream if-output
Default. Activates downstream digital data from the
Cisco uBR10012 router.
Deactivates downstream digital data. This command
mutes the IF output of the cable interface card and
shuts down the interfaces.
Step 5
Router(config-if)#
no shutdown
Places the downstream port in the “admin up” state.
Step 6
Router(config-if)#
end
Router#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
