Skill Based Objective
Given basic information and “show” commands from a Cisco CMTS, the
learner will be able to identify what platform and modules are being used.
They will also be able to describe the HFC topology and describe the
current state of the cable interfaces.

Why is it important to describe how a CMTS is set-up?
You can better isolate what may be causing the issue.
You can better collaborate with the WW-CABLE engineers.
Customers will be impressed.

uBR10k Performance Routing Engines
The PRE module is a single-slot module used with the Cisco uBR10012
universal broadband routers.
The PRE performs all Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet routing and forwarding.
PRE modules support redundant operation when installing two PRE
modules in a Cisco uBR10012 chassis. If the active PRE fails, the standby
PRE automatically takes over operation of the chassis.

Cable line Cards for uBR10k
UBR10-5x20S-D, UBR10-5x20U-D, UBR10-5x20H-D
Five downstream (DS) ports and twenty upstream (US) ports.
5x20 cards support up to five cable MAC domains.
Typically each mac domain consists of 1 downstream and 4 upstream channels.
UBR-MC20X20V
Five downstream (DS) ports and twenty upstream (US) ports
The line card supports five cable MAC domains, and the 20 DS and 20 US channels are dynamically
associated with any of these five MAC domains.
Each of the US ports support either two-frequency stacked US channels across ten ports or a single
US channel across twenty ports.
Each of the DS ports supports four-frequency stacked channels across five ports.
uBR-MC3GX60V
72 downstream (DS) and 60 upstream (US) channels
The line card supports 15 cable MAC domains.
The DS and US channels can be associated with any of these 15 MAC domains.
Each MAC domain supports a maximum of 32 DS and 8 US channels.\

Basic Configuration
and “show” Commands
Every online cable modem must lock onto a downstream carrier and upstream
carrier in order to have bi-directional communication.
The coaxial cable which reaches the modem must be carrying both US and DS
frequencies.
