System Requirements
This section describes the system requirements for Cisco Release 12.2(15)CX1 and includes the following sections:
•
•
Memory Recommendations
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)CX1 provides two different boot images for the Cisco uBR7200 series routers:
•
The "kboot" version of the boot image is a new version of the boot image software that can run only on the Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 processor and the UBR7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller, because it is too large to load on the other I/O controllers. This image contains support for almost all supported port adapters, allowing the Cisco uBR7246VXR router to boot over almost any type of WAN interface.
•
The "boot" version of the boot image is small enough to be loaded on I/O controllers with 4MB of Flash memory, but it supports only Ethernet, FastEthernet, Gigabit Ethernet, OC POS, and a limited number of ATM port adapters. If you are using a serial port adapter or most ATM port adapters, you will not be able to boot over the WAN interface.
This difference in boot images affects only the ability of the Cisco uBR7246VXR router to boot over the WAN interface. When the router has successfully loaded the Cisco IOS software, it will have connectivity over all of the port adapters that this particular version of Cisco IOS software supports.
Table 4 displays the memory recommendations of the Cisco IOS feature sets for the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)CX1. Cisco uBR7200 series routers are only available with a 48 MB or 128 MB of Flash disk memory on the I/O Controller cards. The UBR7200-NPE-G1 uses compact Flash disk only.
Note
The image subset legend for Table 4 is as follows:

Note
System Interoperability
This section clarifies the operation of certain features in the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers.
•
DOCSIS baseline privacy interface (BPI) gives subscribers data privacy across the RF network, encrypting traffic flows between the CMTS and CM. BPI ensures that a CM, uniquely identified by its Media Access Control (MAC) address, can obtain keying material for services only it is authorized to access.
To enable BPI, choose software at both the CMTS and CM that support the mode of operation. For the Cisco uBR7200 series software, choose an image with "k8" in its file name or BPI in the feature set description.
The CM must also support BPI. CMs must have factory-installed RSA private/public key pairs to support internal algorithms to generate key pairs prior to first BPI establishment. BPI must be enabled using the DOCSIS configuration file.

The Cisco uBR7200 series supports the following DOCSIS 1.0 quality of service (QoS) extensions:
–
–

–
Note
•
The Cisco uBR7200 series support clock hardware and software to enable high-quality delivery of IP telephony services through synchronized data transmissions. To support the clock feature set, a Cisco uBR7246VXR chassis must be used. The Cisco uBR7246VXR must contain a clock card and either a Cisco uBR-MC16E or Cisco uBR-MC28C cable interface line card. Only these cards support the external clock reference from the clock card to distribute that signal to CMs or STBs attached to the specific network segments.
Each cable modem must also support VoIP applications and the clock reference feature set to enable synchronized timing. The Cisco uBR924 and Cisco uBR925 cable access routers, running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(7)T or later, supports the clock reference feature set automatically.
•
The Cisco uBR7246VXR supports the National Clock Card. The National Clock Card allows the Cisco uBR7246VXR to accept a primary or secondary external clock reference. If there is no primary clock, the Clock Card goes into Holdover. After a period of 2-10 seconds, the Clock Card switches to the secondary clock. When the primary clock is back online, the Clock Card switches to the primary clock after a period of 2-10 seconds. The National Clock Card requires the Cisco uBR-MC1xS or the Cisco uBR-MC1xE cable interface line card.
Supported Hardware
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)CX1 only supports the Cisco uBR7246VXR universal broadband router.
For detailed descriptions of the new hardware features, see the "New and Changed Information" section.
Network Processing Engines
The Cisco uBR7223 and the Cisco uBR7246 support the following Network Processing Engines (NPE) in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)CX1:

Support for the NPE-G1 in the Cisco uBR7246VXR
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)CX introduces support for the Network Processing Engine NPE-G1 (NPE-G1) in the Cisco uBR7246VXR universal broadband router. NPE-G1 addresses the demand for performance and flexibility by doubling its processing capacity and enabling unprecedented LAN performance.
The NPE-G1 offers the following benefits:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Note
The NPE-G1 is the first network processing engine for the Cisco uBR7246VXR router to provide the functionality of both a network processing engine and I/O controller. If used without an I/O controller, an I/O blank panel must be in place.
While its design provides I/O controller functionality, it can also work with any I/O controller supported in the Cisco uBR7246VXR router. The NPE-G1, when installed with an I/O controller, provides the bootflash and NVRAM that the Cisco IOS software uses to boot.
Note
The NPE-G1 maintains and executes the system management functions for the Cisco uBR7246VXR routers and also holds the system memory and environmental monitoring functions.
The NPE-G1 consists of one board with multiple interfaces. The NPE-G1 consists of the following components:
•
–
–
•
The NPE-G1 has two levels of cache: primary and secondary cache that are internal to the microprocessor with secondary unified cache for data and instruction.

Important Notes
The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)CX1 that apply to Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers.
Removing Previous Default Modulation Profiles When Upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)CX1
When upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)CX1, remove the previous default modulation profiles in order for to get the optimized default modulation profiles from the rebuild image. The older 41/141/241 modulation profiles would not give optimized channel utilization, although they won't create an upstream hang problem, as the driver code safety check the guard time internally and overwrite the value if necessary.
When upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)CX1 from 12.2(15)CX, you need to force the Cisco uBR7246VXR router to regenerate the default modulation profiles for the Cisco uBR-MC16U/X and Cisco uBR-MC28U/X cable interface line cards. To do this, give the following commands at the global configuration mode prompt:
no cable modulation profile 41
no cable modulation profile 141
no cable modulation profile 241
Upstream Modulation Type Mismatch Can Cause Modems to Go Offline When Using Cisco uBR-MC16U/X and Cisco uBR-MC28U/X Cards
Caveat CSCec40125, All modems on upstream go offline and do not return, describes a situation in which all cable modems on an upstream on a Cisco uBR-MC16U/X or Cisco uBR-MC28U/X card can go offline and do not come back online until the upstream is shut down and reenabled, using the shutdown and no shutdown commands. To avoid this problem, use the following workaround until this caveat is resolved:
Step 1
Router# configure terminalRoute(config)# cable modulation-profile profile-id short 4 76 30 26 qpsk scrambler 152 no-diff 68 shortenedRouter(config)# cable modulation-profile profile-id long 8 232 0 168 qpsk scrambler 152 no-diff 100 shortenedRouter(config)#

Upgrading When Using Shared Secret Passwords
Cisco IOS Release 12.2 BC changed the encryption algorithm used for the shared-secret command. If you are upgrading from Cisco IOS Release 12.1 EC or Cisco IOS Release 12.0 SC, you cannot cut and paste the "shared-secret" configuration lines that include an encrypted password. Instead, you must re-enter the original shared secret passwords at the CLI prompt.
For example, if the actual shared secret password is "cm-sharedsecret-password," you would enter the cable shared-secret cm-sharedsecret-password command at the CLI prompt. If you have enabled password encryption, the configuration file will then show only the newly encrypted password.
The following example shows a typical configuration session:
Router# config tRouter(config)# service password-encryptionRouter(config)# int c6/0Router(config-if)# cable shared-secret cm-sharedsecret-passwordRouter(config-if)# exitRouter(config)# exitRouter# show running-config | include sharedcable shared-secret 7 0458064B1C294D5C0C1D161211190910673B253B20222D0103Router#
Note
Using the show cable modem Command After an HCCP Switchover
If you are using HCCP 1+1 or N+1 redundancy, the new primary processor after a switchover automatically creates a new database of the online cable modems. This means that the show cable modem ip-address and show cable modem ip-address cnr commands might not show a particular cable modem until the CMTS receives IP traffic from that cable modem.
You can force IP traffic by using the ping ip-address command, and then the show cable modem ip-address and show cable modem ip-address cnr commands will show the cable modem. You can also display any particular cable modem by using the show cable modem | include ip-address command.
Maximum Baud Rate on Aux Port for I/O-2FE/E Controller
The Auxiliary Port (AUX) on the Cisco UBR7200-I/O-2FE/E input/output controller for the Cisco uBR7246VXR router supports a maximum baud rate of 19,200 bps. The CLI commands will allow you to set the baud rate for the AUX port to 38,4000 bps, but you will be unable to communicate at this speed. Therefore, set the baud rate for the AUX port to 19,200 bps or less.
SNR Algorithm Updated
Since Cisco IOS Release 12.2(4)BC1, the algorithm for calculating the SNR estimate in the show controllers cable upstream command was refined for a more accurate value. The new SNR estimate uses the algorithm as recommended by the chip manufacturer, and depending on plant characteristics, the new SNR value could be up to 6 dB lower than the values shown in earlier software releases.
Note
Avoiding the Dropping of SNMP Traps
When the snmp-server enable traps command is given without any options, it enables all traps, which can generate a significant number of traps at key events, such as system power-up. If the SNMP queue is not large enough to handle all of the traps, new traps will be dropped without notification until the existing traps are sent and slots become available in the queue.
You can do two things to avoid dropping traps in this situation:
•
•
router(config)# snmp-server enable trapsrouter(config)# no snmp-server enable traps syslogDOCSIS 1.0 BPI Support
To conform with a recent change in the DOCSIS 1.0 Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI) Specification, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)BC1 and later releases require that the Baseline Privacy Configuration Settings Option (Type 17) must be included in the DOCSIS configuration file for all DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems attempting to register for BPI encryption. If the type 17 option is not included, an "Unauthorized SAID" warning will appear in the CMTS console, and the cable modem will not be allowed to come online.
Previous Cisco IOS Releases allowed DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems to register for BPI encryption and to come online, even if the DOCSIS configuration file did not include the type 17 option. The change to the DOCSIS BPI specification, however, made the type 17 option mandatory for BPI operation.
For more information about this requirement, see the TAC technical note on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/109/bpi_changes_23895.html.
Limitation on Vendor-Specific Information in the DOCSIS Configuration File
DOCSIS requires that when the cable modem sends its Registration Request (REG-REQ) message to the CMTS, it must include the configuration information found in the DOCSIS configuration file. This configuration information must include all vendor-specific information fields (VSIF). Because MAC-layer management messages, such as REG-REQ, have a maximum data size of 1522 bytes, this limits the amount of VSIF information that can be included in the DOCSIS configuration file.
In particular, the maximum packet size imposes a limit on the number of Cisco IOS CLI commands you can include as VSIF fields in the DOCSIS configuration file. The exact number of commands that will fit depends on the other information included in the file, as well as the length of each command.
If the REG-REQ message is larger than 1522 bytes, the cable modem will likely report errors similar to the following errors that appears on Cisco uBR900 series cable access routers:
%LINK-4-TOOBIG: Interface cable-modem0, Output packet size of 1545 bytes too big%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface cable-modem0, changed state to downIn addition, the CMTS will also report that the cable modem timed out during the registration process. If this occurs, you can try the following steps:
•
•
•
For complete details on what is included in the REG-REQ message, see Chapter 6 of the current DOCSIS 1.1 specification (SP-RFIv1.1-I07-010829 or later).
Note
Configuring the Routing Protocol Causes a Reset of the Cable Modems
Be aware that when configuring a routing protocol on a Cisco uBR7200 series router, the Cisco IOS software must reset the interfaces to enable the change. This normally does not significantly affect operations on the interface, except that when this is done on a cable interface, it causes all cable modems on that particular downstream to reinitialize, potentially interfering with data transmission on that downstream. Therefore, you should use the routing protocol global configuration commands, such as router rip, only when a minimum of subscribers would be affected.
Cable Bundling
To reduce the number of subnets consumed per Cisco CMTS, cable interface bundling is used. Multiple cable interfaces can share a single IP subnet. An IP subnet is required for each bundle. You can bundle all cable interfaces on a Cisco CMTS into a single bundle.
Note
Using the CLI, first configure a master interface for a cable interface bundle. The master interface has an IP address assigned and is visible for IP routing functionality. After you configure the master interface, add additional cable interfaces to the same interface bundle. Those interfaces must not have an IP address assigned. You can also configure multiple bundle interfaces.
Use the following commands to configure and view cable interface bundles:
[no] cable bundle n master
show cable bundle
Up to four interface bundles can be configured. In each bundle, specify exactly one interface as the master interface, using the "master" keyword. In the case of a subinterface over a cable bundle, `x' is the interface number of the bundle master [1]. The subinterface number starts from 1.
Caution
When bundling cable interfaces, only the interface configured to be the bundle master is allowed to have subinterfaces. An interface that has subinterface(s) defined over it will not be allowed to be part of a bundle. MIB objects on cable interface bundles are not supported as of the date of this publication.
For more information on cable bundling, see the chapter "Understanding System Operations" of the
Cisco uBR7200 Series Software Configuration Guide and the Cable Interface Bundling for the Cisco uBR7200 Series Cable Router feature module. For information on feature modules, see the "Feature Modules" section.EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF Not Supported on Cable Interfaces
The Cisco uBR7200 supports advanced routing protocols such as Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) only on the WAN interfaces, not on the cable interfaces. On cable interfaces, use a routing protocol that is supported by the cable modems, such as RIPv2.

CSCdu53656
A Cisco device running IOS and enabled for the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DOS) attack from a malformed BGP packet. The BGP protocol is not enabled by default, and must be configured in order to accept traffic from an explicitly defined peer. Unless the malicious traffic appears to be sourced from a configured, trusted peer, it would be difficult to inject a malformed packet. BGP MD5 is a valid workaround for this problem.
Cisco has made free software available to address this problem. For more details, please refer to this advisory, available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20040616-bgp.shtml.

Cisco Feature Navigator
Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that are supported on specific platforms. To get updated information regarding platform support for this feature, access Cisco Feature Navigator. Cisco Feature Navigator dynamically updates the list of supported platforms as new platform support is added for the feature.
Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to quickly determine which Cisco IOS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image. You can search by feature or release. Under the release section, you can compare releases side by side to display both the features unique to each software release and the features in common.
To access Cisco Feature Navigator, you must have an account on Cisco.com. If you have forgotten or lost your account information, send a blank e-mail to cco-locksmith@cisco.com. An automatic check will verify that your e-mail address is registered with Cisco.com. If the check is successful, account details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you. Qualified users can establish an account on Cisco.com by following the directions found at this URL:
Cisco Feature Navigator is updated regularly when major Cisco IOS software releases and technology releases occur. For the most current information, go to the Cisco Feature Navigator home page at the following URL:

Cisco IOS Software Documentation Set
The Cisco IOS software documentation set consists of the Cisco IOS configuration guides, Cisco IOS command references, and several other supporting documents. The Cisco IOS software documentation set is shipped with your order in electronic form on the Documentation CD-ROM, unless you specifically ordered the printed versions.
Documentation Modules
Each module in the Cisco IOS documentation set consists of one or more configuration guides and one or more corresponding command references. Chapters in a configuration guide describe protocols, configuration tasks, and Cisco IOS software functionality, and contain comprehensive configuration examples. Chapters in a command reference provide complete command syntax information. Use each configuration guide with its corresponding command reference.
On Cisco.com and the Documentation CD-ROM, two master hot-linked documents provide information for the Cisco IOS software documentation set.
