Cisco uBR7225VXR Overview

This chapter describes the Cisco uBR7225VXR universal broadband router and contains the following sections:

• Cisco uBR7225VXR Universal Broadband Router, page 1-1

Cisco uBR7225VXR Universal Broadband Router

The Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers, part of the Cisco Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) solution, allows high-speed data services to be packaged similar to basic cable television service or video fare.

The router is based on Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) and supports data and packetized voice connectivity over a bidirectional cable television and IP backbone network. The Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers typically concentrates traffic from DOCSIS- or EuroDOCSIS-based cable interfaces and cable modems (or set-top boxes with integrated DOCSIS or EuroDOCSIS cable modems) on the cable television network and presents that traffic to local and remote IP hosts. For cable plants not fully upgraded to support two-way cable transmission, the router works in conjunction with dial-up access products to support upstream traffic from DOCSIS-based cable interfaces connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The router supports both 6-MHz North American channel plans using ITU-T J.83 Annex B operation and 8-MHz Phase Alternating Line (PAL) and SEquential Couleur Avec Memoire (SECAM) channel plans using ITU-T J.83 Annex A operation.

The Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers contains some or all of the following:

• Cable interface line cards that interface to the cable television network. The Cisco uBR7225VXR

card set includes varying upstream-to-downstream interface ratios with differing bandwidth and modulation schemes supported, as well as the capability to dynamically perform complex spectrum management and operate in a 6-MHz or 8-MHz channel width environment. See the “Cisco Cable Interface Line Cards” section on page 1-12.

• One network processing engine (NPE) that performs system management functions for the chassis.

See the “Network Processing Engine” section on page 1-10.

• The Cisco uBR7225VXR router supports an optional redundant power supply. See the “Power

Supplies” section on page 1-13.

OL-17309-02

Cisco uBR7225VXR Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide

Cisco uBR7225VXR Universal Broadband Router

• A midplane that serves as the interconnect between the cable interface line cards and the other

components of the system. See the “Subchassis and Midplane” section on page 1-17.

• A fan tray, enclosing internal fans that draw cooling air into the chassis to maintain an acceptable

operating temperature. See the “Fan Trays” section on page 1-14.

The cable interface cards, NPE, and power supplies slide into their respective chassis slots and connect directly to the router midplane. There are no internal cables to connect. The midplane distributes power from the power supplies to the cable interface cards, fan tray, and NPE.

The Cisco uBR7225VXR universal broadband router may be installed on a tabletop or rack-mounted. A rack-mount kit ships with each router. The rack-mount kit includes the hardware needed to mount the router in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or telco-type rack.

The Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers supports:

• Environmental monitoring and reporting functions to resolve adverse environmental conditions

before loss of operation.

• Online insertion and removal (OIR), allowing key system components to be added or removed

without powering off the chassis.

Chapter 1 Cisco uBR7225VXR Overview

Caution You can remove and replace a cable interface line card with the same type of component without

interrupting the rest of the system or having to reconfigure the system. However, to replace a cable interface line card with a different type of card (for example, hot swapping from a Cisco uBR-MC16U cable interface line card to a Cisco uBR-MC28U cable interface line card), you must copy your startup configuration to your running configuration on the Cisco uBR7225VXR router to enable the interfaces on the new cable interface line card.

Caution The NPE does not support OIR. You must power down the chassis before removing the NPE.

Cisco uBR7225VXR Router Chassis

The Cisco uBR7225VXR router chassis has:

• Two slots for cable interface cards

• One slot for a network processing engine

The front of the Cisco uBR7225VXR chassis provides access to two cable interface line cards. See

Figure 1-1.

The rear of the Cisco uBR7225VXR provides access to the network processing engine and up to two power supplies. See Figure 1-2.

A fully configured Cisco uBR7225VXR router can operate with only one installed power supply; however, a second, optional power supply of the same type provides hot-swappable, load-sharing, and redundant power. In a chassis using two power supplies, if one power supply fails or is removed, the redundant power supply immediately takes over the router’s power requirements and maintains normal operation without interruption.

The power supply has the router’s main power switch and an AC-input power receptacle. Mounting holes for a ground lug are located on the far right side on the rear of the chassis, to provide a chassis ground connection for ESD-preventive equipment. See Figure 3-13 on page 3-16.

Cisco uBR7225VXR Universal Broadband Router

Note Figure 1-2 shows the rear of a Cisco uBR7225VXR router configured with two 300W AC-input power

supplies.

Caution If you are using two power supplies, make sure that each one is plugged into a separate branch circuit.

A fully loaded router, with two installed power supplies (300 W) and all chassis slots filled, weighs approximately 48 pounds (21.8 kg). For clearance requirements and rack-mount installation considerations, refer to the “Site Environment” section on page 2-5.

Cisco uBR7225VXR Network Interface Overview

This section provides a functional overview of the network interfaces available on the Cisco uBR7225VXR universal broadband router, cable interface line card slot and logical interface numbering, as well as the MAC address assignments for cable interface line card interfaces.

Card Slot and Logical Interface Numbering

In the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers, the slot number is the chassis slot in which a cable interface card is installed.

Cable interface line card slots maintain the same slot number regardless of whether other cable interface line cards are installed or removed. However, when you move a cable interface line card to a different slot, the logical interface number changes to reflect the new slot number.

The MAC-layer or hardware address is a standardized data-link layer address that is required for certain network interface types. These addresses are specific and unique to each port. The Cisco uBR7225VXR uses a specific method to assign and control the MAC-layer addresses of its port adapters. For a description of the MAC-layer address, refer to the “MAC-Layer Address” section on page 1-5.

1-4

The two cable interface line cards in the Cisco uBR7225VXR router provide the connection between the router’s two PCI buses (mb1 and mb2) and external networks. See Figure 1-3.

MAC-Layer Address

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 OIR feature requires a different method. For a description of OIR, refer to the “Online Insertion and Removal” section on page 5-1.

The OIR feature allows you to remove a cable interface line card and replace it with another identically configured one. If the new cable interface line card matches the cable interface line card you removed, the system immediately brings it online. In order to allow OIR, an address allocator with a unique MAC address is stored in EPROM on the Cisco uBR7225VXR universal broadband router midplane. Each address is reserved for a specific slot in the router regardless of whether a cable interface line card resides in that slot.

The MAC addresses are assigned to the slots in sequence. This address scheme allows you to remove cable interface cards and insert them into other universal broadband routers without causing the MAC addresses to move around the network or be assigned to multiple devices.

Note Storing the MAC addresses for every slot in one central location means that the addresses stay with the

memory device on which they are stored.

Supported System Configurations Overview

The Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers is installed at a cable television headend or a distribution hub. Related networking and RF equipment, servers, and other host computers are installed, along with the Cisco uBR7225VXR router, to support digital data transmission.

To deliver data and VoIP services over the cable television system, TV channels are allocated to carry digital data. Data is modulated downstream on:

• 6-MHz channels in the 88 to 860 MHz range, using North American channel plans through

Cisco cable interface line cards installed in the chassis. For bidirectional cable plants, a portion of the 5 to 42 MHz range is used for upstream data transmission. For one-way cable plants or cable segments yet to be upgraded, DOCSIS-based cable interfaces configured for telco return are also supported.

• 8-MHz channels in the 108 to 862 MHz range using PAL/SECAM channel plans through

Basic Internet Access Services

A Cisco uBR7225VXR universal broadband router is installed at the headend or distribution hub. The Cisco uBR7225VXR downstream cable interface line cards, with onboard upconvertor, translate the downstream signals to RF for broadcast. The Cisco uBR7225VXR router enables you to transmit downstream data in both the 6-MHz North American or Japanese and the 8-MHz European channel environments using the appropriate model of the cable interface line card.

Receivers, scramblers, and descramblers process the television signals to encode or decode signals as needed for broadcast. Modulators format the analog television and digital signals while upconverters change the carrier frequency of a modulated signal to a specified frequency. The analog TV channels and digitally modulated carriers then pass through the RF combiner.

The signals are broadcast from the headend through optical transmitters typically to fiber nodes in the network. Amplifiers, coaxial cable, and taps carry the signals to the subscriber premises. Signals are processed as follows:

• Set-top boxes (STBs), televisions, or VCRs receive analog and digital data signals.

• DOCSIS-based cable interfaces and STBs connected to customer premises equipment (CPE) receive

digital data signals:

Cisco provides a configuration tool—Cisco Network Registrar (CNR)—which is optimized for high performance automatic dynamic IP address allocation to cable interfaces, PCs, and other devices on the broadband network. Cisco also provides an integrated suite of configuration tools, including CNR, for relatively large cable networks called Cisco Subscriber Registration Center (CSRC). CSRC allows large-scale configuration and management of broadband modems. Leveraging the extensibility of CNR, CSRC enables and administers subscriber self-registration. The directory-enabled architecture of CSRC allows it to integrate with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 3 directory servers.

For more information on CSRC and CNR involvement in the cable network, refer to the CSRC and CNR documentation.

Power Supplies

The Cisco uBR7225VXR router is equipped with one of the following power supplies:

• 300W AC-input power supply—The maximum AC-input power with single or dual power supply

configuration is 300W. The minimum Cisco IOS Release supported on this power supply is the Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA.

• 540W AC-input power supply—The maximum AC-input power with single or dual power supply

configuration is less than 700W. The minimum Cisco IOS Release supported on this power supply is the Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCD.

Note Ensure that you do not use a combination of these power supplies in the Cisco uBR7225VXR router.

The power supply contains a main power switch, Input OK and Output OK LEDs, AC-input power receptacle, and a two-hole grounding lug for the AC-input power supply. The grounding lug at the rear-bottom portion of the chassis provides a ground connection for electrostatic discharge (ESD) equipment.

The Cisco uBR7225VXR router supports an optional, second power supply for load-sharing and power redundancy. If you purchased a Cisco uBR7225VXR router and you want to install a second power supply, you must order the second power supply separately.

A handle on the AC-input power supply unit provides a grip point for removing and replacing the power supply. (Figure 1-8 on page 1-14 shows the faceplate of the AC-input power supply.)

Hardware Component Descriptions

A single captive installation screw secures the power supply to the chassis and seats the power supply in the router midplane. The AC-input power supply has a receptacle for an AC-input power cable. A modular power cable connects the AC-input power supply to the site AC power source.

Detailed instructions for handling and replacing the Cisco uBR7225VXR universal broadband router power supply is available in Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Router AC Power Supply Replacement Instructions.

This document is available on Cisco.com at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/ubr7200/installation/4848pwra.html

Note For the Cisco uBR7225VXR router, the 300W AC-input power supply has an electrical input current

rating of 4A with 100Vac input and the 540W AC-input power supply has an electrical input current rating of 6.5A with 100Vac input.

Caution To ensure adequate airflow across the Cisco uBR7225VXR power supplies, a power supply or a power

supply filler plate (with its attached air dam) must be installed in each power supply bay.

Note See Appendix A, “Cisco uBR7225VXR Router Specifications,” for AC-input power supply system

power specifications, including input voltage and operating frequency ranges.

The Cisco uBR7225VXR power supply shuts itself down when the input AC voltage, the output DC voltage, or the internal temperature of the chassis exceeds allowable tolerances. When this occurs, one or both of the power supply front panel LEDs will turn red. The Cisco uBR7225VXR power supply must then be reset by manually switching the power switch off and then back on to allow the router to recover.

Caution When the input power to Cisco uBR7225VXR power supply is disconnected or lost, the power supply

enters a reset cycle for 10 seconds. Wait at least 10 seconds or move the power switch from one position to the other to restart the power supply. For example, if the power supply was on when the power was disconnected or lost, move the power switch to the off position and then back to the on position. If you do not wait the full 10 seconds or move the power switch from one position to the other, the power supply does not restart.

Fan Trays

The fan tray for the Cisco uBR7225VXR router, shown in Figure 1-9, consisting of three fans that are attached to a metal tray, is located on the left side of the chassis (when viewing the router from the front) and receives 12 VDC through a DC power harness that connects directly to the router midplane.

OL-17309-02

Chapter 1 Cisco uBR7225VXR Overview

Temperature sensors on the network processing engine monitor the internal air temperature and send warning messages when the internal air temperature approaches a specified threshold. If the internal temperature exceeds the specified threshold, the system environmental monitor shuts down all internal power to prevent equipment damage from excessive heat.

Note The Cisco uBR7225VXR router fan tray is not a field-replaceable unit.

Figure 1-9 Cisco uBR7225VXR Fan Tray

Hardware Component Descriptions

The fan tray draws cooling air in through the intake vent on the right side of the chassis (when viewing the router from the front) and moves the air across the internal components and sends it out through the exhaust vent on the left side of the chassis. Figure 1-10 shows the airflow through the router.

The left and right sides of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating inside the chassis; we recommend at least 3 inches of clearance. (See the “Site

Requirements” section on page 2-5.)
