Customizing the Cable Access Router Interface
Different geographical regions and different cable plants use different frequency bands. The
Cisco uBR900 series cable access router uses a built-in default frequency scanning feature to address
this issue. After the cable access router finds a successful downstream frequency channel, it saves
the channel and power setting to NVRAM. The cable access router recalls this value the next time it
needs to synchronize its frequency or register with the cable service provider’s CMTS.
However, you can customize the cable access router’s interface configuration if you need to deviate
from the default setting that ships with the unit. For example, you might need to specify a different
compliant mode, modify the saved downstream channel setting and upstream power value, or enable
a faster downstream search algorithm.
Note Most cable network scenarios will not require you to use these commands.
To customize the cable access router interface, perform the following tasks, starting in global
configuration mode:
Step Command Purpose
1uBR924(config)#interface cable-modem 0 Specify cable access router interface 0.
2uBR924(config-if)#cable-modem compliant bridge Enable DOCSIS-compliant bridging.
