I obtained an ancient Cisco uBR7223 and got a test DOCSIS 1.0 network up and running very quickly using Cisco's "Configuring DHCP, ToD, TFTP services on Cisco's CMTS: All-In-One Configuration". Attempting to get BPI+ working has proving quite a challenge. The root-cert would not install until I downgraded from the last release 12.3(23)BC7 to 12.2BC series. So now that I finally got the root-cert installed, I keep getting :
UBR7200-3-AUTH_INVALID_UNAUTHORIZED_CM
reading Cisco documentation concerning the error message simply states:
Explanation: The specified cable modem failed to register with BPI+ authorization because this cable modem is not authorized to use the cable network. The cable modem should not attempt to reregister.
Recommended Action: No action needed if this cable modem is correctly marked as unauthorized. Otherwise, check the provisioning software to make sure the MAC address for this cable modem is entered correctly.
I don't really have provisioning software per se, I'm creating a DOCSIS file and uploading it to a tftp server and pointing the CM to the server and file via DHCP. I have a feeling that the issues is in the DOCSIS file I'm generating.
This explanation of check your provisioning software seems entirely to vague to be useful to me. Any enlightenment would gladly be accepted.
I checked out that article on
I checked out that article on cisco's site my guess is that the config you are generating is missing a required parameter
what the article shows
cable config-file platinum.cm
service-class 1 max-upstream 128
service-class 1 guaranteed-upstream 10
service-class 1 max-downstream 10000
service-class 1 max-burst 1600
cpe max 10
timestamp
or something similar
what you probably need
cable config-file platinum.cm
service-class 1 max-upstream 128
service-class 1 guaranteed-upstream 10
service-class 1 max-downstream 10000
service-class 1 max-burst 1600
cpe max 10
timestamp

You may also want to stay with the 12.3 train since the 12.2 train current IOS has dropped support for 7223 and older line cards in the latest revisions
I had a 7223 out there until recently with 12.3.13 or 12.3.21 without too much trouble with BPI+ and everything
