Information About R-PHY Video Configuration

The controller profile specifies the RF channels that belong to this profile and their RF parameters. Profile can either be unicast or multicast.

Multicast profile is used for downstream sharing. Multiple Remote PHY Devices (RPDs) can be configured to receive the same downstream controller. The traffic is multicast to all RPDs configured to receive the downstream controller. Applications include Video on Demand (VOD), Switched Digital Video (SDV) and Broadcast Video.

There is one principal core interface, and up to four auxiliary core interfaces in the RPD configuration. Principal core specifies the DPIC interface with which RPD connects. Auxiliary cores specify external DPIC interfaces that can be used for downstream sharing. Auxiliary core is currently used for narrowcast video, broadcast video and out-of-band data signaling path (OOB) only.

How to Configure R-PHY Video

This section describes how to configure R-PHY video on Cisco cBR-8.

Configuring Downstream Controller Profile

To configure the donwstream controller profile, use the example below:

Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# cable depi multicast pool 20
Router(config-multicast-pool)# ip address 225.28.0.0  255.255.0.0
Router(config-multicast-pool)# exit
Router(config)# cable downstream controller-profile 1
Router(config-controller-profile)# multicast-pool 20
Router(config-controller-profile)# rf-chan 0 15
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# type docsis
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# frequency 111000000
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# rf-output normal
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# qam-profile 1
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# docsis-channel-id 1
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# exit
Router(config-controller-profile)# rf-chan 16 19
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# type video sync
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# frequency 699000000
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# rf-output normal
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# qam-profile 1
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# exit
Router(config-controller-profile)# exit
Router(config)# cable downstream controller-profile 2
Router(config-controller-profile)# multicast-pool 1
Router(config-controller-profile)# rf-chan 20 47
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# type video sync
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# frequency 231000000
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# rf-output normal
Router(config-prof-rf-chan)# qam-profile 4

In the above example,two profiles are configured, profile 1 is a mixed profile, profile 2 is a video only profile.

Configuring RPD

To configure the RPD to include the controller profile, follow the example below:

Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# cable rpd RPD01
Router(config-rpd)# identifier 0004.9f31.0455
Router(config-rpd)# core-interface Te3/1/0
Router(config-rpd-core)# principal
Router(config-rpd-core)# rpd-ds 0 downstream-cable 3/0/0 profile 1
Router(config-rpd-core)# rpd-ds 0 downstream-cable 3/0/1 profile 2
Router(config-rpd-core)# rpd-us 0 upstream-cable 3/0/0 profile 1
Router(config-rpd-core)# exit
Router(config-rpd)# core-interface te6/1/0
Router(config-rpd-core)# rpd-ds 0 downstream-cable 6/0/0 profile 2
Router(config-rpd-core)# exit
Router(config-rpd)# r-dti 1
Router(config-rpd)# rpd-event profile 0


Note


  • All channels within the profiles of a RPD must be unique, frequencies must not overlap each other.

  • There must be at least one DOCSIS downstream profile in the principal core.

  • Auxiliary core must only contain video and out-of-band profiles.

  • A downstream controller can only be associated to one profile.


Configuring Downstream Sharing

Downstream sharing is used for multicast (MC) traffic. To configure downstream sharing, follow the example below:

Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# cable rpd RPD01
Router(config-rpd)# core-interface Te3/1/0
Router(config-rpd-core)# principal
Router(config-rpd-core)# rpd-ds 0 downstream-cable 3/0/1 profile 2
Router(config-rpd-core)# exit
Router(config-rpd)# exit
Router(config)# cable rpd RPD02
Router(config-rpd)# core-interface te3/1/0
Router(config-rpd-core)# principal
Router(config-rpd-core)# rpd-ds 0 downstream-cable 3/0/1 profile 2
Router(config-rpd-core)# exit
Router(config-rpd)# exit
Router(config)# cable rpd RPD03
Router(config-rpd)# core-interface te6/1/0
Router(config-rpd-core)# principal
Router(config-rpd-core)# rpd-ds 0 downstream-cable 6/0/1 profile 3
Router(config-rpd-core)# exit
Router(config-rpd)# core-interface te3/1/0
Router(config-rpd-core)# rpd-ds 0 downstream-cable 3/0/1 profile 2



Note


All RPDs in the same multicast group have the same controller and profile association.


Configuring Video

To configure Video, see Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Video Configuration Guide for Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1.
