Cisco RF Gateway 10 Supervisor Engine V-10GE

Product Overview

The Cisco

RF Gateway 10 Supervisor Engine V-10GE, Figure 1, for the Cisco RF Gateway 10

universal edge quadrature amplitude modulation modulator (U-EQAM) redefines the way

aggregation and traffic management features are managed at the edge of the cable network.

Specially optimized for the Cisco RF Gateway 10, the Supervisor Engine V-10GE can be deployed

in a redundant configuration with automatic failover. It runs the comprehensive feature set

available in Cisco IOS

Software Release 12.2 S, with an array of management, Ethernet

aggregation, and packet filtering functions -- now all embedded in the carrier-class Cisco RF

Gateway 10 platform.

Before, switches and routers had to be externally connected to edge QAMs and configured

separately to manage them. As separate elements, switches and routers and edge QAMs provided

limited management functionality, and the result has been less-scalable edge solutions. Now, with

the integrated Cisco RF Gateway 10 Supervisor Engine V-10GE, the intelligence of the Cisco IP

next-generation network (IP NGN) is available for more efficient and scalable packet forwarding

and management of line cards in the gateway.

Management of data and video traffic can be split into data plane and control plane processing.

The data plane manages the aggregation and forwarding of multiple services to the edge QAM

resources (for example, Ethernet switching, routing, aggregation, and filtering). Interactions with

control interfaces for video and DOCSIS

are managed by the control plane (for example, setup

and tear down of video sessions, creation of voice-over-IP [VoIP] calls, management of high-speed

data services, and management of the distribution of packets and environmental factors in the

gateway). The aggregation management utility in the supervisor engine allows cable operators to

extract detailed information from a single line card on the overall operational status of the entire

gateway.
