RPD Association Policies
|
Allow Shelf Specific Configurations |
Select the check box to configure Cisco Remote PHY Shelf 7200, Cisco Remote PHY Shelf 300, or Cisco Remote PHY Shelf 600.
Cisco cBR-8 routers running IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.1z or later support this feature. Select this check box to enable the following
fields:
-
Base Power (dBmV)
-
Tilt Pivot Freq (Hz)
-
Tilt Slope (dBmV)
RPD does not restart after updating these parameters.
|
Enforce Compatibility with IOS XE 17.6.1 |
If you select this check box, then Smart PHY generates Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.6.1 compatible controller configurations
for Cisco cBR-8 routers running versions of Cisco IOS XE earlier than 17.6.1.
|
Service Definition Overrides
|
Do not Apply Network Delay |
If you select this check box, then Smart PHY does not apply the selected Service Definition's Network Delay configuration
to this Association. If the Network Delay is configured in the selected Service Definition, checking this box impacts the
service.
|
Override DSG Tunnel Group IDs |
If you select this check box, Smart PHY overrides the selected Service Definition's DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway (DSG) Tunnel Group
(TG) identifications list with the entries entered here. Seperate the entries must with a semicolon.
|
CCAP Cores & RF Parameters
|
DOCSIS Principal Core
|
Device Name |
Select the name of the managed cBR-8 router or the unmanaged CCAP Core, which is the Principal CCAP Core for the RPD. If you
choose a managed Principal Core, then the Core must provide the RPD with data and narrowband digital forward (NDF)/narrowband
digital return (NDR) services. This core may also provide the following services:
|
Interface |
If the Principal Core is a managed Cisco cBR-8 router, then select the DPIC interface used to deliver the data service. Leave
this field empty if there is no Principal Core or if the Principal Core is unmanaged.
|
First and Second Logical DS/US Pairing |
RPD DS Port (Downstream Physical Port) |
Select the Downstream RPD port of the logical pairing. The two options are 0 or 1 . Select 0 for the first pairing. This is not applicable to the second pairing for 1x1 or 1x2 node segmentation. You can select 0 or 1 for 2x2 node segmentation.
|
RPD US Port (Upstream Physical Port) |
Select the Upstream RPD Port of the logical pairing. The two options are 0 or 1 . This is not applicable to second pairing for 1x1 node segmentation.
|
DS Service Group |
Enter the name of the Downstream Service Group. All RPDs with the same data service group share the downstream controller
for Data Service (Virtual Splitting for Data). This is not applicable to second pairing for 1x1 or 1x2 node segmentation.
|
US Service Group |
Enter the name of the Upstream Service Group. Upstream data service group allows multiple RPDs to share the same upstream
controller for upstream data traffic. Not applicable to second pairing for 1x1 node segmentation.
|
Out-of-band Core |
Device Name |
Enter the name of the Cisco cBR-8 router which is the CCAP core for the RPD that provides out-of-band (OOB) SCTE 55–1 service
and NDF/NDR services. This field must match either the DOCSIS Principal Core or the auxiliary Video Core. Leave this field empty if the OOB 55–1 and NDF/NDR services are not used.
|
Interface |
Select the DPIC interface to be used for out-of-band 55–1 and NDF/NDR service. If the OOB 55–1 and NDF/NDR services are not
used, then leave this field empty.
|
Override OOB VOM & VARPD IDs |
If you select this check box, then Smart PHY overrides the selected Service Definition's OOB Downstream & Upstream parameters
(VOM ID, VOM Profile, VARPD ID, and VARPD Profile) with the values entered here.
|
Downstream VOM ID |
OOB 55–1 Downstream Virtual out-of-band Modulator (VOM) Identification (ID). If you populate this field, it overrides the
value in the Service Definition. Enter a value from 1 through 20.
|
Downstream VOM Profile |
OOB 55–1 Downstream VOM profile. If you populate this field, it overrides the value in the Service Definition. Enter a value
from 1 through 4294967295.
|
Upstream VARPD ID |
OOB 55–1 Upstream Virtual Advanced Return Path Demodulator (VARPD) ID. If you populate this field, it overrides the value
in the Service Definition. Enter a value from 1 through 32.
|
Upstream VARPD Profile |
OOB 55–1 Upstream VARPD profile for first logical Downstream or Upstream (DS/US) pairing. If you populate this field, it overrides
the value in the Service Definition. The upstream VARPD profile (upstreamVarpdProfile) and the second upstream VARPD profile
(secondUpstreamVarpdProfile) can have the same value. For more details, see Common OOB 55-1 US Profile for Cisco RPD 1x2/2x2. Enter a value from 1 through 4294967295.
|
Second Upstream VARPD Profile |
OOB 55–1 Upstream VARPD profile for second logical Downstream or Upstream (DS/US) pairing. If you populate this field, it
overrides the value in the Service Definition. The upstream VARPD profile (upstreamVarpdProfile) and the second upstream VARPD
profile (secondUpstreamVarpdProfile) can have the same value. For more details, see Common OOB 55-1 US Profile for Cisco RPD 1x2/2x2. Enter a value from 1 through 4294967295.
|
Video Configuration |
Device Name |
Enter the name of the Cisco cBR-8 router, which is the auxiliary CCAP core for the RPD that provides video services. Leave
this field empty if the principal core provides the video services.
|
Interfaces |
Select the DPIC interfaces to be used for Video Services. |
Video Service Groups |
Video service group (VSG) names. Video is forwarded only in the downstream direction. Not applicable to second pairing for
1x1 or 1x2 node segmentation. Important:Cisco Smart PHY does not allow you to configure a VSG on a Downstream Port 1 (ds1) with broadcast keyword through the Cisco cBR-8 CLI. If you try to configure a VSG on a Downstream Port 1 (ds1) with broadcast keyword, then the CLI shows an error.Cisco Smart PHY maps a VSG to a video interface based on the order of the VSGs and interfaces
if a VSG can map to more than one interface:
-
A VSG can map to more than one video interface if the video interface list includes both ports 0 and 2 or both ports 4 and
6 of one Cisco cBR-8 Series 8x10G Remote PHY Digital Physical Interface Card (CBR-DPIC-8X10G).
-
Cisco Smart PHY maps the first VSG to a matching Principal Core interface if present; otherwise, it maps the first VSG to
the first matching video interface.
-
Cisco Smart PHY maps second, third, and fourth VSGs to the highest numbered matching video interfaces.
Cisco Smart PHY reorders video interfaces and VSGs, so that a video interface that matches the Principal Core interface and
the associated VSGs are listed first.
|
RF Parameters
|
Base Power (dBmV) |
Configure the base channel power level. Enter the value based on the type of RPD.
-
Node RPDs: 20-22
-
Shelf RPDs: 24–61
|
Tilt Pivot Freq (Hz) |
Configure the frequency of the tilt pivot point. The valid range is 0-121800000. Tilt pivot point is the maximum frequency
point where the Tilt Slope is applicable.
|
Tilt Slope (dBmV) |
Configure the tilt slope. The valid range is 0–8. |
RF Power Adjust Profile |
You can override the RF Power Adjust Profile. This is optional. For more information, see RF Power Adjust Profile.
|
Additional Cores |
Device Name |
You can add additional unmanaged Cores to the GCP Redirect list by selecting them here. You can select multiple additional cores. You can configure multiple unmanaged Cores. If an
unmanaged core is already selected as the DOCSIS Principal Core, it cannot be configured again as an additional core. Thus, the unmanaged Principal Core and the unmanaged Additional Core
fields are mutually exclusive.
|
RPD Software |
Principal Core SSD Profile |
If the Principal Core is a managed cBR-8 router, then you can use this option to set the Secure Software Download (SSD) profile
ID. If the Principal Core is unmanaged or you do not wish to set the SSD profile ID, leave this field empty.
