Cisco cBR-8 Converged Cable Access Router Supervisor 160G
The Supervisor is the processor of the Cisco cBR. It consists of a forward processor (FP) complex and route
processor (RP) complex.
The FP complex performs data forwarding, baseline router packet operations including MAC classification,
Layer 2 and the various Layer 3 forwarding, QoS classification, security ACLs, VPNs, policing, shaping, load
balancing, and Netflow, egress packet buffering, queueing, and egress packet scheduling functions. The FP
complex supports firewall, intrusion prevention, Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR), Network
Address Translation (NAT), flexible pattern matching, tunneling protocols, and header and payload compression.
The RP complex performs route processing, Cisco cBR chassis management, and runs the network operating
system and its controls.
The Supervisor supports:
• Eight Ten Gigabit Ethernet backhaul interfaces.
• 1+1 active/standby redundancy.
• Chassis management of the Cisco cBR including activation and initialization of the other cards, selection
• DOCSIS Timing Interface (DTI) client and server ports.
• Online insertion and removal (OIR).
The Supervisor consists of the following field replaceable units (FRUs):
• Supervisor Card
• Supervisor physical interface card (PIC)
The Cisco cBR-8 supports:
• Two 160G Supervisor Cards
• Two 8x10G Supervisor PICs
Supervisor Card
The Supervisor Card is the route processor of the Cisco cBR and includes integrated backhaul capability. It
is installed in the front of the Cisco cBR chassis. The plastic latch maintains the alignment of the spring-loaded
ejector with the faceplate. The Supervisor Card has a tethered door to allow access to the ports on its faceplate.
and switch over of the active and standby cards, image management and distribution, logging facilities,
distribution of user configuration information .
