Show Controllers Cable-Modem Field Descriptions (continued)

 

 

 

 

 

Field

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

data mcfilter

 

MAC control filter for data.

 

 

 

 

 

DS

 

Downstream Broadcom receiver chip number and ID.

 

 

 

 

 

US

 

Upstream Broadcom transmitter chip number and ID.

 

 

 

 

 

Tuner: status

 

Current status of the tuner.

 

 

 

 

 

Rx: tuner_freq

 

Downstream frequency (in Hz) that the Cisco uBR924 searched for and found.

 

 

 

 

 

symbol_rate

 

Downstream frequency in symbols per second.

 

 

 

 

 

local_freq

 

Frequency on which the transmitter and the tuner communicate.

 

 

 

 

 

snr_estimate

 

Estimate of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in Db X 1000.

 

 

 

 

 

ber_estimate

 

Estimate of bit error rate (always 0).

 

 

 

 

lock_threshold

Minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that the Cisco uBR924 will accept as a valid lock.

 

 

 

 

 

qam_mode

 

The modulation scheme used in the downstream direction.

 

 

 

 

 

Tx: tx_freq

 

Upstream frequency sent to the Cisco uBR924 by the CMTS in the UCD message.

 

 

 

 

 

power_level

 

Transmit power level as set in the hardware, expressed as a hexadecimal value. The

 

 

 

units are unique to the hardware used. Use the show controllers cable-modem 0 mac

 

 

 

state command to see the power level in dBmV.

 

 

 

 

 

symbol_rate

 

Upstream frequency in symbols per second.

 

 

 

 

 

TFTP server

 

IP address of the TFTP server at the headend.

 

 

 

 

 

TOD server

 

IP address of the time-of-day server at the headend.

 

 

 

 

 

Security server

 

IP address of the security server at the headend.

 

 

 

 

 

Timezone Offset

 

Correction received from the DHCP server to synchronize the Cisco uBR924 time clock

 

 

 

with the CMTS.

 

 

 

 

 

Config filename

 

Name of the file stored on the cable company’s TFTP server that contains operational

 

 

 

parameters for the Cisco uBR924.

 

 

 

 

 

buffer size

 

Size in bytes of the BCM3300 message buffers.

 

 

 

 

RX data PDU ring:

Indicates the memory location of the beginning of buffer information for the receive

 

 

 

data ring.

 

rx_head

 

Indicates current head buffer descriptor.

 

rx_p

 

Indicates current head packet descriptor.

 

 

 

 

RX MAC message ring:

Indicates the memory location of the beginning of buffer information for the receive

 

 

 

MAC message ring.

 

rx_head_mac

 

Indicates current head buffer descriptor.

 

rx_p_mac

 

Indicates current head packet descriptor.

 

 

 

 

 

TX BD ring:

 

Indicates the memory location of the beginning of buffer information for the transmit

 

 

 

buffer descriptor ring.

tx_count tx_head

head_txp tx_tail tail_txp

If tx_count is 0, or if tx_head and tx_tail are equal and there is no change for a period of time, it means there are packets stuck on the ring. This condition may be caused by the headend not giving grants.

The next packet descriptor to get used, along with its index.

The next packet descriptor to get sent, along with its index. When head_txp and tail_txp are the same, the transmit queue is empty.
