Troubleshooting Tips for the 
Cisco uBR924 Cable Access Router
Feature Summary
This document describes the Cisco IOS troubleshooting commands that may be used by cable 
service providers to verify communication between a Cisco uBR924 cable access router and other 
peripheral devices installed in the HFC headend such as a Cisco uBR7200 series universal 
broadband router, a DHCP server, and a TFTP server.
Benefits
The Cisco uBR924 cable access router troubleshooting system provides the following benefits:
A MAC-layer system log file that provides a snapshot of detailed reasons why an interface might 
reset, along with all the negotiations that occurred between the Cisco uBR924 cable access router 
and the CMTS. Over 220 possible description fields exist in this log, which is displayed using the 
show controllers cable-modem 0 mac log command from privileged EXEC mode. 
Debug does not need to be turned on in order to troubleshoot a Cisco uBR924 cable access router.
The progression of normal data-over-cable communication events is clearly explained, 
simplifying the resolution of faulty system connections.
Troubleshooting and diagnostic tasks can be performed on the Cisco uBR924 from a remote 
location using TELNET.
Restrictions
When using the Cisco uBR924 cable access router, keep the following restrictions and limitations in 
mind:
The Cisco uBR924 is able to implement multiple classes of service (CoS) on the cable interface; 
however, separate CoS streams are only available when the cable access router is connected to a 
headend that supports multiple CoS per cable access router. In addition, the configuration file 
downloaded to the cable access router must specify the use of multiple classes of service. 
If the Cisco uBR924 cable access router is connected to a DOCSIS 1.0 headend that does not 
support multiple CoS per cable access router, voice and data will be mixed, and voice traffic will 
be transmitted on a best effort basis. This may cause poorer voice quality and lower data 
throughput when calls are being made from the cable access router’s telephone ports. Voice 
quality may also be affected when transmitting or downloading large files, or at other times when 
network traffic is heavy.
