Configuring Headend Broadband Access Router Features

Setting Service Options

Troubleshooting Tips

To troubleshoot the configuration, perform the following tasks:

Make sure you entered the correct port and cable modem card slot number when you activated DHCP giaddr.

A DOCSIS-based DHCP server is required. The DHCP server verifies that the “fixed” IP address, if any, returned to the host is valid for the IP subnet on that downstream interface. The IP address must be unique and valid in the subnet for the end user to obtain connectivity.

Setting Service Options

The following sections describe configurable service options for the Cisco uBR7200 series.

Configuring ToD Service

To activate ToD service for the Cisco uBR7200 series, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

CMTS01(config)# cable time-server enable

Enables ToD service for the Cisco uBR7200 series.

 

 

To disable ToD service (the default) after it has been enabled, enter the no cable time-servercommand or the cable time-server disable command in global configuration mode.

Verifying ToD Service

To verify whether or not ToD service has been activated, enter the show running-configcommand and look for the global cable configuration information. If ToD service has been activated, an entry will appear in this output. If ToD service has been deactivated, no entry will appear in this output.

Troubleshooting Tips

To troubleshoot the configuration, make sure you are in global configuration mode.

Setting Optional IP Parameters

Additional IP parameters can be set to enable downstream echoing of upstream data. To configure these optional IP parameters, perform the tasks in the following sections:

Activating IP Multicast Echo

Activating IP Broadcast Echo

Note The default values for the commands used in these configuration steps are adequate in most cases to configure the Cisco uBR7200 series.
