This chapter contains troubleshooting information for various functions of your CiscouBR10000series
Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) and includes the following sections:
Note For detailed information about troubleshooting your CMTS platform using cable flap lists, refer to
the chapter “Flap List Troubleshooting for the Cisco CMTS” in the Cisco Cable Modem Termination
Feature Guide on Cisco.com.

Section Purpose
“Understanding show Command
Responses” section on page2
Provides show command options for deriving system
information.
“Using a Headend CM to Verify
Downstream Signals” section on
page12
Uses a Cisco uBR924 cable access modem to verify the
downstream signal originating from a
CiscouBR10012router.
“Performing Amplitude Averaging”
section on page12
The system uses an averaging algorithm to determine the
optimum power level for a CM with low carrier-to-noise ratio
that is making excessive power adjustments—known as
flapping. This section shows how you can interpret these
power adjustments as indicating unstable return path
connections.
“Setting Downstream Test Signals”
section on page15
Provides configuration commands that allow you to create
downstream test signals.
“Pinging Unresponsive CMs” section
on page16
Allows a cable system administrator to quickly diagnose the
health of a channel between the CiscouBR10000series
cableinterface and the CM.
“Using Cable Interface debug
Commands” section on page17
Provides instructions for troubleshooting cable interface line
cards.
