Troubleshooting Tips

To troubleshoot the configuration, perform the following tasks:

Make sure you are using the correct IP address.

Make sure the cable interface is not shut down. Use the show running-configcommand to check the cable interface status.

Configuring Routing

DOCSIS-compliant transparent bridging is the factory default configuration of the Cisco uBR900 series cable access router. To change the configuration of your cable access router from bridging to routing using the CLI, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

uBR924(config)# interface cable-modem0

Enters interface configuration mode for the cable

 

 

access router interface.

Step 2

 

 

uBR924(config-if)#no cable-modem compliant bridge

Turns off DOCSIS-compliant bridging.

 

uBR924(config-if)# no bridge-group 59

Removes the default bridge group assignment from

 

 

 

uBR924(config-if)# end

the cable interface.

 

Returns to global configuration mode.

 

 

Step 3

 

 

uBR924(config)# ip routing

Enables IP routing for the cable access router.

 

uBR924(config)# ip subnet-zero

Enables the use of subnet zero for interface addresses

 

 

 

uBR924(config)# ip route <IP address of CMTS>

and routing updates.

 

Creates a static route to the CMTS to make sure that

 

<subnet mask of CMTS>

 

 

ToD packets are properly routed out of the cable

 

 

access router.

Step 4

 

 

uBR924(config)# router rip

Enters router configuration mode and enables RIP on

 

 

the cable access router.
