Introduction
The Cisco cBR Series Converged Broadband Router (Cisco cBR) is an Edge Services platform designed for
cable MSOs. It supports the RF and Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) interfaces
of a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) and digital optical interfaces such as Passive Optical Networks
(PON) and point-to-point Ten Gigabit Ethernet.
The Cisco cBR supports video including both traditional MPEG video and Video over IP over DOCSIS
(VDOC). The advantage of Cisco cBR is the ability to support MPEG video and VDOC in the same platform
allowing transition from MPEG to VDOC. The Cisco cBR is a single device that manages the entire RF
spectrum of the cable plant.
The Cisco cBR provides high-speed data, broadband, and IP telephony services to residential and commercial
subscribers using cable modems or digital set-top boxes (STBs). It supports data and digitized voice connectivity
over a bidirectional cable television and IP backbone network. And uses advanced quality of service (QoS)

Functional Overview

techniques to ensure that real-time traffic such as voice can be reliably delivered, while still transmitting other
traffic on a best-effort basis.
The Cisco cBR concentrates traffic from two-way DOCSIS-based cable modems and STBs that is transmitted
over the coaxial cable television (CATV) network, and presents that traffic to local and remote Internet Protocol
(IP) hosts over its high-speed network uplink interfaces.
The Cisco cBR runs on the Cisco IOS-XE networking software and supports the most advanced networking
and routing options.

Functional Overview
The Cisco cBR provides the following network solutions:
High speed data access over DOCSIS
Video over DOCSIS
Voice services over DOCSIS
Business services over DOCSIS
MPEG transport-based video distribution
Videoscape management system integration
Data plane optimization to carry ABR traffic including monitoring of quality of service
Assistance with the support of legacy devices in a Videoscape environment
Video cache integration
The path from the Cisco CMTS to the cable modem or STB is the downstream, which carries the majority of
traffic over the cable interface.
The path from the cable modem or STB to the Cisco CMTS is the upstream, and it carries approximately 10
percent of the traffic that is sent over the downstream.
A large number of users can be assigned to the same downstream, and for efficient use of bandwidth, those
users can be split among several different upstream.
The following sections contain information about:

Upstream Data Path

The following example describes the upstream data path.
1 A request for service is generated by a subscriber. The modem transmits the request as a series of packets
to the Cisco CMTS on the upstream.
2 The cable line card receives the packets on its upstream interface and forwards them to its onboard processor.
3 The line card processor verifies the header check sequence (HCS), frame check sequence (FCS), and
system identification number (SID), processes all fields in the DOCSIS MAC header, and then removes
the header.

What is a Cisco cBR Series Converged Broadband Router

Downstream Data Path

a The line card examines and processes the extended headers (Request, Acknowledgment, Privacy, PHSs
and Unsolicited Grand Synchronization header elements). If Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI) is used,
the processor also decrypts the Privacy EH frames using the appropriate key.
b Bandwidth requests, acknowledgment (ACK) requests, and unsolicited grant syncs are reformatted
and passed to the request ring of the Cisco cable line card.
c The DOCSIS MAC header is removed and another header is added, which includes the SID, the
upstream port information, and status bits that indicate whether any errors were detected.
4 The packet is sent across the backplane to the forwarding processor (FP) or the routing processor (RP) on
the route processor.
5 The route processor performs packet operations such as access list processing, classification, switching,
and QoS. It is also where major routing and IOS management functions (filtering) are run.
6 The packet is moved to the correct output queue and transmitted over the backplane to the network uplink
card (Ten Gigabit Ethernet) or another cable interface line card.
7 The output card forwards the packet to the next interface point.

Downstream Data Path

The following example describes the downstream data path.
1 Data packets from the Internet are received by the network uplink cards (Ten Gigabit Ethernet).
2 The packets are forwarded to the forwarding processor (FP) on the Supervisor module.
3 The FP performs MAC classification to determine the type of frame or packet to be processed.
4 The route processor performs access list filtering, policing, and marking.
5 The route processor performs a forwarding information base (FIB) lookup and rewrite.
a The rewrite consists of a downstream header and 802.3 MAC header.
b The downstream header contains destination primary SID, physical DS port number, PHS rule index,
and some control bits and other fields.
c The packet is policed, shaped, and prepared for queueing. Queueing is based on the priority of the
queue and the state of the flow bits from the card. The destination card address (port) is pre-appended
on the header of the packet being transmitted.
6 The packet is transmitted over the backplane to the appropriate cable interface line card.
7 The cable interface line card receives the packet and forwards it to all the ASICs on the line card.
a Each ASIC decodes the header to determine if the packet is destined for one of the downstream ports
on that card. If so, the downstream header is removed and the 802.3 MAC header is saved.
b The MAC header is processed to determine how to build the DOCSIS MAC header and what operations
to perform on the packet. These might include pre-appending the DOCSIS MAC header, computing
the HCS and FCS, performing Packet Header Suppression, and BPI encryption.
8 After the packet is ready, it is immediately transmitted on the downstream.

Interface Cards
The Cisco cBR uses two types of interface line cards - the Subscriber Side Interface (SSI) card, and the
Network Side Interface (NSI) card. The SSI Card is the RF line card in the Cisco cBR router. The NSI Card
provides high speed back haul capabilities in addition to the Supervisor Card. The Cisco cBR chassis has
separate slots for SSI Cards and NSI Cards. The SSI Card can be inserted in an NSI Card slot. However, an
NSI Card cannot be inserted into the SSI Card slot.
The front of the RF line card has spring-loaded ejectors with plastic latches, on both sides of the interface line
card. The plastic latch maintains the spring-loaded ejector's alignment with the faceplate.
The line cards have perforated grill faceplate that allow air flow into the card. There is a removable filter in
the front panel of the line card. This filter filters the air flowing into the chassis through the perforated grill
faceplate.
All interface cards in the Cisco cBR-8 chassis are designed for High Availability (HA) with a N+1 redundancy
scheme. The Cisco cBR-8 supports the following interface cards:

Cooling System of the Cisco cBR Chassis

Each Fan Module has two fans and a control board. The fans in each Fan Module are synchronized and operate
at variable speeds as set by the Supervisor. Fan speeds are determined based on ambient temperature and
pressure. When the chassis boots up, the operating speed of the fans is set to the default number of revolutions
per minute (RPM) in unsupervised mode. The multi Fan Module cooling architecture permits only one fan
failure at any time in any given Fan Module during normal operational conditions. All the remaining fans are
capable of changing to full speed operation to compensate for the failed fan or module.
Each fan bay has one hinged rear door and one sliding side door which close when a Fan Module is removed
for replacement. This prevents re-circulation of air which could lead to the system overheating. The multi
cooling architecture permits only one fan failure at any time in any given during normal operational conditions.
All the remaining fans are capable of changing to full speed operation to compensate for the failed fan or
module.
Ensure that all Fan Module bays have functioning Fan Modules. If a Fan Module is removed, replace it with
a functioning Fan Module within one minute of the removal in order to avoid critical thermal alarms relating
to overheating of individual components.

Cooling System of the Cisco cBR Chassis

The Fan Modules in the Cisco cBR chassis are controlled by the Supervisor Card. Until the Supervisor Card
boots up, the fans spin at default speed of 11000 RPM. After Supervisor Card boot-up, the Supervisor Card
controls the fan speeds, based on the temperature of the air entering the chassis and the barometric pressure
reported by the sensors in the Fan Modules.
Failure Responses and Fan Speed Variations
The fan module will change speed based on the following conditions:

Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Hardware Installation Guide

41

What is a Cisco cBR Series Converged Broadband Router

Air Filter

When communication with the Supervisor Card is lost, both the fans in the Fan Module are set the 11,000
RPM default speed mode until communication is established. If the fans were running above 11,000
RPM default when communication was lost, the fans continue to operate at the elevated speeds until
they are power cycled.
If a fan is considered to have failed if it operates at +/- 1000rpm from the set point. All fans are elevated
in speed based on facility air inlet temperature to the Supervisor Card as safety measure, by a temperature
sensor on the Supervisor Card. The front panel LED of the Fan Module indicates an amber color LED.
If there is an indication of a fan failure the Supervisor Card sets all the fan modules to a higher RPM
value based on the inlet temperature on the Supervisor Card. The Supervisor Card sets the following
values:
1 13,000RPM (194CFM) for T30C
2 14,500RPM (218 CFM) for 30<T 40C
3 16,000RPM (239 CFM) for T>40C
If there are more than 2 fan failures, the speed of the remaining fans automatically default to 16,000
RPM.
A fan operating at speeds between 301 and 999 RPM from the set point, is considered a minor fan alarm.
The fan speeds are not elevated in case of a minor alarm. The Fan Module amber LED is illuminated.
When the chassis is booted and a fan is missing or removed the Supervisor Card sets all the other
operational fans to 16,000 RPM. The chassis will not boot with a missing Fan Module. When a working
Fan Module is replaced and all the other Fan Modules are working correctly the Supervisor Card will
return all the fans to their normal operational speed. When a Fan Module is initially removed the
Supervisor Card sets all the remaining fans to run at 13,000 RPM for 10 seconds, 14,500 RPM for 30
seconds, ramping to 15,000RPM for the next 30 seconds and then ramping to 16,000RPM until all the
Fan Modules are again shown present.

Note

Variations in speeds occur to regulate the internal component temperatures. Such speed variations are
normal, in the absence of any alarms. For more details, see Monitoring the Fan Modules.

Air Filter
The air filter is a field replaceable unit on the Supervisor and RF line cards that remove dust from the room
air drawn into the chassis by the cooling fans. It is recommended that you examine the air filter once a month
or more. Do not clean and re-use the air filters. They must be replaced either when they are clogged or worn
out.

Note

You can remove and install an air filter when the Cisco cBR router is powered on and working

Cisco IOS-XE Software

Cisco IOS-XE Software

The Cisco cBR Series Converged Broadband Router (Cisco cBR) runs the Cisco IOS-XE software, which
is stored on the Type II PCMCIA flash memory disks stored in the two PCMCIA slots in the primary route
processor module. A PCMCIA flash memory disk in either slot can store a Cisco software image or
configuration file. In addition to the flash memory disks, each route processor module contains onboard flash
memory that is used to store a boot loader. The loader executes following a system reset to reload and execute
the Cisco IOS-XE software on the flash memory disks.
The route processor module also stores the system configuration in the onboard flash memory. The configuration
information read from the flash memory is buffered in operational memory following initialization, and is
written to the flash memory device when the configuration is saved. Each line card also contains onboard
flash memory that is used to store a boot loader, similar in function to that used on the route processor module.
However, the line card loader executes following a system reset, line card reset, or line card insertion to reload
and execute any code that must run on the line card. Software images may also be stored on an external TFTP
server. If the Cisco cBR is so configured, it then downloads the proper image from the TFTP server and
executes it.

NEBS Level 3 Compliance

The Cisco cBR is designed to meet Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Level 3 compliance.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic cards or components are improperly handled,
and can result in complete or intermittent failures. All line cards consist of a printed circuit card that is fixed
in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of
the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the cards from ESD, use an antistatic strap each time
you handle the modules. Handle the carriers by the edges only; never touch the cards or connector pins.

Caution

Always tighten the captive installation screws on all system components when you are installing them.
These screws prevent accidental removal of the module, provide proper grounding for the system, and
help to ensure that the line card connectors are properly seated in the backplane. To ensure proper grounding
and mechanical support, the captive screws on the front cards should be tightened to 10-12 in-lbs and the
rear PIC cards should be tightened to 6-8 in-lbs. Never use cordless or corded drills to tighten screws;
power screwdrivers and hand tools are acceptable.
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static
electricity from your body before you touch any of your system components. As you continue to work on
your system, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
The following guidelines can prevent ESD damage:
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Before
removing a card from the chassis, ensure that the chassis is grounded to the rack.
Handle line cards by the faceplate and carrier edges only; avoid touching the card components or any
connector pins.
When removing a card, place the removed module component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a
static-shielding bag. If the module will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding
bag.
Avoid contact between the modules and clothing. The wrist-strap protects the card from ESD voltages
on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it an antistatic container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench
pads.

Caution

For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohms.

Plant Wiring Guidelines

When planning the location of the new system, consider the distance limitations for signaling, EMI, and
connector compatibility, as described in the following sections.

Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Hardware Installation Guide

49

Prepare to Install
Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Warning

This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building
installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.Statement 1045.

Interference Considerations
When wires are run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur between
the field and the signals on the wires. This fact has two implications for the construction of plant wiring:
Bad wiring practice can result in radio interference emanating from the plant wiring.
Strong EMI, especially when it is caused by lightning or radio transmitters, can destroy the signal drivers
and receivers in this equipment, and can even create an electrical hazard by conducting power surges
through lines and into equipment. (Review the safety warnings.)

Note

To predict and remedy strong EMI, you may also need to consult experts in radio frequency interference
(RFI).
If wires exceed recommended distances, or if wires pass between buildings, give special consideration to the
effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by lightning or other high-energy
phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you
have had problems of this sort in the past, you may want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and
shielding.

Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off
switch for the room in which you are working.
Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
Do not work alone in potentially hazardous conditions.
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension
cables, and missing safety grounds.

Chassis-Lifting Guidelines
A fully loaded configured system can weigh up to 430 lbs. The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently.
Before you install the system, ensure that your site is properly prepared so you can avoid having to move the
chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.
You must use a hydraulic lift or forklift to move a fully populated chassis.

General Rack Installation Guidelines

When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:

Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Hardware Installation Guide

51

Prepare to Install
General Rack Installation Guidelines

The Cisco cBR-8 router requires a minimum of 13 rack units (22.75 inches or 57.785 cm) of vertical
rack space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.
Before using a rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair the rack-mount
installation. If a power strip impairs the rack-mount installation, remove the power strip before installing
the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.
Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it back
near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving cards,
connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 36 inches (91.44 cm) of
access to remove field-replaceable units.

Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Hardware Installation Guide

52

Prepare to Install
General Rack Installation Guidelines

Maintain a minimum clearance of 4 inches (10.16 cm) on the front, and rear of the chassis for the cooling
air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. In addition, there is a small air inlet area on the front right side
of the chassis in front of the mounting ear and a small exhaust area on the rear left hand side.
Figure 22: Minimum Clearance Area

Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or directly next to another equipment rack;
otherwise, the heated exhaust air from the other equipment can enter the inlet air vents and cause a high
temperature condition inside the router.

Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Hardware Installation Guide

53

Prepare to Install
Cabling Guidelines

Caution

To prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco cBR-8 router in an enclosed room that is not properly
ventilated or air conditioned.
Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to prevent
the rack from falling over.
Install and use the cable-management accessories included with the Cisco cBR-8 router to keep cables
organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. Ensure that cables from other equipment
already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to disconnect cables
unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.
Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.
Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your Cisco cBR-8 chassis.

Cabling Guidelines
The size of your networks and the distances between connections depend on the type of signal, the signal
speed, and the transmission media (the type of cabling used to transmit the signals). For example, standard
coaxial cable has a greater channel capacity than twisted-pair cabling. The distance and rate limits in the
following descriptions are the IEEE recommended maximum speeds and distances for signaling; however,
you can usually get good results at speeds and distances far greater than these. For example, the recommended
maximum rate for V.35 is 2 Mbps, but it is commonly used at 4 Mbps without any problems. If you understand
the electrical problems that might arise and can compensate for them, you should get good results with rates
and distances greater than those shown here; however, do so at your own risk.
When preparing your site for network connections to the chassis, you must consider a number of factors
related to each type of interface:
Type of cabling required for each type (fiber, thick or thin coaxial, foil twisted-pair, or unshielded
twisted-pair cabling)
Distance limitations for each signal type
Specific cables you need to connect each interface
The extent of your network and the distances between network interface connections depend in part on the
following factors:
Signal type
Signal speed
Transmission medium

Installation Methods
The Cisco cBR-8 router can be either mounted on the rack at the front or in the middle. Also, the router can
be either mounted on a standard 19-inch wide four-post equipment rack unit or a two-post rack unit.

Note

The Cisco cBR-8 router usually ships fully loaded. Due to a fully configured system weighing approximately
430 lbs, components must be removed from the chassis to make the chassis lighter for rack installation.
Remove all power supplies, supervisor cards, line cards, rear PIC cards and fan modules before
rack-mounting to reduce the weight to approximately 117 lbs. For instructions on how to remove the
components, see the monitoring sections.

Note

Make sure you place the cards and modules in an anti-static bag until you install the chassis in the rack.

Before You Begin

Attach the Chassis Ground Connection.
Install the DC Power Cassette Module.
Install the DC FPIM.
Install the DC Power Modules.
The color coding of the DC-input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC power
source at your site. Typically, green or green/yellow is used for ground (GND), black is used for -48V
on negative (-) terminal and red is used for RTN on the positive (+) terminal. Ensure that the lead color
coding you choose for the DC-input power supply matches lead color coding used at the DC power
source.
For DC input power cables, select the appropriate wire gauge based on the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and local codes for 60-amp service at nominal DC input voltage (-48 VDC). Two pairs of cable
leads, source DC (-) and source DC return (+) on P-A and P-B, can be used for each DC Power Module.
These cables are available from any commercial cable vendor. All input power cables for the chassis
must have the same wire gauge.

Note

You do not need to connect power to both P-A and P-B feeds for each DC Power Module.
The DC Power Modules can operate even with one power input connected.

Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Hardware Installation Guide

94

Installing the Power System in the Cisco cBR Chassis

Connecting Power to the DC-Powered Cisco cBR Chassis

Each DC input power cable is terminated at the FPEM by a cable lug (included in the accessory kit).
The cable lugs must be dual-hole, and have a 90 degree tongue (reference Panduit LCD4-14AF-L). They
must be able to fit over 1/4-20 terminal studs on 0.625 in (15.88 mm) centers and have a maximum
tongue width of 0.6 inches.

Note

DC input power cables must be connected to the FPEM terminal studs in the proper
positive (+) and negative (-) polarity. Some DC cable leads are labeled, which is a
relatively safe indication of the polarity. However, you must verify the polarity by
measuring the voltage between the DC cable leads. When measuring the voltage, the
positive (+) lead and the negative (-) lead must always match the (+) and (-) labels on
the power distribution unit.

To avoid hazardous conditions, all components in the area where DC input power is accessible must be
properly insulated. Therefore, before installing the DC cable lugs, ensure to insulate the lugs according
to the manufacturer's instructions.

Caution

Before installing the DC cable lugs, insulate the entire 90 degree portion of the lugs
where the wire is crimped to avoid hazardous conditions where DC input power is
accessible through the terminal block cover of the DC FPEM.

About OIR
Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) was developed to enable you to replace faulty parts without affecting
system operation. When a card is inserted, power is available on the card, and it initializes itself to start
working.
Hot swap functionality allows the system to determine when a change occurs in the unit's physical configuration,
and reallocate the unit's resources to allow all interfaces to function adequately. This feature allows interfaces
on the card to be reconfigured while other interfaces on the router remain unchanged. The interrupt routine
must ensure that the interrupt line has reached a stable state.
The software performs the necessary tasks involved in handling the removal and insertion of the card. A
hardware interrupt is sent to the software subsystem when a hardware change is detected, and the software
reconfigures the system:
When a card is inserted, it is analyzed and initialized in such a way that the end user can configure it
properly. The initialization routines used during OIR are the same as those called when the router is
powered on. System resources, also handled by software, are allocated to the new interface.
When a card is removed, the resources associated with the empty slot must either be freed or altered to
indicate the change in its status.

Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Hardware Installation Guide

217

Online Insertion and Removal of Cards on the Cisco cBR

What Does an OIR Do?

What Does an OIR Do?

When an OIR is performed, the router:
1 Rapidly scans the backplane for configuration changes.
2 Initializes all newly inserted interfaces and places them in the administratively shut down state.
3 Brings all previously configured interfaces on the card back to the state they were in when they were
removed. Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shut down state.
The only effect on the routing tables is that routes through a removed interface are deleted, as are routes
learned through that interface. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache is selectively flushed, and
routing caches are completely flushed.
If a card is reinserted into the same slot from which it was removed, or if an identical card is inserted in its
place, many of the control blocks from the previous installation are reused. This is necessary due to the
implementation by Cisco IOS-XE software of certain control blocks, and has the benefit of saving the
configuration from the previously installed card.

Guidelines for Performing an OIR

It is always safer to power down the router when you perform any hardware changes, but here are some
recommendations if you need to perform an OIR. The system may indicate a hardware failure if you do not
follow proper procedures.
Insert only one card at a time; you must allow the system time to complete the preceding tasks before
you remove or insert another interface processor. If you disrupt the sequence before the system completes
its verification, it can cause the system to detect spurious hardware failures.
Insert the cards swiftly and firmly, but do not shove them in.
If present, be sure to use the little plastic levers on the side of the card to lock the card in.
If the OIR is successful, there is absolutely no need to schedule a reload of the router.
If you get a LONGSTALL message after an OIR, or a CPUHOG during the OIR process, but encounter no
other problems, you may safely ignore those messages.

OIR on Cisco cBR

OIR is supported on the following FRUs in a Cisco cBR Series Router:

It is always safer to power down the router when you perform any hardware changes, but here are some
recommendations if you need to perform an OIR. The system may indicate a hardware failure if you do not
follow proper procedures.
Insert only one card at a time; you must allow the system time to complete the preceding tasks before
you remove or insert another interface processor. If you disrupt the sequence before the system completes
its verification, it can cause the system to detect spurious hardware failures.
Insert the cards swiftly and firmly, but do not shove them in.
If present, be sure to use the little plastic levers on the side of the card to lock the card in.
If the OIR is successful, there is absolutely no need to schedule a reload of the router.
Please refer to hardware installation guide to do any card insertion and removal.
Supervisor Card and Supervisor PIC support OIR without any software operation, but here are some
recommendations if you need to perform OIR of Supervisor Card and Supervisor PIC:
Check Active/Standby state of the Supervisor Card or Supervisor PIC, which will perform OIR, by
executing the show redundancy command.
Execute the redundancy force-switchover command if the location of the Supervisor Card or Supervisor
PIC is on active slot.
Perform OIR .

Verifying Status after an OIR

Execute the show platform command to check the status.

Overview of Firmware Images and Packages

With the Cisco cBR Series Routers, the Cisco IOS-XE image comes with the bundled firmware images and
packages. In case of a firmware incompatibility, an error message is displayed notifying that an upgrade to a
compatible firmware is required.
You can view the current firmware images and packages on your router, using the methods outlined in the
following sections.

Displaying Current and Minimum Required FPD Image Versions

To display the current version of FPD images on the FRUs installed on your router, use the show hw-module
[slot/subslot | all] fpd command, where slot is the slot number where the FRU is installed, and subslot is the
number of the FRU subslot where a target FRU is located. Entering the all keyword shows information for
hardware in all router slots.
The following examples show the output when using this show command. The output display in this example
shows that FPD versions on the FRUs in the system meet the minimum requirements:
Router# show hw-module all fpd
==== ====================== ====== =============================================
H/W Field Programmable Current Min. Required
Slot Card Type Ver. Device: "ID-Name" Version Version

Programmable Hardware Devices in the Cisco cBR

The Cisco cBR-8 Series router has programmable hardware devices that are run by firmware that require
upgrades to deploy new features and functions. The following are the two types of programmable hardware
devices on the Cisco cBR-8.
Field-Prgrammable Devices (FPD)The components on the Supervisor card, the RF Through PIC, the
RF Protect PIC, and the Supervisor PIC are examples of FPDs.
HW-Programmable DevicesThe ROM Monitor, the Fan Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC), the
line card firmware, the line card PSoC and the Supervisor complex programmable logic device (CPLD)
are examples of the HW-Programmable devices
Firmware Upgrades for the Cisco cBR
The following three types of firmware upgrades are available for the Cisco cBR-8 Series router:
Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) images bundled into the Cisco IOS-XE software image, like
certain Supervisor and LC components.
FPD images packages that are upgraded separately or with the Cisco IOS-XE software image upgrade,
like the PIC images.
HW-Programmable device upgrades that include ROM Monitor (ROMMON) upgrades, Universal Boot
(U-boot) upgrades, PSoC and CPLD upgrades.
Link to Download the Latest Packages
Select and download the latest firmware packages from the following URL:
Firmware Image download

Bundled FPGA Images

The Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) images are bundled in the Cisco IOS-XE software image. These
FPGA images are automatically installed when the Cisco IOS-XE software image is upgraded.
Two methods may be used to upgrade the Cisco IOS-XE software image, as outlined in the following sections.

Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Hardware Installation Guide

228

Upgrading the Programmable Hardware Devices in the Cisco cBR

Upgrading Your Cisco IOS-XE Release and FPD Image

Upgrading Your Cisco IOS-XE Release and FPD Image

To upgrade your Cisco IOS-XE release and your FPD image, do the following steps:

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3

Download the package for the Cisco IOS-XE release that you are upgrading to. The package contains both the Cisco
IOS-XE image and the FPD image.
Boot the new version of Cisco IOS-XE. When the new version of Cisco IOS-XE boots, search for the bundled FPD
image. The FPD images will be updated automatically as part of the Cisco IOS-XE boot process.
When the router has booted, verify the upgrade was successful by entering the show hw-module all fpd command.
The time for updating the FPGA can be read in the log messages. The following is a sample for the log message:
#show hw-module all fpd

NOTES: FPD images that are required to be upgraded are indicated with a '*' character in the "Minimal
Required Version" field.

Upgrading Only Your Cisco IOS-XE Release and Retaining Your Current FPD
Image
You may choose to upgrade your Cisco IOS-XE release with or without retaining your current FPD image.

Note

You may choose to upgrade your Cisco IOS-XE image and retain your current FPD image, although this
is not recommended.

Step 1

Use the no upgrade fpd auto command to disable the bundled FPD image.
Note
The automatic upgrade feature is disabled once you enter the no upgrade fpd auto command.

Step 2
Step 3

Save the configuration before loading the new image.

Load the new image.
Note
If your current FPD image is not compatible with the new image, the FRUs do not come online.

Upgrading the Programmable Hardware Devices in the Cisco cBR

Field-Programmable Devices

Field-Programmable Devices
Field-programmable devices (FPDs) are hardware devices implemented on router cards that support separate
upgrades.
FPD Upgrade
If you retained the current FPD images and only upgraded the Cisco IOS-XE software image, then use the
procedures described in this section to upgrade the FPD images.
These instructions are not always feasible for operating network environments. If these methods of upgrade
are not suitable for your situation, see other sections of this document for other methods of upgrading FPDs.

Upgrading FPD Images in a Production System

Adding a FRU to a production system presents the possibility that the FRU may contain versions of FPD
images that are incompatible with the Cisco IOS-XE release currently running the router. In addition, the FPD
upgrade operation can be a very CPU-intensive operation and therefore the upgrade operation may take more
time when it is performed on a production system. The performance impact will vary depending on various
factors, including network traffic load, the type of processing engine used, type of FRU, and the type of service
configured.
For these reasons, we recommend that one of the following alternatives be used to perform the FPD upgrade
on a production system if possible:

Verifying System Compatibility First

If a spare system is not available to perform an upgrade, you can check for system compatibility by disabling
the automatic upgrade feature before inserting the FRU.
If the FPD images on the FRU are compatible with the system, you will only need to re-enable the
automatic upgrade feature (the automatic upgrade feature can be re-enabled using the upgrade fpd auto
command).
If the FPD images on the FRU are not compatible with the system, the FRU is disabled but will not
impact system performance by attempting to perform an automatic upgrade.
Use the following procedure to check the FPD images on the FRU for system compatibility:

Step 1

Disable the automatic upgrade feature using the no upgrade fpd auto global configuration command.

Step 2

Insert the FRU into the system.

If the FPD images are compatible, the FRU will operate successfully after bootup.
If the FPD images are not compatible, the FRU is disabled. At this point we recommend that you wait for a scheduled
maintenance when the system is offline to manually perform the FPD upgrade as described in the Manually Upgrading
FRU FPD Images section.

Optional FPD Procedures

Step 3

Re-enable the automatic upgrade feature using the upgrade fpd auto global configuration command.

Using a Nonproduction System to Upgrade the Cisco cBR Series Converged Broadband Routers
FPD Image
Use the following procedure to perform an upgrade on a spare system:

Before You Begin

The spare system is running the same version of the Cisco IOS-XE software release that the target
production system is running.
The automatic upgrade feature is enabled on the spare system. (The automatic upgrade feature is enabled
by default. It can also be enabled using the upgrade fpd auto command).

Step 1

Insert the FRU into the spare system.

If an upgrade is required, the system will perform the necessary FPD image updates so that when this FRU is inserted
to the target production system it will not trigger an FPD upgrade operation there.

Step 2

Verify the upgrade was successful by entering the show hw-module all fpd command.

Step 3
Step 4

Remove the FRU from the spare system after the upgrade.
Insert the FRU into the target production system.

Optional FPD Procedures

This section provides information for optional FPD-related functions. None of the topics discussed in this
section are necessary for completing FPD upgrades, but may be useful in some FPD-related scenarios. It
covers the following topics:

Manually Upgrading FRU FPD Images

To manually upgrade the current FPD version on a FRU, use the following command:
Router# upgrade hw-module subslot [slot/subslot] fpd bundle [reload]
In this example, slot is the slot where the FRU is installed, subslot is the subslot number where the FRU is
located, fpd indicates the type of upgrade required, bundle selects the bundled FPD package, and reload
specifies that the FRU is automatically reloaded after the upgrade. Note that subslot slot/subslot is used to
specify a FRU FPD upgrade. The FRU will automatically be reloaded to complete the FPD upgrade.

Caution

An image upgrade can require a long period of time to complete depending on the FRU.

Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Hardware Installation Guide

231

Upgrading the Programmable Hardware Devices in the Cisco cBR

Verifying the FPD Image Upgrade Progress

Upgrading Multiple FPD Images

A single piece of hardware can contain multiple FPD images. The Cisco cBR Series Routers can upgrade up
to three FPD images simultaneously. However, only one FPD upgrade per router slot can occur at a time, so
all FPD images on all FRUs in a single slot will have to wait for another FPD upgrade to finish.

Note

Some FPD images require the FRU to reload to complete. The FPD upgrade process will perform this
step automatically, so users do not have to intervene. However, the other FPDs in the hardware of the
specified slot will have to wait for this reload to complete before their upgrade process begins.

Note

With a manual upgrade, you must include the reload option to cause the FRU to reload automatically.
During an automatic upgrade, the Cisco cBR Series Routers will upgrade as many FPDs as possible at a time.
No user intervention is possible or necessary. The upgrade process will not stop until all FPD images have
been updated.
During manual upgrades, it is important to note that users can only specify upgrades for a single piece of
hardware each time the upgrade hw-module subslot [slot/subslot] command is entered. The maximum of
three simultaneous upgrades applies to manual upgrades as well. If you individually specify multiple manual
FPD upgrades, only three FPDs can be upgraded simultaneously and that can only occur when the hardware
is in different router slots. The FPD upgrade process will stop when all FPDs for the specified hardware have
been upgraded.

Verifying the FPD Image Upgrade Progress

You can use the show upgrade fpd progress command to view a snapshot of the upgrade progress while an
FPD image upgrade is in progress. The following example shows the type of information this command
displays:
Router# show upgrade fpd progress

Troubleshooting Problems with FPD Image Upgrades

This section contains information to help troubleshoot problems that can occur during the upgrade process.
It contains the following topics:

Power Failure or Removal of a FRU During an FPD Image Upgrade

These instructions should only be used if a previous upgrade attempt has failed due to an external factor such
as a power failure or a FRU removal.

Cisco Converged Broadband Routers Hardware Installation Guide

232

Upgrading the Programmable Hardware Devices in the Cisco cBR

HW-Programmable Upgrades

If the FPD upgrade operation is interrupted by a power failure or the removal of a FRU, it could corrupt the
FPD image. This corruption of the FPD image file makes the FRU unusable by the router and the system will
display an error message.
The show hw-module all fpd command can be used to verify that the FRU is using a corrupted FPD image.

Performing an FPD Recovery Upgrade

The recovery upgrade procedure can only be performed on a FRU that has been powered off by the system
after it has failed all of the retries attempted to initialize the FRU.

Note

Because a recovery upgrade is done at a more conservative speed, it may take more than the estimated
upgrade time.

Note

Other factors can cause the system to ask Do you want to perform the recovery upgrade operation? Only
answer y to this question if you have attempted an FPD upgrade that has failed due to a power failure or
a FRU removal. If you are prompted for this question without having previously had a failed upgrade
attempt for one of the aforementioned reasons, contact Cisco Technical Support.
Perform the manual FPD image upgrade method using the upgrade hw-module subslot command to recover
from a corrupted image after the FRU has been powered off by the system.

HW-Programmable Upgrades
This section provides information for the HW-Programmable device upgrades.
Effective from Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.1S, an all-in-one firmware package is introduced for
HW-Programmable device upgrades. Packages such as PSoC, Line Card Daggits, UBoot Images and viper
are bundled together into the all-one-one package and released along with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.1S.

Note

The all-in-one package is applicable only for Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.1S.

Upgrading ROMMON

Upgrading ROMMON
The Cisco cBR boots up with the ROM monitor (ROMMON). ROMMON upgrades are released periodically.
When a ROMMON upgrade image is released, use the procedure outlined in this section to upgrade the
ROMMON in the Cisco cBR.
Use the showmon command to display the current image running of ROMMON.
rommon > showmon
Current image running (0/1): Boot ROM0
...

There are two Boot ROMs that need to be upgraded, Boot ROM0 which is the running Boot ROM on the
active SUP and Boot ROM1 which is the Boot ROM1 on the standby SUP not running currently. This procedure
upgrades both the Boot ROMs. During the upgrade process, the Boot ROM1 is upgraded first to ensure a
reliable backup copy in case the upgrade procedure fails.
During the upgrade process, the IOS sets the ROMMON upgrade flag. At the end of the upgrade procedure,
the router is reloaded. After reload, it is important to ensure that the same IOS-XE image (that is on the active
SUP) is loaded. There are two possible scenarios:
1 AUTOBOOT is set for the IOS-XE image that should be loaded. In this case, the router reload process
will automatically load the same IOS-XE image.
2 AUTOBOOT is not set. In this case load the same IOS-XE using step 6 of this procedure.

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3

Boot the image to IOS prompt.

Download the ROMMON package from Cisco.com and copy it to bootflash or harddisk.
Run the following command in IOS prompt:
Router#

upgrade rom-monitor filename bootflash:[package name] r0

The IOS upgrades ROMMON and sets ROMMON Upgrade Flag.

Step 4

Run the following command if you have a standby supervisor:

upgrade rom-monitor filename bootflash:[package name] r1
This example shows the output that is displayed after the upgrade rom-monitor command is used.

To make the new ROMMON permanent, you must restart the RP.

Step 5

Reload the Supervisor cards after the upgrade is complete.

Note
Do not power cycle the router. Power cycling the chassis may corrupt the ROMMON image.

Step 6

Rommon > b bootflash:<imagename>

Reload the Cisco IOS-XE software to reset the ROMMON upgrade flag.
This step is used in case AUTOBOOT is not set for the Cisco IOS-XE software image that should be loaded
when the router is reloaded.
This example shows the bootflash command with the image name of the Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.0S software image.
Note

Upgrading Uboot
This section provides the procedure to upgrade the Uboot in Cisco cBR-8 router.

Step 1
Step 2

Copy the firmware package file to the hard disk of the Cisco cBR-8 router.
copy ftp://location/firmware-name harddisk:

Upgrading the Fan PSoC Image in the Cisco cBR

Before You Begin

You could identify the fan module hardware using the show platform hardware slot Pslot psoc 0 version
command. The reg_ic_device_rev field shows the fan module firmware version.

Step 1

Copy the firmware package to harddisk.

Step 2

copy tftp:xxx harddisk:

Run the following upgrade command on the SUP IOS:
For Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.1S:
upgrade hw-programmable cable active_SUP fan pkg_name firmware_pkg_location_path
Example:
Router#upgrade hw-programmable cable R0 fan pkg_name
/harddisk/cbrsup-rp-hw-programmable-firmware.155-3.r.S3-ext.05.SPA.pkg

For Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.0S:

This command is specific to Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.0S alone. Using this command to upgrade the Fan
PSoC firmware on Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.1S may cause unexpected results.
For upgrading Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.0S, do not use the firmware package
cbrsup-rp-hw-programmable-firmware.155-3.r.S3-ext.05.SPA.pkg released for Cisco IOS-XE Release
3.16.1S. Use the firmware package cbrsup-rp-hw-programmable-firmware.155-3.r.S3-ext.02.SPA.pkg
for upgrading Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.

Caution
Caution

upgrade hw-programmable cable active_SUP psoc pkg_name firmware_pkg_location_path

Example:
Router#upgrade hw-programmable cable R0 psoc pkg_name
/harddisk/cbrsup-rp-hw-programmable-firmware.155-3.r.S3-ext.02.SPA.pkg

It takes approximately 15 minutes to upgrade the fan module PSoC for all the fan modules.
Note

Do not power-cycle or reload the router while the upgrade process is running.

When the upgrade is complete, the messages that indicate that the hardware programmable PSoC on each fan module
in each fan bay is upgraded successfully, are displayed.

What to Do Next

Note

The following procedures are applicable only for Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.16.0S and not for Cisco IOS-XE
Release 3.16.1S.
Perform one of the following two procedures:

Step 6

Once the system is up, check if it is running the new version of IOS-XE using show redundancy command. You will
find following information in the command output if the new IOS-XE image is running:
Image Version = Cisco IOS Software, cBR Software (X86_64_LINUX_IOSD-UNIVERSALK9-M),
cbrsup-universalk9.03.16.01.S.155-3.S1-ext.SPA.bin

The command output depends on the IOS-XE

version.
If the chassis has Docsis 3.0 downstream modules or Docsis 3.1 downstream modules on the line cards, the firmware of
each line card will automatically upgrade. You need to watch the logs for a suggested line card reload.
If you find following content in the output of the show log | include DSPHY command, it means an upgrade is taking
place.
