Troubleshooting Tips for the
Cisco uBR924 Cable Access Router
Feature Summary
This document describes the Cisco IOS troubleshooting commands that may be used by cable
service providers to verify communication between a Cisco uBR924 cable access router and other
peripheral devices installed in the HFC headend such as a Cisco uBR7200 series universal
broadband router, a DHCP server, and a TFTP server.
Benefits
The Cisco uBR924 cable access router troubleshooting system provides the following benef its:
• A MAC-layer system log file that provides a snapshot of detailed reasons why an interface might
reset, along with all the negotiations that occurred between the Cisco uBR924 cable access router
and the CMTS. Over 220 possible description fields exist in this log, which is displayed using the
show controllers cable-modem 0 mac log command from privileged EXEC mode.
• Debug does not need to be turned on in order to troubleshoot a Cisco uBR924 cable access router.
• The progression of normal data-over-cable communication events is clearly explained,
simplifying the resolution of faulty system connections.
Restrictions
• Troubleshooting and diagnostic tasks can be performed on the Cisco uBR924 from a remote
location using TELNET.
When using the Cisco uBR924 cable access router, k eep the following restrictions and limitations in
mind:
• The Cisco uBR924 is able to implement multiple classes of service (CoS) on the cable interface;
howeve r , separate CoS streams are only a v ailable when the cable access router is connected to a
headend that supports multiple CoS per cable access router. In addition, the configuration file
downloaded to the cable access router must specify the use of multiple classes of service.
• If the Cisco uBR924 cable access router is connected to a DOCSIS 1.0 headend that does not
support multiple CoS per cable access router, v oice and data will be mixed, and v oice traf f ic will
be transmitted on a best effort basis. This may cause poorer voice quality and lower data
throughput when calls are being made from the cable access router’s telephone ports. Voice
quality may also be affected when transmitting or downlo ading large f iles, or at other times when
network traffic is heavy.

Note The Cisco uBR924 cable access router is typically configured at the headend. Most cable
service operators do not permit local configuration at subscriber sites.
Caution Before attempting to reconfigure a Cisco uBR924 cable access router at a subscriber site, contact
your network management, provisioning manager, or billing system administrator to ensure remote
configuration is allowed. If remote configuration is disabled, settings you make and save at the local site will
not remain in effect after the cable access router is re set or powered off and back on. Instead, settings will
return to the previous configuration.
Related Features and Technologies
The Cisco uBR924 cable access router is intended to be used in conjunction with a Cisco uBR7200
series universal broadband router or other DOCSIS-based CMTS located at the cable operator’s
headend facility.

broadband—Transmission system that combin es multiple independent signals onto one cable. In
the cable industry, broadband refers to the frequency-division multiplexing of many signals in a wide
bandwidth of RF frequencies using a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network.
CATV—Originally stood for Community Antenna Television. Now refers to any coaxial or fiber
cable-based system that provides television services.

dB—Decibel. A measure of the relative strength of two signals.
dBm—Decibels with respect to one milliwatt. A unit of RF signal strength used in satellite work and
other communications applications.
dBmV—Decibels with respect to one millivolt in a 75-ohm system. The unit of RF power used in
CATV work in North America.
DHCP—Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol provides a mechanism for allocating
IP addresses dynamically so that addresses can be reused when hosts no longer need them.
DOCSIS—Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification. Defines technical specifications for
equipment at both subscriber locations and cable operators’ headends.
downstream—The set of frequencies used to send data from a headend to a subscriber.
FDM—Frequency Division Multiplexing. A data transmission method in which a number of
transmitters share a transmission medium, each occupying a different frequency.
FEC—Forward Error Correction. In data transmission, a process by which additional data is added
that is derived from the payload by an assigned algorithm. It allows the receiver to determine if
certain classes of errors have occurred in transmission and, in some cases, allows other classes of
errors to be corrected.
headend—Central distribution point for a CATV system. Video signals are recei ved here from
satellite (either co-located or remote), frequency converted to the appropriate channels, combined
with locally originated signals, and rebroadcast onto the HFC plant. For a CATV data system, the
headend is the typical place to create a link between the HFC system and any external data networks.
HFC—Hybrid fiber-coaxial (cable network). Older CATV systems were provisioned using only
coaxial cable. Modern systems use fiber transport from the headend to an optical node located in the
neighborhood to reduce system noise. Coaxial cable runs from the node to the subscriber. The fiber
plant is generally a star configuration with all optical node fibers terminating at a headend. The
coaxial cable part of the system is generally a trunk-and-branch configuration.

represented by amplitude and phase states of the carrier. QAM is a modulation scheme mostly used
in the downstream direction (64-QAM, 256-QAM). 16-QAM is expected to be usable in the
upstream direction. Numbers indicate number of code points per symbol. The QAM rate or the
number of points in the QAM constellation can be computed by 2 raised to the power of <number

Step 3—Display the Cisco uBR924’s MAC Log File
A MAC-layer circular log file is stored inside the Cisco uBR924. This file contains a history of the
log messages such as state event activities and timestamps. This is the most valuable information for
troubleshooting the cable interface.
The MAC log file is displayed by entering the show controllers cable-modem 0 mac log command
from privileged EXEC mode.
The most useful display fields in this log file are the reported state changes. These fields are preceded

Step 4—Interpret the MAC Log File and Take Action
Event 1—Wait for the Link to Come Up
When the Cisco uBR924 cable access router is powered on and begins initialization, the first event
that occurs is that the MAC layer informs the cable access router drivers that it needs to reset. The
LINK_DOWN and LINK_UP fields are similar to the shut and no shut conditions on a standard Cisco
Event 2—Scan for a Downstream Channel, then Synchronize
Different geographical regions and different cable plants use different frequency bands. The
Cisco uBR924 cable access router uses a built-in default frequency scanning feature to address this
issue. After the Cisco uBR924 finds a successful downstream frequenc y channel, it saves the channel
to NVRAM. The Cisco uBR924 recalls this value the next time it needs to synchronize its frequency .
The
CMAC_LOG_WILL_SEARCH_DS_FREQUENCY_BAND field tells you what frequency the Cisco
uBR924 will scan for. The
frequency the Cisco uBR924 locked onto and saved to NVRAM for future recall. The
CMAC_LOG_DS_64QAM_LOCK_ACQUIREDfield communicates the same information. The
CMAC_LOG_DS_CHANNEL_SCAN_COMPLETEDfield indicates that the scanning and synchronization was
CMAC_LOG_WILL_SEARCH_SAVED_DS_FREQUENCYfield tells you the
A frequency band is a group of adjacent channels. These bands are numbered from 88 to 99. Each
band has starting and ending digital carrier frequencies and a 6 MHz step size. For example, a search
of EIA channels 95-97 is specified using band 89. The starting frequency is 93 MHz, the ending
frequency is 105 MHz.
The Cisco uBR924’s default frequency bands correspond to the North American EIA CATV channel
plan for 6 MHz channel slots between 90 MHz and 858 MHz. For example, EIA channel 95 occupies
the slot 90-96 MHz. The digital carrier frequency is specified as the center frequency of 93 MHz.
Channel 95 is usually specified using the analog video carrier frequency of 91.25 MHz, which lies
1.75 MHz below the center of the slot.
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T

Page 15
Step 4—Interpret the MAC Log File and Take Action
The search table is arranged so that the first frequencies tried are above 450 MHz. Because many
CATV systems have been upgraded from 450 MHz to 750 MHz coaxial cable, digital channels have
a high chance of being assigned in the new spectrum. The search table omits channels below 90 MHz
and above 860 MHz since the DOCSIS specification does not mandate their coverage.
Some CATV systems use alternative frequency plans such as the IRC (Incrementally Related
Carrier) plan and HRC (Harmonically Related Carrier) plan. Cisco cable access routers support both
of these plans. Most of the IRC channel slots overlap the EIA plan.
Event 3—Obtain Upstream Parameters
The Cisco uBR924 waits for an upstream channel descriptor (UCD) message from the headend
CMTS. The UCD provides transmission parameters for the upstream channel.

The ranging process adjusts the transmit power of the cable access router. The Cisco uBR924
performs ranging in two stages: ranging state 1 and ranging state 2.

CMAC_LOG_POWER_LEVEL_IS field is the power level that the CMTS told the Cisco uBR924 to
adjust to. The

Event 5—Establish IP Connectivity
After ranging is complete, the cable interface on the cable access router is UP. Now the
Cisco uBR924 accesses a remote DHCP server to get an IP address. The DHCP request also includes
the name of a file that contains additional configuration parameters, the TFTP server’s address and
the Time of Day (TOD) server’s address.

Event 7—Establish Security
The Cisco uBR924 establishes a security association. The security_association_state is
normally bypassed since “full security” as defined by DOCSIS is not supported.
Note “Full security” was a request made by MSOs for a very strong authorization and
authentication check by the CMTS. This request has not been granted by cable modem
manufacturers. The Cisco uBR924 supports DOCSIS baseline privacy beginning with Cisco IOS
Release 12.0(5)T, which protects user’s data from being “sniffed” on the cable network. For
information on baseline privacy, refer to “Event 10—Comply with Baseline Privacy” on page 17.
After the DHCP and security operations are successful, the Cisco uBR924 downloads operational
parameters via a configuration file located on the cable company’s TFTP server. The
CMAC_LOG_DHCP_CONFIG_FILE_NAME field shows the filename containing the transmission

number and a service ID (SID). Multiple CoS entries in the configuration file imply that multiple
SIDs are supported by the cable access router. If several cable access routers use the same
configuration file, they will have the same CoS numbers but will be assigned different SIDs.
CMAC_LOG_COS_ASSIGNED_SID field assigns a class of service (CoS)
Keys for baseline priv acy are exchanged between the Cisco uBR924 and the headend CMTS. During
this event, a link level encryption is performed so that a user’s data cannot be “sniffed” by anyone
else who is on the cable network.
Following is a trace that shows baseline privacy enabled. The key management protocol is
responsible for exchanging two types of keys: KEKs and TEKs. The KEK (key exchange key, also
referred to as the authorization key) is used by the headend CMTS to encrypt the TEKs (traffic
encryption keys) it sends to the Cisco uBR924. The TEKs are used to encrypt/decrypt the data. There
is a TEK for each SID that is configured to use privacy.

Note In order for baseline privacy to wo rk, you must use a code image name on the Cisco uBR924
that contains the characters k1. In addition, baseline privacy must be supported on the headend
CMTS, and it must be turned on in the configuration file that is downloaded to the Cisco uBR924.

Event 11—Enter the Maintenance State
As soon as the Cisco uBR924 has successfully completed the above events, it enters the operational
maintenance state and is authorized to forward traffic into the cable network.
You can use other show controllers and debug cable modem commands to troubleshoot different
aspects of a Cisco uBR924 cable access router. However, the most useful command is the show controllers cable-modem 0 mac command.

Command Reference
This section describes the commands used in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T for troubleshooting the
cable side of the Cisco uBR924 cable access router.
The commands used to troubleshoot VoIP applications are documented in the Cisco IOS
Release 12.0 command references.
• show controllers cable-modem
• show controllers cable-modem bpkm
• show controllers cable-modem des
• show controllers cable-modem filters
• show controllers cable-modem lookup-table
• show controllers cable-modem mac
• show controllers cable-modem phy
• show controllers cable-modem tuner
In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1)T or later, you can search and filter the output for show and more
commands. This functionality is useful when you need to sort through large amounts of output, or if
you want to exclude output that you do not need to see.
Step 5—Use Additional Troubleshooting Commands
To use this functionality, enter a show or more command followed by the “pipe” character (|), one
of the keywords begin, include, or exclude, and an expression that you want to search or filter on:
command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression
Following is an example of the show atm vc command in which you want the command output to
begin with the first line where the expression “PeakRate” appears:
show atm vc| beginPeakRate

11.3 NAThis command was first introduced.
The show controllers cable-modem display begins with information from the first fe w re gisters of
the Broadcom BCM3300 chip. Next is buffer information for the receive, receive MAC message,
buffer descriptor, and packet descriptor rings. Then comes MIB statistics from the BCM3300 chip,
DMA base registers to indicate where the rings start, global control and status information, and
finally interrupts for the interrupt code.
When using this command, be sure to check the tx_count and the tx_head and tx_tail values for the
buffer descriptor (TX BD) and packet descriptor (TX PD) rings. The tx_count should be greater than
0, and the tx_head and tx_tail values should not be equal. If these values do not change for a long
period of time, it indicates there are packets stuck on the ring. This condition is often caused by the
headend not giving grants.

MAC log messages are written to a circular log file even when debugging is not turned on. These
messages include timestamps, events, and information pertinent to these events. Use the show controllers cable-modem mac log command to view MAC log messages.
If the Cisco uBR924 interface fails to come up or resets periodically , the MA C log will capture what
happened. For example, if an address is not obtained from the DHCP server, an error is logged,
initialization starts over, and the Cisco uBR924 scans for a downstream frequency.
The most useful keywords for troubleshooting a Cisco uBR924 are log, errors, and resets. See
Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3.

The following sample display shows the MAC log file for a cable-modem interface that has
successfully registered with the CMTS:
74376.112 R02.0 No Ranging Response received. T3 time-out.
74376.354 R02.0 No Ranging Response received. T3 time-out.
74376.778 R02.0 No Ranging Response received. T3 time-out.
74377.442 R02.0 No Ranging Response received. T3 time-out.
This output indicates that the Cisco uBR924 acquired a downstream lock, successfully read a UCD,
and successfully read a MAP. However , it was unable to communicate with the CMTS after ranging
through all upstream transmit power levels. The Cisco uBR924 tried to communicate with the CMTS
16 times without success, after which it reset the cable interface to try to find a better downstream
frequency.
If the DHCP server could not be reached, the error would look like this in the MAC error display:
uBR924# show controllers cable-modem 0 mac errors

images for the Cisco uBR924 contain k1 in the code image name.
The following example shows debug output when the headend does not have privacy enabled:

11.3 NAThis command was first introduced.
When the interface is down, all bridge table entries learned on the Ethernet interface are set to discard
because traffic is not bridged until the cable interface has c ompleted initialization. After the interface
(the line protocol) is completely up, bridge table entries learned on the Ethernet interface program
the cable MAC data filters. The cable MAC hardware filters out any received packets whose
addresses are not in the filters. In this way, the cable interface only receives packets addressed to its
own MAC address or an address it has learned on the Ethernet interface.

11.3 NAThis command was first introduced.
Of all the available debug cable modem commands, the most useful is debug cable-modem mac log.
MAC log messages are written to a circular log file even when debugging is not turned on. These
messages include timestamps, events, and information pertinent to these events. Enter the debug cable-modem mac log command to view MAC log messages. If you w ant to vie w this information
without entering debug mode, enter the show controllers cable-modem number mac log command.
The same information is displayed by both commands.
If the Cisco uBR924 interface fails to come up or resets periodically, the MAC log will show what
happened. For example, if an address is not obtained from the DHCP server, an error is logged,
initialization starts over, and the Cisco uBR924 scans for a downstream frequency. The debug cable-modem mac log command displays the log from the oldest to the newest entry.
After initial ranging is successful (dhcp_state has been reached), further
messages and watchdog timer entries are suppressed from output unless the verbose keyword is
used. Note that
using the verbose keyword.

Examples
Example 1
This example shows sample display output from the debug cable-modem mac log command. The
fields of the output are the time since bootup, the log message, and in some cases a parameter that
gives more detail about the log entry.
The line “0 events dropped due to lack of a chunk” at the end of a display indicates that no
log entries were discarded due to a temporary lack of memory. This means the log is accurate and
reliable.
Example 2
The following example compares the output of the debug cable-modem mac lo g command with the
debug cable-modem mac log verbose command. The verbose keyword displays periodic events
such as ranging.

Example 3
The following example shows di sp lay output for the debug cable mac messages command. This
command causes received cable MAC management messages to be displayed in a verbose format.
The messages that are displayed are shown below:

In addition, transmitted REG-REQs are displayed in hex dump format. The output from this
command is very verbose and is usually not needed for normal interface debugging. The command
is most useful when attempting to attach a Cisco uBR924 cable access router to a CMTS that is not
DOCSIS-qualified.
For a description of the displayed fields of each message, refer to the DOCSIS Radio Frequency
Interface Specification, v1.0 (SP-RFI-I04-980724).
