In Scope
The scope of the Cisco Cable Wideband Solution, Release 1.0, comprises fully tested and supported
Cisco and Scientific Atlanta components, as well as selected third-party components tested for
interoperability by Cisco. The following aspects of the solution are in scope:
DOCSIS 3.0 Downstream Channel Bonding software
One or more downstream wideband channels with RF channel bonding
Wideband CMTS (Cisco uBR10012 router) including cable interface and network uplink line cards
Cisco Wideband SIP and Cisco Wideband SPA
Edge QAM device
Wideband cable modem
Wideband-related cable modem configuration file parameters
Cisco IOS command set for wideband-channel configuration, provisioning, and maintenance
Cisco IOS command set for wideband hardware monitoring, troubleshooting, and debugging
MIBs for the wideband CMTS, wideband cable modem, and wideband channel and service statistics
Device configuration that is in scope for this document is limited to the Wideband SIP and Wideband
SPA. Comprehensive documentation for other CMTS components is provided in the existing
Cisco uBR10012 documentation set, which is accessible at www.cisco.com.
