Monitoring and Troubleshooting Wideband Components

Monitoring Wideband Components

•

association

—Displays wideband-to-narrowband (traditional DOCSIS) channel association

information. The association of a wideband channel to a traditional DOCSIS downstream channel

is made when a primary downstream channel for the fiber node is configured with the

downstream

cable

command.

•

config—

Displays wideband channel configuration information.

•

counters—

Displays wideband channel statistics.

•

mapping—

Displays the mapping of RF channels to wideband channels.

To display wideband-to-narrowband channel association information, use

show hw-module bay

with

the

association

and

wideband-channel

keywords. If you specify a wideband channel number after

wideband-channel

, output is for that channel only. For example:

Router#

show hw-module bay 1/0/0 association wideband-channel 0

In the preceding example, the following information is displayed for each wideband channel:

•

WB channel—Wideband-cable interface (wideband channel).

•

BG ID—Bonding Group ID for the wideband channel.

•

Bundle num—The number of the virtual bundle interface in which the wideband channel is a

member.

•

NB channel—The slot/subslot/port of the primary downstream channel (narrowband channel or

traditional DOCSIS channel) for the wideband channel.

•

NB channel ID—Channel ID for the primary downstream channel.

•

Reserved CIR—The reserved committed information rate (CIR). Because CIR is not currently

supported for wideband traffic, reserved CIR is always 0.

•

Avail CIR—The part of the CIR that is currently available. Because CIR is not currently supported

for wideband traffic, available CIR is always 0.

To display configuration information for a wideband channel, use

show hw-module bay

with the

config

and

wideband-channel

keywords. If you do not specify a wideband channel number after

wideband-channel

, output is for all wideband channels. For example:

Router# show hw-module bay 1/0/0 config wideband-channel
