Cisco Systems UBR904 manual Debug cable-modem mac, Syntax Description

RNG-REQ/RNG-RSP
verbose keyword.
Sample Displays
Figure 8 shows sample display output from the debug cable-modem mac log Privileged EXEC command. After the debug command is entered, the fields of the output are: the date, local time, seconds 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.
CMAC_LOG_WATCHDOG_TIMER
After initial ranging is successful (dhcp_state has been reached), further
messages and watchdog timer entries are suppressed from output, unless the verbose keyword suffix is used. For example, the debug cable-modem mac log verbose command is entered. Note that
entries while in the maintenance_state are normal when using the
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 want to view this information without entering debug mode, enter the show controller cable-modemnumber mac log command. The same information is displayed by both commands.
If the cable modem 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 cable modem scans for a downstream frequency. The debug cable-modem mac log command displays the log from oldest entry to newest entry.
