Configuring Cable Modem Interface Features

The cable interface in the Cisco uBR7200 series router supports downstream and upstream signals, and
serves as the cable TV radio frequency (RF) interface. The downstream signal is output as an
intermediate-frequency (IF) signal suitable for use with an external upconverter. Your cable plant,
combined with your planned and installed subscriber base, service offering, and external network
connections, determines the combination of cable interfaces, network uplink line cards, and other
components that you should use.
The Cisco IOS software command-line interface (CLI) can be used to configure the Cisco cable interface
line card for correct operation on the hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) cable network. This chapter describes
the several required and optional tasks that configure the Cisco cable interface line card.
For additional information about CMs on the HFC network, refer to
Note
