CMTS ubr10k

Im trying configure for the first time ubr10k. We have some ubr7k and we want migrate to the new one. We work with docsis 1.1 and now we need work with docsis 1.1 and 3.0 for the new modems.

Im trying put all modems working, but the speed is very bad, sometimes i cant test the speed. I lose packets to outside.

My configuration is:

card 1 4jacket-1
card 1/2 SPA-5X1GE-V2
card 1/3 SPA-1XTENGE-XFP-V2
card 1/1 2cable-dtcc
card 2/1 2cable-dtcc
card 8/0 ubr10k-clc-mc2020v license 20X20

remaining ratio

The bandwidth precent still has me confused but this is how I understand it. Someone may need to double check my math but, Looking at intergraded cable 8/0/0:0, you're allocating 25% of 50Mb(about max 8MHz downstream bandwidth @256QAM) and 2% of what's left over of Wideband8/0/0:0 rf-channel 0, you've used 50% for Wideband so that leaves 25Mbps.

So, 12.5Mbps(25%)+500kbps(2% remaining) would be max of 13Mbps on I8/0/0:0.

I run mine as follows.

interface Wideband-Cable1/0:0
cable bundle 1
cable rf-channel 0 bandwidth-percent 5 remaining ratio 100
cable rf-channel 1 bandwidth-percent 5 remaining ratio 100
cable rf-channel 2 bandwidth-percent 5 remaining ratio 100
cable rf-channel 3 bandwidth-percent 5 remaining ratio 100

cable bundle 1
cable rf-bandwidth-percent 5 remaining ratio 100
!
interface Integrated-Cable1/0:1
cable bundle 1
cable rf-bandwidth-percent 5 remaining ratio 100
!

This way each downstream channel has some bandwidth but either Wideband or Narrowband can use up too 100% of the available bandwidth per rd-channel.

ACFE

that's some old school math there. Why don't you just enable acfe and let the CMTS handle it for you?

RuiCerqueira
ACFE ???

Can you explain "ACFE"?

Fairness Across DOCSIS Interfaces

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/cable/configuration/guide/cmts_acfe....

Instead of hard setting your modular cable percents, you let the scheduler manage the available bandwidth between the narrow and wideband shared qams.

mbernardi
I wish I could

We just have 7200's. Specs call for a 10k and at least SCF. I'm on SCG, without a Cisco login for IOS.

Some suggestions

! these ones are a little suspect, I dont have them on my 20x20 system :
cable service attribute ds-bonded downstream-type bonding-enabled enforce
cable service attribute non-ds-bonded downstream-type bonding-disabled
cable clock dti

! if you are playing around with L2 MTU, be careful you havent broken your L3 MTU
! try adding this in
int gig1/2/0
ip mtu 1500

! some suggested tweaks for your mac-domain config
int cable 8/0/0

! noise/signal related
cable upstream 0 ingress-noise-cancellation 10
cable upstream 1 ingress-noise-cancellation 10
cable upstream 2 ingress-noise-cancellation 10
cable upstream 3 ingress-noise-cancellation 10
cable upstream 0 equalization-coefficient
cable upstream 1 equalization-coefficient
cable upstream 2 equalization-coefficient
cable upstream 3 equalization-coefficient

! upstream performance related
cable upstream 0 minislot-size 4
cable upstream 1 minislot-size 4
cable upstream 2 minislot-size 4
cable upstream 3 minislot-size 4

! Some suggested tweaks for your dynamic bandwidth sharing.
! Make sure you have remaining ratio set to 100 NB and WB interfaces can burst into any unused capacity.

DS 1 to 4 are showing 64QAM whereas your running conf said 256QAM
DS 1 to 3 have OK signal levels
DS 4 has terrible signal levels
DS 5-8 cant even be seen any more

Have you been tinkering with the CMTS config? Making changes to the headend wiring or combining?

Do you have a spectrum analyser you can plug in and inspect the downstreams?

RuiCerqueira
QAM 256 / QAM 64

I find the problem.

When i restart the ubr10k i have problems with the QAM256. I need change the downstream to 64QAM and all modems works well, then i change again to 256QAM i all modems start working with 256QAM.

I think this problem is not normal, someone have this problem?

JCarpy
Default - QAM

Default is 64QAM. However, the IOS allows you to change to 256QAM if so desired.

Higher modulation schema,

Higher modulation schema, higher SNR level require on HF Plant. What is your SNR on your HF plant ?
