supports both DOCSIS data, video on demand (VoD), and switched digital video (SDV).
Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.3.1SQ and Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.2.3SQ, the Cisco RFGW-10
supports the new version of the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card with P4080 CPU revision 3. The Version
Identifier (VID) of the new Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card is 2. Ensure that you run one of the following
releases on the Supervisor engine 7-E for using the new version of Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card (with

Note
Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.2.0SQ, the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card supports the following
features:
features:
• Different port density combinations of up to 8 ports and 384 QAMs on every line card.
• Support for 1 QAM per port, 2 QAM per port, 4 QAM per port, 8 QAM per port, and up to 128 QAMs
per port in increments of 4. For example:
◦8 ports of 48 QAMs per port
◦6 ports of 64 QAMs per port
◦3 ports of 128 QAMs per port
• Downstream RF performance compliant with CableLabs CM-SP-DRFI-I11-110210.
• Flexible licensing of 64 to 384 QAMs carriers per line card in increments of 1 QAM.
Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.0SQ, for Annex B, the Cisco RFGW-10 supports a maximum
of 1024 downstream channels per line card, where a maximum of 384 QAMs as pilots and a maximum
of 640 QAMs as replicate. For Annex A, the Cisco RFGW-10 supports a maximum of 768 downstream
channels per line card, where a maximum of 288 as pilot and 480 as replicate.

Note
As with all components in the RF Gateway 10, the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card also provides high
availability. Up to two protect line cards can be configured to operate in redundancy mode.

A line card failure results in a failover to the protect line card in less than a second. The failed line card can
be debugged by taking it offline, resetting it, and bringing it back online and into operation.

The Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 line card is designed to support a wide range of line card health conditions and
initiate failover events if considered catastrophic:
